Jamie Foxx to Play God Opposite Mickey Rourke as the Devil in NOT ANOTHER CHURCH MOVIE
Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx (Ray, Spider-Man: No Way Home) is set to play God in the film Not Another Church Movie, opposite Academy Award nominee Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler, Iron Man 2), who will play the Devil. The comedy comes from writer-director Johnny Mack (Wild ‘N Out), who helms alongside James Michael Cummings.
The film was shot prior to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes and is eyeing a theatrical release, and is looking at a fall/winter release this year. Kevin Daniels leads the ensemble, with Vivica A. Fox, Tisha Campbell, Jasmine Guy, Kyla Pratt and Lamorne Morris rounding it out.
The film is billed as “a wild ride through the fabulous world of Taylor Pharry (Daniels), an ambitious young man given a holy mission from God himself: to tell his family’s stories and inspire his community. His only concern? His family and community. What he doesn’t know is that the Devil has plans of his own.”
Producer James Michael Cummings said in a statement: “We are thrilled to have Mr. Foxx be a part of this hilarious comedy and bring his incredible talent to the role of God, working with Foxx and Johnny Mack was a true blessing. 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. This movie will not disappoint.”
Producer Valerie McCaffrey added: “The name talent that has come together for this fun comedy is unprecedented. You see all the actors having fun, especially Foxx playing God.”
