WELCOME 2 OAKLAND
The Wayans brothers agreed to negotiate with Oakland city
officials to build a movie studio and theme park on a defunct
West Oakland Army base, a spokeswoman for the
entertainers said. Brothers Keenen Ivory, Damon, Shawn
and Marlon Wayans put down a $150,000 security deposit
and signed a negotiating agreement last week to develop
70 acres of vacant land, said family spokeswoman Kay
Carney. The City Council voted eight months ago to give
the family exclusive rights to analyze the site for possible
development. The agreement was delayed to accommodate
the brothers' busy schedules and negotiations with
lawyers over the deal, Carney said. The next step is to
analyze the site and develop more specific plans, Carney
said. The brothers have talked of building high-end retail
stores and a luxury hotel in addition to the studio and theme park.
