STXFilms has partnered with Lantern to release the trailer to the Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart film ‘The Upside,’ the English-language remake of the critically-acclaimed and box office hit The Intouchables.
Directed by Neil Burger (Divergent, Limitless) from a script written by Jon Hartmere, the film chronicles the unexpected friendship between Phillip Lacasse (Cranston), a Park Avenue billionaire left paralyzed after a hang-gliding accident, and convicted felon Dell (Hart), recently released from prison and in need of a job and a fresh start. From worlds apart, Phillip and Dell form an unlikely bond, bridging heir differences and gaining invaluable wisdom in the process, giving each man a renewed sense of passion for all of life’s possibilities.
The film also stars Nicole Kidman, Julianna Margulies and Aja Naomi King. The Upside is produced by Escape Artists. Jason Blumenthal, Todd Black, and Steve Tisch are the producers.
Written by Jon Hartmere, the English-language remake reinvents the French classic, The Intouchables, that took the world by storm and went on to gross over $400 million worldwide – making it the second highest grossing non-English language film of all time. In 2012, Omar Sy originated the role and won the Cesar Award for Best Actor. It’s the French equivalent of the Oscars. Cranston will playing the part originated in the French film by Francois Cluzet.
The Upside hits theaters on January 11, 2019.
