A new movie titled after the 6ix has just been announced, but details are still tightly under wraps.
The action-comedy, called Man From Toronto, will star American comedian-actor Kevin Hart and English actor Jason Statham. It is due from Sony studios and Columbia Pictures later this year.
Hey @KevinHart4real. People from the 6ix would like to know what Man From Toronto is about. Are you and Jason Statham remaking a 1933 rom-com? Will there be Drake and Weeknd cameos? Who is the Man from Toronto? pic.twitter.com/ObJ2zaCPWS

There is no word on the forthcoming feature film's connection to the 1926 Broadway production or the 1993 British romantic comedy of the same name, in which two strangers — one from Toronto and one from England — find themselves the recipients of a million-dollar inheritance if they agree to wed (of course, they end up actually falling in love).
A straight-up remake of The Man from Toronto starring those two would definitely be interesting...

Ok, not "straight" up I guess.
Maybe Hart and Statham will have a whirlwind love affair and get married — and rich — in the end? Who knows.
The duo are known friends and have worked together in the past, like in last year's Fast & Furious project Hobbs & Shaw.
Not even Toronto thanksgiving.

The new movie's release is currently set for November 20, which has been advertised as "just in time for Thanksgiving";¸American Thanksgiving, that is.
