Netflix and Kevin Hart are continuing their strong relationship as sources tell Deadline that Hart is set to star in the comedy 72 Hours with Tim Story directing. Hartbeat, Davis Entertainment, Counterbalance and Will Packer are producing from a script by Matt Mider & Kevin Burrows, Jon Hurwitz & Hayden Schlossberg, who penned the script ten years ago.
The film follows a 40-year-old executive who hopes to save his flailing career by joining a group of twentysomethings on a wild three-day bachelor party, after he’s inadvertently added to their group text. Ross Fanger is exec producing. The film is being produced under a partnership in which Sony Pictures, that began in 2021, will offer Netflix a first look at any films it intends to make for streaming.
Davis Entertainment had been spearheading the development of the project going back to when Hurwitz and Schlossberg penned the initial draft. When Hart recently committed to star, followed by his Ride Along director Story, the project gained new life and has become a high priority for Netflix.
The film is part of Hartbeat’s long-standing relationship with bringing comedy to the platform. Last year, they released Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only, The Roast of Tom Brady, and Lift, which became the No. 1 global movie on Netflix, with 32.8 million views and 58.5 million hours viewed in its first three days on the platform. Prior to that, their 2022 film Me Time also debuted as the No. 1 movie.
Story has directed 11 major studio feature films, eight of which debuted at No. 1 at the box office during opening weekend: Tom & Jerry, Ride Along 2, Think Like a Man Too, Ride Along, Think Like a Man, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Fantastic Four and Barbershop. His films have grossed more than $1 billion at the box office, making him the first Black director to hit that milestone.
Counterbalance is coming off the finale of its hit Netflix series Cobra Kai and also is behind other successful R-rated comedy franchises as Harold & Kumar, American Reunion and Hot Tub Time Machine.

The “Snowfall” spinoff just took a major step forward, with the potential series scoring a pilot order at FX, Variety has learned exclusively.
The untitled drama was first reported to be in early development in 2023 ahead of the series finale of “Snowfall.” As reported at the time, “Snowfall” star Gail Bean will return for the spinoff in the role of Wanda Bell-Simmons. She will be joined by fellow original cast member Isaiah John, who played Leon Simmons.
The official logline for the pilot states, “Set in 90s Los Angeles soon after the end of the original series, a recovering addict (Bean) strives to take West Coast rap mainstream despite potential infighting from a harrowing gang war.”
Malcolm Spellman will write and executive produce the pilot, with “Snowfall” alums Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Julie DeJoie, Michael London and Trevor Engelson all executive producing as well. FX Productions is the studio.
Along with Bean and John, the cast of “Snowfall” included Damson Idris, Carter Hudson, Emily Rios, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Michael Hyatt, Amin Joseph, Angela Lewis, and Alon Aboutboul.
Created by the late great John Singleton as well as Eric Amadio and Andron, “Snowfall” explored the crack cocaine epidemic in South Central LA through the perspective of different characters. Those included budding drug kingpin Franklin Saint, CIA operative Teddy McDonald, and cartel enforcer Gustavo “El Oso” Zapata. The highly-popular show aired for six seasons on FX between 2017 and 2023.

Tracy Morgan had a bout of food poisoning while in the front row at a New York Knicks game this week, the comedian revealed to fans on Instagram on Tuesday, assuaging concerns about his health after video of the incident went viral online.
“Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing ok now and doctors say it was food poisoning,’ Morgan wrote to his 915,000 fans on the platform. “Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me and I need to shout out to the crew that had to clean that up. Thank you! More importantly, the Knicks are now 1-0 when I throw up on the court so maybe I’ll have to break it out again in the playoffs.”
A photo of Morgan giving a thumbs-up appears with his Instagram update. The 30 Rock Emmy winner has monitoring devices attached to his torso in the image, but he appears to be in good condition.
Morgan became ill during the third quarter of the game, People reported on Monday. The game was delayed for about 10 minutes while the actor was tended to by stadium staff.
Videos and photos posted online by those at the game at Madison Square Garden showed Morgan looking sick and vomiting before he was escorted out of the arena in a wheelchair while holding what appeared to be a white towel up to his face that was covered in red stains; he seemed to be bleeding, one commenter posted online.
This is not the first health scare for Morgan that’s taken place in public. In 2012, he collapsed outside a building in Park City while attending the Sundance Film Festival; he later wrote on Twitter that the high altitude in Utah “shook up this kid from Brooklyn.” His publicist, Lewis Kay, said at the time that the incident resulted from a combination of exhaustion and altitude. Morgan returned to work on 30 Rock just a couple of days later.
He also famously survived a near fatal car accident in 2014, when a Walmart truck slammed into the back of a limo-van carrying Morgan and two others. He was seriously injured but made a full recovery. But his friend comedian James “Jimmy Mack” McNair, died in the accident.

Will Smith has announced the date that his latest album will be released as his imminent return to the world of hip-hop continues after a 20-year hiatus.
The actor-rapper-producer shared the news on Instagram on Sunday, writing in a post that his new album is scheduled for release in two weeks.
“It’s OFFICIAL!! My new album, Based on a True Story, drops on March 28. TWO WEEKS!! Hit that presave. Been working on this project for a minute and I’m itchin’ to get it out to y’all 🫶🏾,” Smith posted on the social media platform to his 69.5 million followers.
The 14-track album will reunite Smith with DJ Jazzy Jeff and feature collaborations with Teyana Taylor and Jac Ross. Smith released a single, “Beautiful Scars,” that features Big Sean and Obangain, in January.
The iconic comic and dramatic actor, and an Oscar winner for 2021’s King Richard, Smith has risen to the level of a multi-hyphenate pop culture phenomenon over his career, which began with rap music. He emerged from the fledgling hip-hop scene in the late 1980s as half of the duo DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince with instant classics like “Parents Just Don’t Understand” and “Girls Ain’t Nothing but Trouble,” both of which came with videos that enjoyed heavy MTV rotation.
Smith’s long-running hit NBC sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, featured his rapping, and as his Hollywood career took off, his music career flourished in tandem. At times, his franchise and Hollywood blockbuster movies, including Wild Wild West and Men in Black, featured a title track from Smith. His hip-hop career hit a peak with 1997’s Big Willie Style; he released three more records, Willennium (1999), Born to Reign (2002), and Lost and Found (2005), before putting down the mic to focus on his career in film as an actor and producer.
As an icon of entertainment for the last several decades, Smith is still, for many, rehabilitating his reputation after the shocking moment at the 2022 Academy Awards. This notorious Oscars moment saw the actor walk onstage and slap Chris Rock across the face following a joke the comedian made about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith. The fallout of that moment tarnished Smith’s reputation and led to him being banned from the Oscars for 10 years.
