Kevin Hart, the Philadelphia native, is currently filming his new comedy "72 Hours" in New Jersey, and aspiring actors have a unique opportunity to join him as extras.
The film revolves around a chaotic bachelor party that Hart's character stumbles into after being mistakenly included in a group text. This premise promises plenty of laughs and unexpected twists.
Grant Wilfley Casting is on the lookout for individuals aged 18 to 35 to fill various roles in the film. Their Facebook page has detailed three casting calls: one for a photo double of a principal actor, and others for nightclub and yacht party scenes.
While the specific filming locations remain undisclosed, the tentative shooting dates are set for June 24-26 and July 14-18, creating excitement among local fans eager to participate.
The screenplay is penned by Matt Mider, Kevin Burrows, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg. Notably, Saturday Night Live's rising star Marcello HernΓ‘ndez will portray the groom's best man, adding to the film's comedic ensemble.
Recently, Hart wrapped up his "Acting My Age" stand-up comedy tour with a memorable performance at The Met in Philadelphia.
In a conversation with CBS News Philadelphia's Ukee Washington, Hart discussed his new animated series "Lil Kev," which draws inspiration from his upbringing in North Philadelphia. "I love you saying 'love letter.' It's something I have not used, and I'll start using it. It's exactly what it is. It's flipping the narrative attached to the 'hood,' and for me, the hood was everything," he remarked, highlighting his connection to his roots.
