"The Intouchables" is a French comedy film which tells the story of a quadriplegic aristocrat who hires a young man from the projects to be his caregiver. The film, which is based on a true story, has received several award nominations. Now, Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston will do a remake of this film and it is titled "Untouchable."
Cranston stars as the millionaire quadriplegic, and Hart is his caretaker. Entertainment Weekly said that the original film is a tough act to follow, raking in more than $426 million worldwide. The Hollywood version has been in the works for years, and now, filming is finally underway.
On Tuesday, Hart posted the first photo of his and Cranston's characters. On his Instagram post, Hart said: "Working with Bryan Cranston is absolutely incredible. I can't wait for you guys to see our version of this film." Hart also said that he is excited to play his character who he said is in the prison of his own making.
Philly.com said that Hart and Cranston were spotted filming in Philadelphia, driving by City Hall and down Broad Street in a silver Ferrari. Usually, cars featuring actors driving in vehicles are filmed by towing the vehicle, but photos show that Hart actually drove the Ferrari around with a camera rig strapped to the side of the car.
Although the "Untouchable" stars were accompanied by three police cars, fans were not deterred from catching up to the car for a selfie with the stars. A taxi cab was spotted to be dressed up like a New York City cab at the shoot, which means that Philadelphia may be serving as a stand-in for the Big Apple.
Meanwhile, "How to Get Away with Murder" star Aja Naomi King has signed to star in "Untouchable." The movie also stars Nicole Kidman, and Genevieve Angelson, and Nicole Kidman.
