Kevin Hart's 'Die Hart' Series Getting Feature Film

African-American actor Kevin Hart’s ‘Die Hart’ is being refashioned as ‘Die Hart The Movie’ for Prime Video.

The satirical action-comedy will launch worldwide on 24 February 2023 and screen in select cinemas in South Africa via distributor Empire.

The movie is a shortened version of the Hartbeat-produced series. Launched in 2020, the original 10-episode series starred Hart, John Travolta, Nathalie Emmanuel, Josh Hartnett, and Jean Reno.

Meanwhile, the reimagined movie for Amazon is also directed by series director Eric Appel (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and written by series writer Derek Kolstad.

“We truly love this movie and can’t wait to share it with our customers,” said Chris Mansolillo, Director, Content Acquisition, at Prime Video. “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.”

Jeff Clanagan, Hartbeat’s Chief Distribution Officer and Die Hart producer, affirmed: “We are excited to team up with Prime Video, to share with viewers a new Die Hart experience through its release as a feature-length film.”

Clanagan added: “Die Hart has become a powerhouse franchise for Hartbeat and an incredible crowd-pleaser that unites audiences around the world through laughter. We are thrilled to partner with Prime Video and Empire to bring Die Hart the movie to both audiences at home worldwide and cinema goers in South Africa, furthering its growing impact on a global stage.”
