Foxx joins Downey Jr for comedy movie
Jamie Foxx has joined the cast of 'Due Date'.
The singer-and-actor is teaming up with his 'Soloist' co-star Robert Downey Jr for the comedy, which also stars Michelle Monaghan and Zach Galifianakis.
The movie sees Robert's character rushing back to the side of his wife, played by Michelle, as she prepares to give birth. Jamie is to star as an old friend of Robert's who used to date Michelle and secretly keeps in touch with her.
Zach appears as an annoying college slacker who helps Robert by driving him back home when he is left with no other way of getting back.
Todd Phillips is directing the movie, with shooting due to begin later this month in Atlanda, Los Angeles and New Mexico.
It is scheduled for release next year.
