There is a new Tim Story movie in the works and it's going to be an interesting collaboration between two African-American actors, Jamie Foxx and Kevin Hart. Both are currently in talks to star in the upcoming “Black Phantom,” a movie that the “Ride Along” director is expected to helm.

Variety claims that the plot of the movie is going to revolve around a hitman who enlists the help of the notorious Black Phantom, a mysterious character who turns out to be the same killer that was sent to finish him off.

If you're wondering which of the two actors is going to play the Black Phantom, you're going to have to wonder for a little longer because, at the moment, the casting process is still in its early stages and talks haven't been finalized to see who plays what.

Also, there is wide speculation that the movie is going to be a comedy, something which isn't all that hard to believe, when you take into consideration that Kevin Hart is a comedian by nature and Foxx too has done his fair share of comedic work.

For Hart and director Tim Story, this isn't the first time they will be working together, as they already have one project in common, the hit comedy “Ride Along” which has already been picked up for a sequel, and has the potential to be turned into a trilogy.
