Foxx and Lawrence are ‘Sheneneh and Wanda’

Do you remember when Martin Lawrence was funny? Neither do I.

Do you remember when he was talented? Trick question.

Do you remember when Jamie Foxx had a supremely promising career track? Yes, I do.

And that’s why the news of Foxx and Lawrence being paired together in the comedy vehicle Sheneneh and Wanda is so frustrating to me. I look at Foxx and I think of his great turn in Collateral and Ray, and just weep for his future. He’s dropped off the face of the earth, only to resurface this way?

Apparently, Sheneneh and Wanda are female comic characters that the duo played in their old days, and they’re making a comeback. Foxx is writing the script for the film himself, with Lawrence producing. According to Variety, “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.”

In the film, they’ll be robbing banks. This is essentially all the info we have on Sheneneh and Wanda up to this point, but I’m sure that another high profile actor (likely female) will soon join the duo.

The film will be produced for Screen Gems.
