Do you remember when Jamie Foxx was a regular on “In Living Color”? The show ran on the Fox Network in the early nineties and produced some huge stars such as Foxx, Jim Carrey, and Jennifer Lopez. Now, the Oscar winner is returning to his comedic roots with a new sketch series.
Over the past decade so many TV shows have been adapted to the big screen that no property is safe. In this case, “Laverne & Shirley,” the popular Garry Marshall sitcom that starred Cindy Williams and his sister Penny Marshall is the next victim of this creative crime. Oscar winner Jamie Foxx is set to write the screenplay and will bring the duo to the big screen with the help of his Valentine’s Day co-stars Jennifer Garner and Jessica Biel.
Ugh, I’m getting flashbacks to 2006′s Miami Vice with this latest casting news. Oscar winner Jamie Foxx has been tapped to co-star in the live action adaptation of Kane & Lynch. The popular video game from Eidos Entertainment entitled, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Rumors have been swirling for months as to who would play the dangerous duo and screenwriter Kyle Ward just let one of the cats out of the bag.
For those who often wonder what a battle of wits between Ray Charles and King Leonidas might be like, Law Abiding Citizen is as close as you’re going to get. Actually, that premise might have been a better idea for a film than the bloody revenge thriller we get served up here. This violent psychological thriller, that has a bone to pick with the justice system, never really finds it way. It’s just a jumbled story pushed and pulled along by the guys who fared much better as a Spartan warrior and a musical genius.
Check out the review…
Two new posters have been released for this weekend’s Law Abiding Citizen. The film stars Oscar winner Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler as two men on the opposite sides of the law. The thriller is directed by F. Gary Gray, and features Butler as a man consumed by revenge after his wife and daughter are killed in their home. Fox stars as a district attorney who double crosses him, and ends up on his sh*t list.

A new clip has been released from F.Gary Gray‘s upcoming thriller, Law Abiding Citizen. It stars Gerard Butler and Oscar winner Jamie Foxx as two men on the opposite sides of the law, who’ve both been corrupted by the legal system. In the following clip, we get to see Foxx and Butler going at it, and as usual I can’t help but hear someone’s Scottish accent vaguely making an appearance during the scene.
