Kevin Hart and Ice Cube Hop on for Another ‘Ride Along’

Posted on Tuesday, February 18th, 2014 by Angie Han

Universal was so confident in the buddy cop comedy Ride Along that it put the sequel in development way back in April — nine months before the first film was even scheduled to premiere. Now that the movie has actually gone on to set a January opening record, it looks like their faith is paying off.

The studio has set Ride Along director Tim Story to return for the sequel, and is working on deals with stars Ice Cube and Kevin Hart to reprise their roles. Also coming back are producers Will Packer and Matt Alvarez, and writers Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi. More details on the next installment after the jump.
