Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston are taking the heartwarming to the next level with their upcoming film 'The Upside' - at least that's what we gather from the trailer. Directed by Neil Burger and written by Jon Hartmere, the trailer shows an emotional and inspiring story with lots of wholesome comedy.

Inspired by the true story of Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, it is a remake of the French 2011 film 'The Intouchables.' The film follows a recently paroled ex-convict Dell Scott (Kevin Hart) who has 24 hours to get a job or he can bid his freedom goodbye. He runs into Nicole, who offers him an opportunity - of taking care of a paralyzed billionaire named Phillip Lacasse (Bryan Cranston). The two find an unlikely and unusual friend in each other and the film tells the story of their journey together.
