Kevin Hart will play ‘The Wedding Ringer’ in Will Packer’s new romantic comedy

Posted by | Ray Cornelius

In June, we reported that Kevin Hart was teaming up with super-producer Will Packer for a new romantic comedy.  Well now it appears the film has a title and new cast members have been added to the roster.

According to Indie Wire, the Screen Gems/Miramax film is entitled, The Wedding Ringer  and stars Hart as a charismatic guy who provides best man services for socially challenged guys, who can’t get anyone to stand by them on their wedding day.

Think a remixed version of Will Smith’s HITCH.

The film stars The Book of Mormon’s  Josh Gad as the lucky groom, who hires Hart for his services. However, things don’t work out as planned and two find themselves in a hilarious predicament.

The film has also added Affion Crockett, Jenifer Lewis, Cloris Leachman, and Mimi Rogers.

The Wedding Ringer  is projected to debut sometime in 2014.
