Kevin Hart to Remake Korean Box Office Hit ‘Extreme Job’ at Universal
Kevin Hart is producing with an eye to star in the comedy “Extreme Job,” an English-language remake of a Korean box office smash, and Universal Pictures has acquired the worldwide rights to the film.
Last March, “Extreme Job” became the highest grossing film of all time in South Korea, taking in $127 million in what was 14 times greater than the film’s budget. CJ Entertainment, the Korean entertainment conglomerate that made the original comedy, is developing and producing the English-language remake along with Hart’s HartBeat production banner.
