Jamie Foxx Joins 'The Hangover' Team


So... I haven't seen Jamie Foxx in a comedy since probably Booty Call.  (And it hurt my brain)

So I can see why he would be so eager to join up with The Soloist co-star, Robert Downey Jr. once again, but in a comedy role instead of a dramatical one.  According to Foxx, he is teaming up The Hangover director, Todd Phillips to film a flick called, Due Date.  

Foxx gave praise for Phillips and called him "The funniest guy in the world..."

This film will reunite Phillips with The Hangover's Zach Galifianakis to tell a story a father-to-be (Downey Jr.)  who is forced to hitch a ride with a complete slacker (Galifianakis) in order to make his child's birth on time.  Of course, we can predict chaos in this little journey to the delivery room, which will explain Foxx's character, a former lover of his buddy's wife and mommy-to-be (Michelle Monaghan) whom he can't get over.  

"Robert Downey Jr. is this guy and his wife is about to have a kid, "Foxx explained to MTV, "I knewhis wife back in the day and we had a little thing, but he doesn't know about it- and I don't know whether to tell him about it.... it's just this funny road trip." 

The film is said to being shooting soon, but if you want your fill of Foxx before then, you can see him starring in Law Abiding Citizen opposite Gerard Butler which came out in theaters this past weekend.
