Kevin Hart spotted filming new Netflix movie in Derry

US actor and comedian Kevin Hart and the crew of heist comedy Lift are currently filming scenes at Shackleton airfield, Ballykelly.

Netflix and HartBeat Productions descended upon the village within the last 48 hours.

The Netflix feature is directed by Straight Outta Compton’s F. Gary Gray, working from a screenplay by Dan Kunka.

Hart plays a master thief who is wooed by his ex-girlfriend and the FBI to pull off an impossible heist with his international crew on a 777 flying from London to Zurich.

The feature is part of a creative partnership deal that 42-year old Hart signed with the streaming giant just over a year ago, for his production company to produce four movies exclusively for Netflix.

The multi-millionaire comedian is also listed as a producer for the film.

Another project made under the agreement is Me Time with Mark Wahlberg, Hart and Regina Hall, which is now in post.

Meanwhile, Hart was recently spotted on the streets of Belfast filming for his new movie.

One of the highest-earning stand-up comedians in history by Forbes, Kevin Hart's most recent global comedy tour sold out over 100 arenas around the world, and sold over one million tickets worldwide in 2018 during his "Irresponsible Tour".

Two weeks ago, the American stand-up comedian surprised comedy fans when he took to the stage in Lavery's Comedy Club.

The globally acclaimed star appeared at Lavery's on March 18 ahead of an intimate Limelight show on the following night.
