This wild bachelor party just got even bigger. Teyana Taylor (“Straw,” “A Thousand and One”), Ben Marshall (“Saturday Night Live,” “Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain”) and Zach Cherry (“Severance,” “Fallout”) have joined the cast of Netflix’s comedy feature “72 Hours.” Rising standup comedian Kam Patterson will also make his feature debut in the film.
The actors join previously announced cast members Kevin Hart, Marcello Hernández and Mason Gooding. The official logline for “72 Hours” reads, “A forty-year-old executive hopes to save his flailing career by joining a group of twenty-somethings on a wild three-day bachelor party, after he’s inadvertently added to their group text.”
Tim Story (“Barbershop,” “Think Like a Man” franchise, “Ride Along” franchise) will direct from a script by Matt Mider & Kevin Burrows, Jon Hurwitz & Hayden Schlossberg, the latter two having written the original draft.
Producers are John Davis for Davis Entertainment; Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald for Counterbalance Entertainment; Kevin Hart, Luke Kelly-Clyne & Bryan Smiley for Hartbeat; Will Packer; and Tim Story for The Story Company.
Executive producers are John Fox and Jeremy Stein for Davis Entertainment; Dina Hillier for Counterbalance; Vicky Mara Story for The Story Company; and Kayla Stamps for Hartbeat.
“72 Hours” continues Hart’s partnership with Netflix, where the comedian has starred in a string of movies including the international heist thriller “Lift,” the buddy comedy “Me Time,” the family drama “Fatherhood” and the action comedy “The Man from Toronto.” Last year, Netflix also released the comedy special “Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only” and Hart hosted “The Roast of Tom Brady” live event.
