Central Intelligence Trailer – Dwayne Johnson & Kevin Hart take on the bad guys

November 21, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

central-intelligence-poster-thumbSynopsis: ‘The story follows a one-time bullied geek who grew up to be a lethal CIA agent (Johnson), coming home for his high-school reunion. Claiming to be on a top-secret case, he enlists the help of the former “big man on campus” (Hart), now an accountant who misses his glory days. But before the staid numbers-cruncher realizes what he’s getting into, it’s too late to get out, as his increasingly unpredictable new friend drags him through a world of shoot-outs, double-crosses and espionage that could get them both killed in more ways than he can count.

‘Central Intelligence also stars Oscar® nominee Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone), Aaron Paul (TV’s Breaking Bad) and Danielle Nicolet (TV’s The Game). The film is directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (We’re the Millers, Dodgeball). The screenplay is by Ike Barinholtz & David Stassen and Rawson Marshall Thurber, from a story by Ike Barinholtz & David Stassen. It is produced by Scott Stuber (Ted), Peter Principato (TV’s Black-ish), Paul Young (Black-ish) and Michael Fottrell (Furious Seven).

‘Serving as executive producers are Ed Helms, who worked with Thurber on We’re the Millers, Samuel J. Brown and Michael Disco. New Line Cinema and Universal Pictures present a Bluegrass Films/Principato Young Entertainment Production, a Rawson Marshall Thurber Film, Central Intelligence. It will be distributed in the U.S. by Warner Bros. Pictures, and internationally by Universal Pictures.’

You can expect it in cinemas July 2016. [Read more…]

Kevin Hart Says His ‘Insecurities’ Means He Won’t Play Gay

January 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kevin-hartWhile more and more actors are happy to play gay characters, there are some who aren’t – but usually they don’t say why, often suggesting they simply haven’t found the right role. However Kevin Hart has stepped forward to say why he doesn’t think he could play gay, and to be honest what he says probably applies to a lot of other actors too.

Talking to Breakfast Club on New York’s Power 105.1 (as reported by TMZ), the comedian and actors said, “I can’t [play a gay character] because I don’t think I’m really going to dive into that role 100 percent, because of the insecurities about myself trying to play that part. What I think people are going to think while I’m trying to do this is going to stop me from playing that part the way I’m supposed to.”

However he was also keen to point out that he “appreciates and respects” gay people.

There are undoubtedly plenty of actors out there for whom their worries about people’s reactions to it still prevent them from taking gay roles, but thankfully it’s getting rare.

The Wedding Ringer Trailer – Josh Gad needs Kevin Hart to be his fake Best Man

December 29, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The-Wedding-Ringer-pic1Kevin Hart, Josh Gad and Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting star in the wedding/bromance comedy The Wedding Ringer, which is hoping to keep up chuckling through the cold winter nights, and to get us in the mood, a new trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Doug Harris (Josh Gad) is a loveable but socially awkward groom-to-be with a problem: he has no best man. With less than two weeks to go until he marries the girl of his dreams (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), Doug is referred to Jimmy Callahan (Kevin Hart), owner and CEO of Best Man, Inc., a company that provides flattering best men for socially challenged guys in need. What ensues is a hilarious wedding charade as they try to pull off the big con, and an unexpected budding bromance between Doug and his fake best man Jimmy.’

It’s out in the US in January and hits the UK on February 20th. [Read more…]

Get Hard Trailer – Will Ferrell gets Kevin Hart to prepare him for life behind bars

December 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

get-hard-posterWhen millionaire hedge fund manager James King (Will Ferrell) is nailed for fraud and bound for a stretch in San Quentin, the judge gives him 30 days to get his affairs in order. Desperate, he turns to Darnell Lewis (Kevin Hart) to prep him for a life behind bars. But despite James’ one-percenter assumptions, Darnell is a hard-working small business owner who has never received a parking ticket, let alone been to prison.

Together, the two men do whatever it takes for James to “get hard” and, in the process, discover how wrong they were about a lot of things – including each other.

Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart join forces in the feature comedy “Get Hard,” also starring rapper Tip “T.I.” Harris, Alison Brie, and Craig T. Nelson.

The film is directed by Etan Cohen, making his feature directorial debut following a successful writing career, with credits including “Tropic Thunder.” The screenplay is by Jay Martel & Ian Roberts and Etan Cohen, story by Adam McKay and Jay Martel & Ian Roberts. Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy are the producers, with Ravi Mehta, Kevin Messick and Jessica Elbaum serving as executive producers.

The creative filmmaking team includes director of photography Tim Suhrstedt (“Little Miss Sunshine”); production designer Maher Ahmad (“The Hangover Part III”); editor Michael Sale (“We’re the Millers”); and costume designer Shay Cunliffe (“The Bourne Legacy”).

“Get Hard” is scheduled to open worldwide beginning Friday, March 27, 2015. [Read more…]

Jon Hamm, Kevin Hart & Sarah Silverman In Talks For The Incredible Mr. Limpet

July 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jon-hammNow that Richard Linklater’s 12-year odyssey to make Boyhood is out of the way, he’s moving full steam ahead with the long-gestating remake of the 1964 animated comedy The Incredible Mr. Limpet.

Zach Galifianakis is already attached to star, but he now likely to get some impressive company, as TheWrap reports that Jon Hamm, Kevin Hart, Danny McBride, Sarah Silverman, Josh Gad, Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele are all in talks for the movie.

The part live-action, part animated 1964 original starred Don Knotts as a man who wishes he was a fish (doesn’t everyone?), which then becomes true. The first version is set during World War II, where Limpet goes off to fight the Nazis, although this new version will be told in a contemporary setting.

Zach Galifianakis will play the lead role of Henry, with Jon Hamm as the main villain. Danny McBride and Sarah Silverman are likely to get live action roles, while Kevin Hart, Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele are expected to voice sea creatures.

The Wedding Ringer Trailer – Kevin Hart & Josh gad team up for a comedy

June 20, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The-Wedding-Ringer-pic1Many feel Kevin Hart should be a bigger movie star than he is. Ride Along certainly helped get Hollywood to focus their attention on him, and now he’s got The Wedding Ringer coming, where he teams up with Josh Gad. The trailer is here, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jimmy provides best man services for socially challenged guys, who – for whatever reason – have no one close enough to agree to stand by them on the day of their wedding. Doug, a groom-to-be, has found himself in just such a situation, but, to make matters worse, he fabricates the names of not only a best man but nine groomsmen as well. When all else fails, Doug seeks out Jimmy’s services to carry out a charade designed to make Doug look his best, but threatens to destroy everything if it fails.’

The Wedding Ringer is due out early next year. [Read more…]

Jamie Foxx & Kevin Hart Up For Black Phantom, With Tim Story Directing

March 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jamie-foxxWith a title like Black Phantom, you might expect Jamie Foxx and Kevin Hart are trying to rebalance the largely white world of superhero movies – especially with Fantastic Four helmer Tim Story attached to helm – but it’s actually a comedy thriller, according to Variety.

The film follows a double-crossed mob hitman who enlists the help of the Black Phantom, the same African-American hitman who had been sent to kill him.’ It’s not clear which of those character Foxx and and Hart will play.

The film will reunite Hart and Story, who are just coming off the success of Ride Along. It’s not clear when it will shoot.

Kevin Hart Teams With Basketball Star Lebron James For Ballers

December 6, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kevin-hartQuite a few sports stars have tried to make the movie to film, from OJ Simpson to Michael Jordan. Now another is making the move, as NBA superstar LeBron James is planning to star in Ballers. Now Deadline reports that comedy star Kevin Hart is also onboard for the movie.

The movie is about a man (Hart) who has spent his life living in the shadow of his basketball superstar brother (James). However, he gets a chance to shine during a weekend fantasy basketball camp in Miami.

The script was originally written by Lowell Ganz, Babaloo Mandel and Peter Steinfeld, but now Hart will re-write it alongside Joey Wells, Chris Spencer and Harry Ratchford.

No director is currently attached, but the producers will begin the search for one after the new screenplay has been completed. Production will hopefully get underway next summer, once the current NBA season has finished.

About Last Night Trailer – Kevin Hart and Regina Hall star in the remake

September 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


David Mamet’s play, Sexual Perversity In Chicago, got a loose adaptation as About Last Night – starring Rob Lowe and Demi Moore – in 1986. Now it’s coming back with a largely African American cast, although it’s been suggested that this About Last Night will be closer to Mamet’s original.

Leslye Headland’s script follows two couples, one of whom seem perfectly suited for one another, but things go horribly wrong when they move in together. The other two are the squabbling best friends of the other couple who form their own bond. Michael Ealy, Joy Bryant, Kevin Hart, Regina Hall and Adam Rodriguez star.

Now a new trailer has arrived, ahead on the film’s planned February 2014 release. [Read more…]

Tropic Thunder Writer Etan Cohen To Direct Will Ferrell & Kevin Hart InGet Hard

September 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Etan-CohenEtan Cohen, who’s probably best known for co-writing Tropic Thunder, has signed up to direct Warner Bros’ comedy Get Hard, according to Variety. Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart have been attached to star in since December.

The film is about an affluent investment banker (Ferrell) who is sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit (nobody in films goes to prison for crimes they did commit – except for maybe the bad guy at the end). Before he is locked up, he ‘trains’ for prison life with the man who washes his car (Kevin Hart).

Warner Bros. wants to start shooting as soon as possible, as they want to get it in the can before the actors commit to any other movies. Etan Cohen’s feature directorial debut was supposed to Daddy’s Home, which also has Will Ferrell attached to star, but now Get Hard is likely to come first.
