THE UPSIDE Starring Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston Gets January Release Date
The comedy-drama, The Upside, staring Kevin Hart, Bryan Cranston, and Nicole Kidman will get a January 11th release date, according to Variety.
The film premiered a year ago at the Toronto International Film Festival when the movie was still owned by the Weinstein Company. STX Entertainment made a deal last month for the film, after it collapsed amid the Weinstein sexual harassment scandal. STX partnered with Lantern Entertainment to handle worldwide distribution on Neil Burger's remake of the French hit "The Intouchables."
