TRUE STORY: KEVIN HART
Wesley Snipes: 2 Brothers Do Crime & Celebrity
Kevin Hart has been known for his comedy roles in films for over a decade. These past few years, he’s been trying to take on more serious roles in an attempt not to become typecast. His next dramatic role will be in Netflix’s True Story with co-star Wesley Snipes.
Hart and Snipes play a pair of brothers. Hart’s character is a celebrity whose life takes a turn for the worst once his older brother begins to involve him in a life of crime and deceit. Unlike most Netflix shows, True Story will be a limited series meaning that this season will be its only season. That’s a shame because this may be Wesley Snipes’s best project ever!
While Kevin Hart has enjoyed cinema success, Snipes struggled for a bit. After the 90s and 2000s ended, Wesley ended up going to jail over taxes. When Snipes got out, he went back to what he did before going to jail: starring in mediocre straight-to-DVD movies. Wesley had some decent films mixed in there like Dolemite is My Name and Expendables 3, but for the most part, his movies were pretty bad.
With True Story, it looks like he may finally be getting his career back on track. It also helps that he has a big name like Kevin Hart alongside him.
True Story premieres on November 24th only on Netflix.
