'Sheneneh and Wanda' Heading to Big Screen

It started as a comedy sketch on the BET Awards, but by popular demand, a movie will be produced starring the characters Sheneneh from "Martin" and Wanda from "In Living Color."
Screen Gems has acquired "Sheneneh and Wanda," starring Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence in the female characters they developed for their respective television shows.
Foxx will write the script and he and Martin will produce together through Foxx's Foxxhole and Lawrence's Runteldat production banners, reports 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. 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 trying to make it on their own, one bank robbery at a time.
Foxx, who last starred in "Law Abiding Citizen," will next be seen in the romantic comedy "Valentine's Day." Lawrence will next be seen in the Screen Gems comedy "Death at a Funeral."

How I detest these ghetto loud mouths as stereotypical in the Black communities, because it is not true and it is just a small percentage... I will not be watching this.

COOOOOOOOOOOL! And I wish FLIP WILSON was still alive and he could play Geraldine as the hip Aunt or mama - LOL! Love it!
If Jamie and Martin decide to do a follow up to the movie they could include EDDIE MURPHY as Rasputia (from Norbit), MIGUEL NUNEZ as Juwanna (from Juwanna Man) and VING RHAMES as Holiday (from Holiday Heart). Now that would be a HOT MESS - OWWWWWW! LOL!
