The Upside trailer – Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston lead the cast of the remake
The Intouchables, if you remember, was a huge hit in its domestic territory, bringing in a huge $426 million around the world upon its original release in 2011/2012. The redo obviously wants to duplicate some of that success
Inspired by a true story, The Upside is a heartfelt comedy about a recently paroled ex-convict (Kevin Hart) who strikes up an unusual and unlikely friendship with a paralyzed billionaire (Bryan Cranston). Directed by Neil Burger and written by Jon Hartmere, The Upside is based on the hit 2011 French film The Intouchables.
