Osupa 17 November 2009 In Production, Movies/DVD No Comment

Screen Gems acquired “Sheneneh and Wanda,” starring Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence, based on the female characters they created during the television shows.

In the comedy Sheneneh (Lawrence) and Wanda (Foxx) are modern-day independent women trying to make it on their own, one bank robbery at a time, Variety reports. The film originated as a parody of a movie trailer called “Skank Robbers,” that Foxx and Lawrence made for the 2009 BET Awards.

Foxx is tapped to pen the script, which he and Martin will produce through Foxx’s Foxxhole and Lawrence’s Runteldat production banners.

Foxx can be seen in “Law Abiding Citizen,” in theatres now and next in “Valentine’s Day.” Lawrence will next be seen in the comedy “Death at a Funeral.”
