While at BET's '106 and Parks' anniversary party, " Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx, mentioned that fellow Oscar winner Halle Berry would be joining him and Martin Lawrence in 'The Skank Robbers.'
"I love Halle. We're working on a movie together at the beginning the year next year," he told 'Extra's Terri Seymour and AJ Calloway. "Myself, Martin Lawrence and Halle [called 'The Skank Robbers']. It's a Sheneneh and Wanda movie, the characters we played in 'In Living Color.' We rob banks from Northern California to Southern California. It's gonna be hot."
Both characters were part of the Fox TV Network during the 1990s as Foxx played Wanda on 'In Living Color' and Lawrence played Sheneneh on his show 'Martin.'
This is a film that has been talked about for some time and has yet to be greenlit.

The last time Berry did a comedy film was in 1997 when she starred in 'B.A.P.S.,' and that film was from New Line Cinema. Any notion that she might reprise her Nilsa character from the film is pointless.
Berry is currently filming 'Dark Tide' with Olivier Martinez. The Ohio native is set to star in the film 'Shoe Addicts Anonymous,' about four different women with nothing in common but their love for shoes and their 7.5 shoe size. In between films, Berry is slated to star on Broadway in Katori Hall's 'The Mountaintop,' where she will portray a hotel maid who delivers a meal to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the evening before his assassination.
Talk is cheap until production starts and Foxx has a lot of his plate with several TV deals in the works with his production company.
"With my new company, No Brainer with 'Chain Letter' director Deon Taylor, we sold five shows in four months," the 'Ray' star added. "There's a show at NBC called 'Tommy's Little Girl,' a show at TNT called 'Miss Philly,' a sketch comedy show that's gonna be on FOX and 'Damage Control' over at HBO."
Meanwhile, Lawrence's next film will be the third installment in the 'Big Momma' series, 'Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son.' He will be paired with Brandon T. Jackson as he reprises his role as FBI agent Malcolm Turner.
Nia Long will not be included in the film.
It would be nice to see the film get made, but with everyone involved having plenty of projects to keep them busy, I'm just not sure the stars are lining up soon enough.
In the meantime, watch the faux trailer with both actors in character.

This is disgusting! I can't believe these black men would sign up to fulfill a negative stereotype about black women. And Halle Berry!?!?! Seriously? You're the mother of a young lady of color; how could you agree to promote these stereotypical roles?

Tee,
I agree with you. The media is trying to confuse our children as to there God given sexual gender. I'm seeing more young men and young ladies dealing with this confusion. Thanks to Oprah Winfrey, Ellen, Kate Perry and others influencing our youth that whatever you feel or do is okay. Kate Perry sang the song "I kissed a Girl", but she is marrying Russel Brand not a woman. People will do anything for the god of money and fame. God have mercy upon them.

What the heck are you guys talking about? What parent in their right mind is gonna take their kids to see this movie? I'm sure it will be rated PG-13 for language and adult content. If your kid is over the age of 13 and they're confused about gender......well you got bigger problems on your hands and it's not Jamie and Martin's fault.

It is truly amazing what negroes will do to prostitute themselves for money... totally unconscious of the image they project to the world! But, every society must have its asses,fools, and buffoons. Unfortunately, these negroes gravitate to these roles and then hide behind the definition of " Entertainer."

It amazes me how blind some people are. Blacks dont pull any strings in Hollywood. Halle WAS GIVEN an award for her slutty performance, i dont think it was deserved the movie was trash and her role was not ground-breaking or phenomenal, but a funny thing happened...she won an Oscar for it. Why do you think that is. Obviously because the white people wanted to draw attention to this slutty role she played. Funny how angela bassett has yet to even be nominated for anything. Open your eyes and see the real truth, White men pull the strings in Homowood and they make sure that what THEY want to be seen IS SEEN. Therefore blacks who win awards do so for being shown in an unflattering light. And while you say every society must have asses and buffoons which is true, it is also true that every society has its greedy oppressors which puts his fingerprints on everything to make himself look good.
