Sony Pictures has announced that production has officially begun on the third Bad Boys film, Bad Boys for Life. In addition, Production Weekly (via /Film) has a look at the plot synopsis. It seems that the stakes are going to be a bit higher in round three — particularly for Will Smith’s Mike Lowery.

The synopsis reads as follows: “The new installment centers on the Miami PD and its elite AMMO team’s attempt to take down Armando Armas, head of a drug cartel. Armando is a cold-blooded killer with a vicious, taunting nature. He is committed to the work of the cartel and is dispatched by his mother to kill Mike Lowery will take on the role of Rite, the tough and funny criminal psychologist who is the newly appointed head of AMMO and Mike’s former girlfriend- and the one who got away.”
