The actor Jamie Foxx has just been added to the distribution of the comedy Horrible Bosses which will be produced for New Line Cinema.

The project, carried out by Seth Gordon (who directed Four Christmases), will follow three friends, frustrated by their employment, which comes to the conclusion that the only solution with their misfortune is to remove the boss of the one and the other.

Charlie Day (Going the Distance) and Jason Bateman (Up in the Air, The Invention of Lying) will play the part of two friends whereas Colin Farrell (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Cassandra’s Dream, Miami Vice) and Jennifer Aniston (The Bounty Hunter, He’s Just Not That Into You, Marley and Me) are in negotiations to play the part of two of the three bosses.

Foxx will play the part of a swindler called Motherfucker Jones which will give councils on how to kill with the three friends. The nickname of the character could change according to sources quoted by Hollywood Reporter.

Francis John Daley and Jonathan Goldstein wrote the most recent version of the scenario according to an outline of Michael Markowitz.

Brett Ratner and Jay Stern produce the project via Rat Entertainment.

Foxx, which was recently seen in the romantic comedy Valentine’s Day could also be seen on November 5th in the comedy Due Date at the sides to Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. He was also recently recruited to play with Bruce Willis in the film adaptation of the video game Kane & Lynch.

The American actor, stand-up comedian, and R&B singer Jamie Foxx (recently seen in Valentine’s Day, Law Abiding Citizen, The Soloist, The Kingdom, Miami Vice and Collateral), and 20th Century Fox Animation will make team to work on the new animation movie Welcome to the Jungle inspired by an original history written by the scenario writer Malcolm Spellman (who also wrote the scenario for Our Family Wedding).

Jamie Foxx will make his first incursion into the world of animation films. He will lend his voice to one of the characters in the movie in addition to producing the project in partnership with Jamie Rucker King, his manager and partner within the company FoxxKing Entertainment. Foxx, which is also an artist R&B member who won a Grammy, will write the original music for the project.

The details of the scenario remain secret for the moment. The only evidence left by Malcolm Spellman and his team is the sentence: The life is a jungle, welcome in it.

Foxx could be seen on the big screen next November in the comedy Due Date directed by Todd Phillips. Note that Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis also play in that motion picture.
