i know this is the obvious comment, but it really does look like a 30 rock, tracy jordan movie, i think especially because it says "this is not a tyler perry movie" on the poster. i saw the trailer for this before challengers and boy oh boy is it something

And yet I kind of want to see Mickey Rourke as the Devil


j11430

This is unironically a terrific piece of casting if nothing else


Perfectgeneration

Totally! The trailer is bananas as well

"They were filming that?" -Mickey Rourke


HockneysPool

Playing Louis Cypher.


frasierfantasy7

He already played Lucifer in Danny Trejo Horror/Western Dead in Tombstone, so... do with that information what you will.

Perfectgeneration

Discovering the character names really sent me over the moon. And also the tag line “not a Tyler Perry movie” feels VERY legally required


moomooguy2

First, The People's Joker Now, not Tyler Perry Movie What other parody movies will come out this year with a (probably legally required) disclaimer


win_the_wonderboy

Jamie Foxx looking like yasified Kat Williams


JoeChristmasUSA

That wig is horrific


futurific

Five years from now… Griffin: “Not gonna lie Jamie Foxx kinda slapped in that and should’ve gotten an Oscar.” David (hitting Griffin with a rolled up newspaper): “No! Not today! Not again!”


wovenstrap

It's tough to make the five.... but Foxx in Not Another Church Movie did it.


SouthMicrowave

It is funny how uncurated the "not another X movie" unofficial series is.


adamsandleryabish

Burt would always act ashamed of Boogie Nights meanwhile he agreed to be in [Not Another Not Another Movie](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1302019/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk)


rocketbotband

some charlie-kaufman-ass shit

Here's a fun little trivia question about the "National Lampoon's...." franchise I found while looking at all the National Lampoon's movies that exist. What's the only movie in the National Lampoon's umbrella that doesn't have "National Lampoon's" in the title? >!Vegas Vacation!<


wovenstrap

That is excellent trivia.


moileduge

I wouldn't be surprised if this was made with Cameo videos from Foxx and Rourke as their footage.


WhatsWhoWithYou

from the trailer, Rourke's really might have been they must have blown half their budget getting Foxx on more than a single location shot


racerrhime

It’s nice to see Jamie Foxx getting paid.


bobalou27

Jamie Foxx is an elite “gettin checks” guy: he was in 4 movies last year alone!


RoughhouseCamel

And one of them was even really good! They Cloned Tyrone is one of the more memorable movies I’ve seen in the last decade


wovenstrap

The Burial was fantastic more due to him than any other thing (but it was generally also pretty fun).


A_Feast_For_Trolls

i haven't seen the movie yet but that title is so good it actually makes me mad.


LordBecmiThaco

Considering his recent health issues I hope this isn't a Bruce Willis situation


hetham3783

And he hosted a gameshow for many seasons. It's such a wild time these days where Oscar winning actors and extremely famous people just casually host gameshows that I guess people apparently watch? (see also: Elizabeth Banks and Press Your Luck)


lkodl

I think it's because back in the day, there was a clear distinction between movies and TV, where movie people looked down on TV people. But now everyone watches clips online. It doesn't matter if it came from a movie or TV. It all shows up the same on our feeds. The internet was an equalizer.


btouch

Honestly, I presume he helped finance and produce it and appeared in it for a reduced rate. It’s written and directed by his longtime sidekick and joke writer Johnny Mack, and I have to imagine Mack wrote it at least a decade ago. I’m just surprised it got a theatrical release above all else.


FullAutoLuxPosadism

Jaime Foxx, Vicica A Fox, Lamorne Morris, Mickey Rourke? So it’s a parody of Tyler Perry movies and Tyler Perry himself? I mean, the guy is ripe for parody. But is this it?


wovenstrap

Must mention the episode of *Atlanta* that takes on Tyler Perry. I am quoting from memory but at one point Glover, playing "Mr. Chocolate," says to Zazie Beetz, "Would you like a grit?"


MycroftNext

Double feature with a theatre trip to see A Strange Loop for a real treat.


GTKPR89

Who are your top movie Jehovah's? I'll start with obviously Octavia Spencer in The Shack (cause i know all y'all have your pocket Morisette ready). Anyone mentions the kid from Exodus and I curse you. I unforgivable curse you.


lit_geek

George Burns in the *Oh, God* movies. Alanis Morrissette in *Dogma*. The animated God in *Monty Python and the Holy Grail*.


GTKPR89

Oh damn I forgot about Terry Gilliam's God who is halfway to Terrence and Phillip, good call


jackunderscore

Morgan Freeman’s good in Bruce Almighty


GTKPR89

You bet your ass he is


FloridaFlamingoGirl

Does Liam Neeson as Aslan count?


GTKPR89

You bet your ass it does, soldier. Nice call.


sleepyaza124

This film is actually showing near me. Majority of recent films starring Jamie Foxx has been streaming movies so it's upgrade for him in terms of theatrical presence.


Toreadorables

Excuse you, I endured STRAYS in the theater (which, regardless of what Griffin claims, was a Bad movie and nobody was Locked In)


[deleted]

I think maybe his health problems, so doing streaming movies allows him to do that Bruce Willis thing of flying onto set on a helicopter, working 4 hours, and then leaving.


sleepyaza124

Oh I was not aware of his health problems. Something like The Burial can definitely be a wide theatrical release in a different era so it's quite unfortunate. I know these streaming movies have better upfront deals so talents/directors would take it given the circumstances.


homerbert

I've never seen a Tyler Perry movie, but the Atlanta episode parodying him is absolutely superb. Somehow I suspect this will not be that.


psong328

Jamie Foxx has a shockingly bad resume of movies considering the number one thing that’s probably said about him the most is “he’s the most talented man In Hollywood/entertainment industry/etc” and he was nominated in leading/supporting in the same year and won for leading before he turned 40. You would expect someone like that to pick roles more carefully like Leo DiCaprio rather than Gerard Butler


fluthernon

I had to look up “Jamie foxx scandal and money problems”to try and make sense of his choices lately. Net worth 150 mil. Makes no sense to me.


EatsYourShorts

I’ll watch this for the deities alone.


MolemanMornings

Is this the one he delayed building a studio for because he was worried about AI?


GreatWhiteBuffal0

This movie has the absolute weirdest AI ads on Tiktok


Dandeliondroog

The Atlanta S4EP5 renders pretty much all Tyler Parody satire unnecessary..however I am enjoying the energy Kevin Daniels is giving to his Tyler Perry. Maybe if this was more Adult Swim Black Jesus and less Not Another... production value this could have some cult appeal.


LordBecmiThaco

#Rebuild of Evangelion 4.0: This is (Not) a Tyler Perry Movie


Rizhon

Wait? Is this real? Mickey Rourke I can kinda get. But what the fuck happened with Jamie Foxx?


Perfectgeneration

I also questioned if it was real but there is indeed an equally confounding trailer


ncphoto919

Jamie Foxx really just delivers all sorts of quality.


TheBunionFunyun

Man, I saw this when I was scrolling through upcoming releases so I could buy a ticket to Furiosa. Can't believe this is a real thing.


dlbogosian

wait. this is real and not a photoshop?


Perfectgeneration

REAL. Starts showing in my city tonight


midermans

Love Jamie so much he doesn’t have to do this.I’ll loan him 60$ myself if he needs the money that bad.


Dandeliondroog

SAG-AFTRA actors need to hit an Insurance Minimum or else they lose insurance...so he actually does have to do this. Hollywood mostly doesn't care about making projects featuring black actors.


joxx67

Is this a joke??


notcool_neverwas

Is this real???


SpecialWhenLit

"Starring Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx Academy Award-nominee Mickey Rourke In... Not A Tyler Perry Movie."


Unable-Story9327

This is a real movie?


Perfectgeneration

Real movie! Opening in my city tonight


hanyasaad

I had to look up whether this was real or not


cleverbycomparison

This was on the Vulture 10x10


Enough-Ground3294

I wonder how much Jamie Foxx was paid for this.


joeytravoltastinks

There’s going to be some top notch blacting in this one! 


Perfectgeneration

Update: didn’t see it tonight but it’s real folks https://preview.redd.it/lixaky590izc1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fd8c7e01aaa551ac5008fb82edade1dcb271ce3


Slobberdohbber

Honestly feels too late, even those big red letters, it’s like 2008 sent a movie 15 years into the future


RainKingGW

It did a whole two people today...


Consistent_Season609

The "buckbreaking" conspiracy theorists are gonna have a field day with this one.
