I can exclusively reveal that the “Scream” actor is attached to play the groom in the ensemble movie.
News of Mason’s casting follows Variety’s exclusive that “Saturday Night Live” star Marcello Hernandez is playing the groom’s best man and official bachelor party captain.
The Netflix movie stars Hart as a 40-something executive who joins a group of 20-somethings for a wild bachelor party in Miami after he inadvertently got added to their group text.
“72 Hours” is being directed by Tim Story. This marks the fifth collaboration for Hart and Story, who previously made “Think Like a Man” and the “Ride Along” series. Each of their previous outings led the box office at opening and have collectively earned a global haul of $445 million.
Matt Mider, Kevin Burrows, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg penned the script.
