Lawrence and Foxx Resurrect Sheneneh And Wanda
Cinema Blend News —
Lawrence and Foxx Resurrect Sheneneh And Wanda Martin Lawrence has found a new actor to play second fiddle to. Hes trading in Will Smith for Jamie Foxx and teaming up with him in a Sony Screen Gems comedy called Sheneneh and Wanda . Yep the title does, as youve probably guessed, refer to the two female characters Lawrence and Foxx played on television early in their careers. Someone should probably tell them that its not 1995. Sheneneh is the skanky, female, occasionally present character Lawrence played on his weekly sitcom Martin . Wanda is the disgusting, sexed up female character Jamie Foxx played in a few skits on In Living Color . Now, a decade too late, theyre ...
Foxx and Lawrence Eyeing Sheneneh and Wanda

Variety reports that Screen Gems has acquired Sheneneh and Wanda , a comic vehicle for Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence to star in. The duo would play female characters they developed during their stand up comedy days in the caper film.
Foxx will write the script and he and Martin will produce together through Foxx's Foxxhole and Lawrence's Runteldat production companies.
The project originated as a parody of a movie trailer for a film called "Skank Robbers," which Foxx and Lawrence made for the BET Awards (watch below!). The reaction was strong enough that the duo decided to turn the concept into a real film.
In the comedy, Sheneneh and Wanda are modern day independent women ...

Foxx and Martin team
JoBlo's Movie Emporium News —
[image] Say what you will about the respective acting careers of Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence (which have been decidedly hit or miss), their early comedy careers had some hilarious high points. That said, I don't know that anyone is ready to see a feature film based on two of their most well-known comedy characters. Foxx and Martin are planning to team up for the Screen Gems comedy SHENENAH AND WANDA based on a concept by the two actors that Foxx will write. While both Lawrence and Foxx developed the characters as part of their early stand-up career, they're perhaps best known for their appearances on early-90s Fox TV shows "Martin" and "In Living Color." So why now resurrect ...

Dark Horizons - News —
A trailer spoof sketch that aired during the BET Awards show is set to become "Sheneneh and Wanda", a feature film caper comedy for Screen Gems reports Variety.
Martin Lawrence and Jamie Foxx would star as the titular Sheneneh Jenkins and Wanda Wayne respectively, two modern day independent women trying to make it on their own with the help of a bank robbery every now and then.
Lawrence played Sheneneh, a stereotypically flashy Detroit ghetto girl, as a recurring character in five seasons on his mid-90's FOX sitcom "Martin". Foxx played Wanda, a character meant to be the ugliest woman in the world, in several skits on hit early 90's sketch show "In Living ...

IFC Picks Up Assayas' 'Carlos'; James Marsh Goes To The 'Vatican'; Foxx and Lawrence To Make Worst Movie Ever
:: The Playlist :: —
[image] -IFC has picked up the rights to the theatrical edit of Olivier Assayas ' " Carlos ," a biopic about the infamous terrorist, at the American Film Market. Edgar Ramirez stars in the title role (first look to your left), in the project that was originally filmed as a three-part mini series. "Carlos" will air its complete version in Europe early next year, and on the Sundance Channel in the spring, while IFC plans to release the shorter cut in theaters next fall. There is no word yet on if the DVD will contain the full cut, but we can imagine that with IFC and Criterion's new relationship — which already includes a deal for Assayas' "Summer Hours" - that's ...
Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence Head Back to the ’90s with Sheneneh and Wanda
Film Junk —
Oh no you di’n't! I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence are teaming up for a comedy that will mean absolutely nothing to anyone over the age of 15. The two actors have signed on to bring two of the most enduring characters from their stand-up comedy days to the big screen: Sheneneh and Wanda! You may remember Martin Lawrence cross-dressing to play Detroit ghetto girl Sheneneh Jenkins from time to time on his sitcom Martin, while Jamie Foxx’s flirtatious, cross-eyed Wanda was one of the more popular characters on In Living Color. Now the two of them will join forces in a feature film that ...
THAT’S A MOVIE? SKANK ROBBERS: SHENENEH & WANDA
Filmdrunk —
Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence made the above trailer, Skank Robbers, featuring their characters Sheneneh and Wanda, as a bit for the BET awards. Audience reaction was said to be huge, and I imagine a lot of black women got out of their seats and pumped their fists and screamed because that’s what black women do at stand up shows. They’re the best audience, easily. Anyway, they’re going to make the fake trailer into a movie (a la Machete) for Screen Gems, because Screen Gems is basically Fox on a smaller scale.
Foxx will ...
