Jamie Foxx Is Playing ‘God’ In First Movie Deal Announced Since Recovering From Health Incident

The legendary Jamie Foxx will play the heavenly counterpart to Mickey Rourke’s Devil in the upcoming comedy Not Another Church Movie, due out later this year. The film follows Kevin Daniels as Taylor, a mortal man “given a mission from God Himself: to tell his family’s stories and inspire his community,” per an official logline.  “What he doesn’t know is that the Devil has plans of his own.” Foxx has since confirmed he is feeling like himself again and able to work after his medical emergency that he called “an unexpected dark journey.” Foxx will join a list of talented actors who have taken on portraying God on screen, including Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty, George Burns in Oh, God!, and Steve Buscemi on Miracle workers.
