Bad Boys: Ride or Die Directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah Interview

“The Bad Boys of cinema,“ Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (Ms. Marvel), had no idea they would be returning to the franchise after Bad Boys for Life. “That's why we called it Bad Boys for Life,“ Fallah laughs, well aware of the missed title opportunity for the fourth installment, Bad Boys: Ride or Die. But when Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's reprisal of their iconic detective duo, Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, became a box office hit, and Sony almost immediately greenlit the next one, minutia like that was hardly a factor. Now, they're back with a game-changing storyline and innovative ways to put audiences directly into the action, in IMAX, no less. Collider recently teamed up with Sony and IMAX for an advanced IMAX screening, where Arbi and Fallah joined the audience after the movie to talk about reuniting with Smith and Lawrence for their explosive return. This time, Mike and Marcus are framed as fugitives, flipping the script on the beloved Bad Boys formula. Origi
