Kevin Hart stars in new comedy "72 Hours." Here's a chance to be an extra in the movie.
Hart is starring in a comedy called "72 Hours." It's about a wild bachelor party that Hart joins after he's inadvertently added to a group text.
A casting agency is seeking individuals between the ages of 18 and 35 for scenes. Grant Wilfley Casting's Facebook page posted three castings for the film. One post has a casting for a photo double of a principal actor. Another post is for nightclub-goers and yacht party-goers.
They haven't announced the exact location yet. However, the tentative dates for filming are June 24-26 and July 14-18.
The film is written by Matt Mider, Kevin Burrows, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, with Saturday Night Live breakout star Marcello Hernández as the groom's best man, according to Tudum by Netflix.
Hart completed his 2024 stand-up comedy tour "Acting My Age" with a homecoming stop at The Met.
Hart recently spoke with CBS News Philadelphia's Ukee Washington about his new animated original series "Lil Kev," inspired by his childhood in North Philly.
"I love you saying 'love letter.' It's something I have not used, and I'll start using it. It's exactly what it is. It's flipping the narrative attached to the 'hood,' and for me, the hood was everything," Hart said.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron Resigns After Getting Caught on Coldplay Kiss-Cam
Andy Byron, the CEO of Astronomer, who also caught on the Coldplay kiss cam earlier this week, has now resigned, according to a statement from the data infrastructure company, The Hollywood Reporter received. During Coldplay's Wednesday night concert in Boston, a jumbotron caught the CEO with his arms around his top human resources executive, Kristin Cabot, in a kiss-cam segment. When the camera panned to them, Byron ducked down, and Cabot turned around, trying to hide her face. Both Byron and Cabot are married to other people. When the incident happened, Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin jokingly said, 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.'

Clearing the Way: Robin Kaye's Legacy as a Champion for Music Supervision
The entertainment industry remains deep in mourning over the death of Robin Kaye, the longtime music supervisor for American Idol, who was found murdered along with her husband, Thomas Deluca, in their home in an apparent double homicide. Kaye's contemporaries are remembering her as a consummate professional who had a keen talent for working with creatives, and for her stewardship as an advocate in championing the music supervision profession as a whole. More from The Hollywood Reporter Girl Group XG on Their Dynamite Coachella Debut and Sharing Their Love for Fans on "Million Places" The Internet Agrees: Coldplay Concert Scandal Was the Funniest Thing to Happen This Week Billy Joel Sits Down With Bill Maher for Post-Brain Disorder Diagnosis Interview 'She was a fierce advocate of supervisors, she was a smooth, pragmatic and calming presence to all of us,' veteran producer and a founding member of the Guild of Music Supervisors Jonathan McHugh tells The Hollywood Reporter. 'She was working with the Guild early, she produced our award show, she believed in the goal of helping improve the craft and make sure the bigger supervisors were helping the smaller ones.' Jill Meyers, who spent over a decade as music supervisor on rival music contest The Voice, said she shared a close bond together with Kaye and Ginsburg, adding that 'it felt like we worked for each other, three people from competing shows who loved each other and constantly did our best to help and boost the others up.' Maureen Crowe, the Guild's founding president, called Kaye 'such a bright light in our community,' lauding her efforts as an early Guild board member and vice president, and for her work on building out the Guild of Music Supervisors Award show. 'She was empowered with an incredible skill set to make great things happen, and she put those skills to work in the service of others to empower them and help them succeed,' Crowe said. 'Her legacy will continue inspire. She and Tom will more sorely missed.' While Kaye's reach in the business was wide, those successes she'd cultivated for others is most apparent with Idol, which had imparted her with more influence compared to the more typical music supervision assignment. Aside from the incredibly high number of clearances she had to get done for the show, while a more typical program selects songs merely to soundtrack a particular moment, on a singing contest, those clearances can decide an artist's career. 'If they get the right song, that can be the difference in having a career or not,' McHugh says. 'In a way, Robin's work was a gateway for nurturing artists' careers. Sometimes artists got 30 seconds, a minute to get a thumbs up or down, Robin was the kind of person that would always go to the wall and make sure that if that's the song that someone wanted, she would try to get there if she could.' Idol judge Randy Jackson said on Instagram this week that Kaye 'consistently went the extra mile, meticulously ensuring songs were placed and cleared for the show.' One of her more famous cases was securing Led Zeppelin's 'Whole Lotta Love' for Adam Lambert in 2009, a notable success given how notoriously protective Zeppelin is about permitting its music for use on film and TV. 'We always were talking about Led Zeppelin because everybody knew that we couldn't do Led Zeppelin,' Kaye recalled in an interview in 2009. 'I think Adam brought it up and I said, 'no, you can't do it.' When we started really seeing how talented Adam was, I had a feeling they would consider him. I couldn't have asked them just in general 'let us do it this year.' They wouldn't have said yes, but it made sense with Adam.' 'It's always worth asking,' Kaye continued. 'I never take a 'no' from anybody as a permanent 'no.' This business changes too much and situations change.' As Kaye's longtime friend Jacquie Perryman, a consultant for Paul McCartney's MPL Music Publishing, remembers: 'She was particularly good at advising artists and creatives. She could really help find music for the younger kids who maybe didn't know the older songs.' Perryman says Kaye was like a sister to her, adding that they first worked together in the '90s after she hired Kaye at PolyGram to build out the label's licensing department. Kaye, Perryman says, was 'completely respected and liked because she was an authentic person who didn't put on airs.' 'I screamed when I heard the news, it's so devastating,' she says. 'Robin and Tom were in the prime of their lives, they were lovely people who were good to everyone around them.' Both McHugh and Perryman emphasize that it was Kaye's unmatched relationships with music publishers that gave her an edge in the business. 'She could actually clear amazing songs for the show because her reputation and her relationships were parallel to none,' Perryman says. 'The business has a lot of egos, but she was able to work with everybody. She wasn't a self-promoter at all, she didn't make it about her. She just believed music supervision was a job that people should recognize and respect. And she loved artists, and she loved music.'

Savannah Bananas: A family night at baseball heaven in St. Louis
For me, there's no place on earth quite like Busch Stadium. It's sacred ground. A cathedral of baseball. The place where generations of memories have been made. I've seen alot here since I was born in 1982. But on Friday, the game we know and love transformed into something else entirely, not a traditional nine-inning showdown, but a whirlwind of Banana Ball madness, joy, and showmanship, courtesy of the Savannah Bananas. I went with my wife and our 14-year-old son, and while I've seen some unforgettable games at Busch, this was something unique, and yes, still unforgettable. Pre-Game: The greatest show in sports begins before first pitch The moment we approached Ballpark Village, the energy hit like a wave. Never mind the fact it was approaching 100 degrees, with humidity rising by the minute. Crowds had been gathering since early afternoon. Some were dressed in full banana regalia, earrings, hats, stuffed banana headbands, and yellow from head to toe. We arrived about three hours before first pitch, and it already felt like a festival. Fans were tossing around beach balls, forming impromptu conga lines, and dancing to the beat of a live brass band. We had dinner at Salt n Smoke at Ball Park Village across the way. That was a request from the teen-ager, and when he wants anything other than chicken fingers and burgers, you do it! We wandered over to the merchandise tents, which were doing a roaring business. Even Party Animals merch was flying off the racks. The pre-game antics were just the beginning: the "Man-nanas" cheer squad, Dad Bod cheerleaders, and even a guy resembling Mr. T were working the crowd. As the sun began to drop behind the stadium lights, a brass rendition of 'I Wish I Was an Oscar Mayer Wiener' played from a barbershop quartet perched near the first baseline. I had to remind myself we were still technically at a baseball game, but the Bananas don't just play a sport, they stage a carnival. The game itself: A new kind of baseball Banana Ball isn't really baseball. It's a cousin, or maybe the fun-loving alter ego, of the game I grew up watching. The rules are wild: bunting gets you ejected. Fans catching foul balls? That's an out. Tie games get settled in one-on-one, showdown-style duels. And somehow, it all works. The Bananas were matched up against their chaos-loving rivals, the Party Animals, and from the first pitch, the game was pure theater. Music blared between pitches. Dancers burst out of dugouts. Pitchers performed backflips after strikeouts. But through all the antics, there was genuine talent on the field. Outfielder Reese Alexiades smashed a moonshot into the left-field bleachers. Shortstop Ryan Cox pulled off a no-look, behind-the-back assist on a grounder that had the crowd gasping. And then came Adam Wainwright. A hero returns to the mound Waino. The legend. The heart of the Cardinals for so many years. When his name was announced as the starting pitcher for the Bananas, Busch erupted. I felt chills. Here I was, standing with my wife and son, watching one of my all-time favorite players, a St. Louis icon, take the mound in a Savannah Bananas jersey. Of course, his walk-out song? God's Country. He pitched with his usual poise, even while a cheerleader did jumping jacks behind home plate. He allowed a base hit, but got the next guy to fly out to center, mixing that signature curveball with just a hint of showmanship. He smiled at the crowd, tipped his cap, and soaked it in. Wainwright dancing between pitches? Yes. And it was glorious. At one point, he even joined a conga line in the dugout between innings. Who knew the man could move like that? In-game antics & fan interaction Banana Ball thrives on interactivity. Fans in the stands caught foul balls for outs. The in-game entertainment never slowed. There was a baby race on the field. Yes, a literal baby race. Crawling babies are making their way to their parents on the other side of the diamond. It was both hilarious and oddly touching. There was also a hilarious sprint showdown between 'Clyde and Dale', two grown men who stopped midway to carry women piggyback across the infield to the finish line. Get it, "Clyde and Dale" for the Clydesdales. Every inning brought something new: synchronized dugout dances, juggling, karaoke battles, and mid-inning backflips. The crowd and the culture shift This wasn't just a show for kids. It was packed with baseball die-hards, families, first-timers, and old-school fans like me who, surprisingly, found themselves clapping along to 'Baby Shark.' The Bananas are changing baseball, one backflip and fan-caught out at a time. Jesse Cole - a man of the people No review of a Savannah Bananas game would be complete without a tribute to the man behind the madness: Jeese Cole, the team's exuberant founder, owner, and master showman. If Banana Ball is a circus, Jesse is both the ringmaster and the heart beating behind the scenes. On Friday night at Busch Stadium, he was more than a behind-the-scenes executive; he was the engine driving the experience forward, every second from pregame to final curtain. Decked out in his signature bright yellow tuxedo and top hat, Jesse Cole didn't merely observe the spectacle he created; he was in the thick of it. He worked the crowd like a seasoned performer, leaping onto dugouts, dancing with fans, tossing t-shirts, and narrating the energy of the night through a megaphone with all the charisma of a Broadway emcee. At one point before first pitch, Jesse climbed onto the first base dugout, leading the crowd in chants, pumping his fists, and launching shirts into the upper decks. You could tell he wasn't just doing it for show, he thrives on connection, and he understands that sports, at their best, are about joy and community. You could feel it every time he leaned into the microphone or locked eyes with a fan in the front row. What stood out most was how accessible he made himself. He wasn't hidden behind a glass box or suite. He was walking the concourse, laughing with fans, taking selfies, giving fist bumps to wide-eyed kids and grateful parents alike. During one inning break, I watched him lead a conga line of fans, kids, grandparents, even a guy in a banana suit, from right field to home plate, arms linked, music blasting, smiles all around. When a particularly well-executed trick play brought the crowd to its feet, Jesse didn't stay still. He sprinted toward the players, joining the celebration like a teammate, high-fiving them like a proud parent. That blend of executive energy and childlike joy is part of what makes the Bananas feel so alive. And maybe that's Jesse Cole's magic: he doesn't feel like an owner. He feels like the world's biggest fan who just happened to get the keys to the clubhouse and decided to throw a never-ending party for everyone else. In an era when pro sports often feel cold and corporate, Jeese Cole is a throwback to the showmen of old and a vision of something brand new. What he's built isn't just a team or even a league; it's a movement. And at Busch Stadium, in front of 44,000 fans and the ghosts of baseball legends, that movement was in full, glorious, ridiculous swing. They're back tonight – Saturday's encore The Bananas return to Busch Stadium again Saturday night (also a sellout). After Friday's chaos, I can only imagine what's in store. If you're reading this and wondering if it's worth going, it is. Final thoughts: A night to remember In a city where baseball is religion, the Savannah Bananas delivered something new, not a sacrilege, but a celebration. For a few hours, Busch Stadium was transformed from a major league park into a playground of joy, where Adam Wainwright danced, babies raced, and baseball's soul felt lighter. The Bananas didn't just win the game. They won us and 44,000 other fans over.
