Kevin Hart And Woody Harrelson Star In Killer Comedy 'The Man From Toronto' From Netflix: Check Out The Trailer
Netflix has released the trailer for its newest action-comedy The Man From Toronto.
The film stars comedian Kevin Hart as a normal guy who finds himself in serious trouble when he is mistaken for The Man from Toronto, the world's most deadly assassin (played by Woody Harrelson) when his Air B & B is accidentally double-booked with a group of criminals.
What follows is a series of scrapes with death as Hart is kidnapped by Harrelson in order to help him complete a hit.
No stranger to blending action with comedy, the film is directed by Patrick Hughes, who got his big-screen start with the ensemble actioner The Expendables 3 and The Hitman's Bodyguard, starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson.
Similar to story beats seen in both Hughes's past projects and Hart's "everyman in a bad situation" flicks, like Ride Along with Ice Cube, and Covert Intelligence starring Dwayne Johnson, the movie will most likely be more of the same.
Originally set to play the role of The Man from Toronto was Jason Statham, who worked with Huges on The Expendables 3. He left the project just six weeks before shooting due to disagreements with producers over the tone and rating of the film, leaving Harrelson to be recast in the role. (Not a bad choice at all for the part.)
The film also stars Ellen Barkin, Kaley Cuoco, Lela Loren, and Jasmine Matthews.
The Man From Toronto is set to stream on Netflix beginning on June 24.
