10 Big 2018 Movies You Should Be Worried About

Reason To Be Worried: Persistent behind the scenes trouble.

It's always worrying when you hear that a project has suffered a significant amount of behind-the-scenes trouble, and Bad Boys For Life, the third instalment in the action-comedy series, falls firmly in that camp.

Initially, Joe Carnahan was set to write and direct the threequel, but earlier this year, he left the director's chair, with several sources indicating that a new writer may be brought onboard too.

The film's release date has also been pushed several times, moving from 2017 to early 2018 and finally settling on November of next year, though considering the movie now lacks a director and may even need a new writer, that could easily change again.

Or, the project could be rushed out in order to meet that date. Or, it could continue festering in development hell until it's scrapped altogether. Sony doesn't seem to have a firm grip on proceedings, and the messy road Bad Boys For Life is taking to the big-screen could very well be reflected in the finished product.

That's if it ever actually comes together.

It's also been an incredibly long wait since Bad Boys 2 (2003), and if Zoolander 2, Dumb And Dumber 2, Die Hard 4 and Indiana Jones 4 taught us anything, it's that a lengthy time gap can be a big mistake.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
