Director Tim Story To Reteam With Kevin Hart For Superhero Comedy NIGHT WOLF
Director Tim Story (Fantastic Four, Ride Along, Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain, What Now?) is looking at teaming up with frequent collaborator Kevin Hart for another film project. He’s in negotiations to direct Hart in a superhero comedy titled Night Wolf for STX Entertainment.
Night Wolf follows a “Meet the Parents-esque encounter where a man (Hart) meets his future father-in-law for the first time only to discover he is secretly the superhero known as the Night Wolf.”
Story and Hart will also produce through their production companies, and Detective Pikachu scribes Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit are writing the script. Hart will star in and produce via his HartBeat Productions.
Adam Fogelson, Chairman of STXfilms Motion Picture Group, said in a statement:
“Tim was our first choice for this project. His skill with both comedy and action, along with his long history of working with Kevin on both Ride Along films, both Think Like a Man films, and many of Kevin’s comedy standup event films made him uniquely suited for this material. He came in with a great take and STX and HartBeat couldn’t be more excited to get started.”
For the most part, I’ve enjoyed Tim Story and Kevin Hart’s work and this sounds like it could be a fun comedy film project.
