The movie, which was originally designed to be watched in quick installments on a mobile device, will now get a full theatrical release. Quibi De Hart It’s getting a limited theatrical release through Prime Video, making for the latest twist in the Quibi saga – one that’s too long or complicated to fit into a Quibi video. “The Movie” – which is really a long rehash of the original ten episodes of the series – is directed by Strange: The Yankovic Story Helmer Eric Abel, who since Brooklyn Nine-Nine It’s clear he’s made a successful career for himself in an oddly specific niche (no pun intended). John Wick Franchise writer Derek Kolstad handled the screenplay.
total running time De Hart It is 1 hour 18 minutes long (unless there is something new added to the original series for the theatrical release). It will be shown in theaters worldwide on February 24 in “select cinemas,” which can be either a limited-release run in New York and Los Angeles, or a Fathom Events-style show where theaters across the country can sign up for a limited-edition run.
in De Hart, a fictional version of actor and comedian Kevin Hart is tired of being considered a sidekick. He’s set out to reinvent himself as an action star with the role of a lifetime, but things get dangerous in real life pretty quickly. The film stars John Travolta, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jean Reno and Josh Hartnett.
Originally launched on Quibi in 2020, De Hart It was one of the projects that Roku picked up when it acquired Quibi’s assets. Currently, Roku is in production with a date Die Hart 2: Die Harterstarring John Cena, Ben Schwartz, and Paula Bell, alongside the returning Hart.
Quibi was the brainchild of former Disney and DreamWorks executive Jeffrey Katzenberg. The concept was fairly simple: It would try to capture the energy around early TikTok or YouTube, where all content was short-form and suitable for personal devices…but it would do so with huge stars with bankable names. The company said its hope was to be the go-to entertainment platform for people riding mass transit, waiting in lines, and other chores that bring work to a midday halt.
Unfortunately for them, their launch occurred just as the Covid-19 pandemic shut down much of the world, and millions of people who might otherwise be bored on the subway suddenly found themselves sitting at home. These circumstances, combined with the fact that a lot of observers and potential users never thought it was a good idea to begin with, caused Quibi to quickly die, which folded in December 2020 — just 8 months after its programming debuted in April.
