Jason Statham and Kevin Hart Are Teaming Up For a New Action Comedy Titled THE MAN FROM TORONTO
Kevin Hart and Jason Statham are going to be teaming up for an action-comedy titled The Man from Toronto, which is being produced by Sony Pictures. The two actors recently briefly shared some scenes together in Hobbs & Shaw.
The story for the film “uses a case of a mistaken identity as its jumping off point after the world’s deadliest assassin, known as the Man from Toronto, and a New York City screw-up run into each other at an Airbnb. A clash of personalities, and a clash with deadly killers, ensues.”
It’ll be a blast watching these two actors play off each other in a movie like this! As you might expect, “the studio hopes to capture the vibe, and the box office returns, of the duo’s previous hits, but separately-starring Central Intelligence and Hobbs.”
The Man From Toronto will be directed by Patrick Hughes, who directed the Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson action comedy Hitman’s Bodyguard. He also previously worked with Statham when he directed The Expendables 3. The script for the film was written by Robbie Fox.
The studio is looking to release the film on November 20th, 2020.
