‘White Chicks 2’ On the Way

You know you wanted more.  Why else would you have gone to see ‘Dance Flick’ giving the Wayans’ clan more money?  So that studios know how profitable they are, and so ‘White Chicks 2’ would get a greenlight.  That’s what The Hollywood Reporter is saying, anyway.

I, personally, never saw ‘White Chicks,’ so I am guessing by this news that the first film didn’t end ‘Butch and Sundance’ style with Marlon and Shawn Wayans going out in a hail of bullets.  They will be returning to star in this proposed sequel.  Keenen Ivory is directing, and all three of the brothes are writing it.

The original ‘White Chicks’ scored $113 million worldwide when it was released in 2004.  That is against a $37-million budget.  Earlier this year, ‘Dance Flick’ broke even with $25 million.  ‘White Chicks 2’ is to be produed by Rick Alvarez and Joe Roth under the Roth Films banner.
