Netflix Picks Up Comedy Film Starring Kevin James

Netflix already has a four-film deal in place with Adam Sandler, and now, the streaming video platform has picked up a film featuring a frequent Sandler co-star. Kevin James, who most recently appeared in the critically-savaged sequel Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, will star in The True Memoirs Of An International Hit Man, which Netflix has acquired.

In True Memoirs, James plays an author who must flee to Belize after he is mistaken for an assassin. While James’ auspicious filmography, Mall Cop 2’s 6% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the recent issues that have plagued Netflix’s other comedy film projects

may make potential viewers less than excited about True Memoirs, the film does have a few enticing elements going for it. Its director, Jeff Wadlow, led superhero sequel Kick Ass 2, and its script, written by Jeff Morris, comes from Hollywood’s Black List, which notes the best unproduced screenplays of each year.

Other upcoming film projects from Netflix include the sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and four films from the Duplass brothers. No release date for True Memoirs has yet been announced.
