Kevin Hart’s upcoming movie titled ‘Die Hart’ is coming to Prime Video.
The project is a satirical action comedy that follows a fictionalized version of the comedian who is tired of being a comedic sidekick.
In pursuit of a life-changing role that will turn him into a superstar, Hart joins an “action hero school” run by Ron Wilcox (Travolta) where he learns the tricks to become a master of the game.
Produced by Hartbeat, Hart’s global media company, the movie also features Nathalie Emmanuel, Josh Hartnett, and Jean Reno. It is directed by Eric Appel and written by Derek Kolstad and Tripper Clancy.
The project is a reimagining of the ‘Die Hart’ series. Originally a ten-episode Quibi show, the movie is now a full-length movie that will be available on Prime Video later this month.
On acquiring the project, Chris Mansolillo, Director, Content Acquisition, Prime Video says, “We truly love this movie and can’t wait to share it with our customers in South Africa and worldwide. Kevin Hart is one of the world’s most talented entertainers and we’re so pleased to work with him and Hartbeat to be the exclusive home for this brilliant film.”
In addition to Prime Video, the movie will also be available in South Africa via distributor Empire.
