After Jason Statham stepped away from the Kevin Hart action comedy _The Man From Toronto_ last week, a story that Deadline first reported, Woody Harrelson is now boarding, we can confirm.


Filming begins in five weeks with an eye on a November 20 opening. Patrick Hughes is directing the film written by Robbie Fox, from a story by Fox and Jason Blumenthal, while Escape Artists’


(_The Equalizer_ franchise, _The Upside_) Oscar nominee Todd Black, Blumenthal and Oscar winner Steve Tisch are producing. Bill Bannerman is executive producing. The plot: What happens when


the world’s deadliest assassin, known as “The Man from Toronto,” and Teddy, New York’s biggest screw-up, are mistaken for each other in a rented Airbnb? The Man from Toronto and Teddy are


forced to team up and save the day, but the real question is, will they survive each other? Harrelson recently starred in Sony Pictures’ _Zombieland Double Tap_ and will next be seen in the


studio’s sequel to _Venom_ starring Tom Hardy. WATCH ON DEADLINE
