Netflix has announced a January 12th 2024 release date for “Lift,” a mid-air action comedy starring Kevin Hart and Gugu Mbatha-Raw among others.
In addition, the first photo from the film has been released. It follows on from the first footage of the movie, which was released earlier today as part of a two-minute promo advertising Netflix’s upcoming action fare.
“The Fate of the Furious” director F. Gary Gray helms the film, which follows an international heist crew who are recruited to prevent a terrorist attack from taking place mid-flight.
Hart will play a master thief who gets involved in the heist after being convinced by his ex-girlfriend. From the looks of the brief footage, the film looks like it wants to be a modern-day version of 1996’s “Executive Decision”.
The impressive cast also includes Vincent D’Onofrio, Sam Worthington, Jean Reno, Billy Magnussen, Paul Anderson, Burn Gorman, Ursula Corbero, Kim Yoon-ji, Viveik Kalra and Jacob Batalon. Daniel Kunka and Jeremy Donner penned the script.
The film was initially scheduled for August but has been pushed – Netflix will be releasing its Gal Gadot-led “Heart of Stone” in that August window instead.
Hart, Gray, Matt Reeves, Simon Kinberg, Brent O’Connor, Patricia Braga, Audrey Chon, Adam Kassan and Brian Smiley produce.
