Not Another Church Movie centers on an ambitious young man Taylor Pharry (Kevin Daniels), who’s been given a holy mission from God to inspire his community by telling his family’s stories. After embarking on this mission, he comes to learn that the Devil (Rourke) has a plan of his own.

James Michael Cummings, who serves as one of the film’s producers, said it’s a true blessing to welcome the talent of Foxx’s caliber on board.

“We are thrilled to have Mr. Foxx be a part of this hilarious comedy and bring his incredible talent to the role of God. This film is a unique blend of new and established talent, and we can’t wait to hear the laughs and for audiences to see the magic that happens on the big screen,” said Cummings in a statement to Deadline.

Vivica A. Fox, Tisha Campbell, Jasmine Guy, Kyla Pratt, and Lamorne Morris also star in Not Another Church Movie, while Johnny Mack will be in charge of directing it.

According to the film’s official logline, “Jamie Foxx stars as a hard-working blue-collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted daughter, but his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income, hunting and killing vampires as part of an international Union of vampire hunters.”

The first trailer reveals that Foxx’s character accepts this side hustle because he must earn some quick cash to stop his wife and daughter from moving to Florida. In addition to Foxx, Day Shift also stars Dave Franco, Meagan Good, Karla Souza, Steve Howey, Scott Adkins, and Snoop Dogg.

This horror action-comedy will premiere on Netflix on August 12, and it’s the latest in the long line of Foxx’s collaborations with the streamer. He starred in sci-fi action film Project Power in 2020, sitcom Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! in 2021, and is set to reunite with Netflix for the upcoming film Back in Action, also starring Cameron Diaz.

The plot details about this aptly named movie are being kept under wraps, but it will be directed by Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses), who co-wrote the script with Brendan O’Brien (Neighbors). Foxx will executive produce the film alongside O’Brien and Datari Turner.

Foxx and Diaz previously co-starred in Annie, the last film she appeared in before taking a break from acting in 2014. She played lead roles in comedies The Other Woman and Sex Tape that same year and officially announced her retirement in 2018.

“It’s so intense to work at that level and be that public and put yourself out there. There’s a lot of energy coming at you at all times when you’re really visible as an actor… I do get the overwhelming energy of the attention that’s being put toward me,” Diaz told Gwyneth Paltrow in 2021.

Following her retirement, Diaz had a cameo in Elizabeth Banks’ rendition of Charlie’s Angels and appeared as a guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Diaz said she’s “so excited” yet “anxious” about her un-retirement, but we’re happy to finally see that she’s back!

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Foxx is in final talks to reprise his role in the next installment of Spider-Man. The movie is produced by Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures and is set for a November 5th, 2021 release (although we may expect delays, of course).

The yet-untitled movie will see  Tom Holland coming back to the role of Spider-man as well as most of the supporting cast such as Zendaya, Marisa Tomei, Jacob Batalon, and Tony Revolori returning to the project. Homecoming and Far from Home director Jon Watts is also helming this movie. Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal are producing.

The idea of merging the current run of Spider-Man movies with the former versions by having actors reprise their roles is not new. The last movie, Far From Home, brought J.K. Simmons back to the role of J. Jonah Jameson, a part he also played in the Toby Maguire’ Spider-Man trilogy. The move was applauded by the fans.

The Oscar-winning actor co-wrote the script with Donald Ray “Speedy” Caldwell and this film will be Foxx’s second time directing a film—his first was All-Star Weekend.

When We Pray tells the story of two brothers who are pastors at different churches in the same community. One of the brother’s churches is a high-tech congregation that has digital devices and ATMs, while the other brother’s church is much more humble and he suffers financially to keep it running.

Production is set to start before the end of the year.

Foxx’s most recent Hollywood credit is starring in Just Mercy with Michael B. Jordan and Brie Larson. His next role will be in Disney/Pixar’s first Black character-led animation film, Soul, which will be released on June 19.

This star-studded comedy festival will take place between April 27th and May 3rd, and it’s expected to feature 100 live shows and events, taking place at various venues across L.A.

The list of participants includes the likes of Ali Wong, Amy Schumer, Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, David Letterman, Jamie Foxx, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Hart, and many more.

Recorded shows will be available on Netflix later this year, and their chief content officer Ted Sarandos said they’re honored to transform Los Angeles into the funniest place on the planet for one week.

“It’s a chance for comedy lovers to come together and see their favorite artists as well as discover new ones, and for us to be able to share the electricity and excitement of the festival in Los Angeles with Netflix members around the world,” said Sarandos in a statement.

“In Just Mercy, Jamie Foxx gives a moving and truly remarkable performance as Walter McMillian, a man sentenced to death for a murder, for which he was wrongly convicted,” festival chairman Harold Matzner said. “This is an inspiring drama that brings an important story about how our justice system can fail to the big screen. It is a story that audiences should see. It is our honor to present the spotlight award, actor to Jamie Foxx.”

Foxx joins past laureates of the award including Timothée Chalamet, Bryan Cranston, Andrew Garfield, Sam Rockwell, and J.K. Simmons. 

The Palm Springs Festival runs from January 2 to January 13.

Mel Gibson is set to direct from his own script, co-written with Bryan Bagby. He will also executive produce the movie. Jerry Bruckheimer is attached to produce. 

The remake of the 1969 Sam Peckinpah Western will retell the story of aging outlaws trying to live out the final days of the Wild West. The original starred William Holden and Ernest Borgnine and was nominated for Oscars for original screenplay and score.

The remake will be the first time Gibson steps behind the camera since Hacksaw Ridge in 2016, which won two Oscars and received four other nominations including Best Picture and Best Director.
