Kevin Hart Reteaming with "Ride Along" Director Tim Story in Netflix Comedy "72 Hours"

Kevin Hart is reteaming with his "Ride Along" director Tim Story on a new movie at Netflix.

The project, titled “72 Hours,” stars Hart as a 40-year-old executive who hopes to save his flailing career by joining a group of twenty-somethings on a wild three-day bachelor party after he’s inadvertently added to their group text. Writers on the new project are Matt Mider & Kevin Burrows, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg.

“72 Hours” is produced by Hart’s Hartbeat, Davis Entertainment, Counterbalance and Will Packer. Ross Fanger executive produces. 

The film is being produced under the existing partnership where Sony Pictures offers Netflix a first look at films it intends to make for streaming.

The movie marks Hart and Story’s fifth collaboration following the successful “Think Like a Man” and “Ride Along” movies. The comedy films all debuted at the top of the box office and collectively earned more than $445 million worldwide. 

Story, who kicked off his billion-dollar filmmaking run with 2002’s “Barbershop,” also helmed segments for three of Hart’s comedy specials, beginning with 2011’s “Laugh at My Pain.”

“72 Hours” also continues Hart’s partnership with Netflix, where the comedian has starred in a string of movies including the international heist thriller “Lift,” the buddy comedy “Me Time,” the family drama “Fatherhood” and the action comedy “The Man from Toronto.” 

Last year, Netflix also released the comedy special “Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only” and Hart hosted “The Roast of Tom Brady” live event.
