Kevin Hart Teams Up With Seth Rogen In Upcoming Comedy Movie

Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Kevin Hart will star alongside Seth Rogen in an upcoming comedy film.

Paramount has recently acquired the untitled buddy cop movie with the actors attached to it. The two comedic stars will play the first interracial police partnership, in a plot set in the late 1940s when the mere thought of black and white cop partners didn’t exist. In the script, the duo go undercover in the jazz scene to bust a big marijuana ring.

Rogen and his business partner Evan Goldberg will produce along with Rodney Rothman. Rothman, who worked with Seth Rogen in the past, will write the script. The writer’s credits include him being a producer on the comedy smash Get Him to the Greek.

Hart can be currently seen in the Screen Gems’ comedy movie Think Like a Man and he also co-stars in The Five-Year Engagement.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
