Jamie Foxx has made a remarkable comeback in the entertainment industry just over two months after experiencing a medical emergency. The 55-year-old star takes on the role of the Ferryman in the action-packed movie “God Is a Bullet,” directed by Nick Cassavetes. The film is based on the 1999 novel by Boston Teran and features an impressive cast including Maika Monroe and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. Cassavetes, known for directing films like “The Notebook” (2004) and “My Sister’s Keeper” (2009), helms this thrilling production.
“God Is a Bullet” follows the story of detective Bob Hightower, portrayed by Coster-Waldau, who embarks on a mission to find his ex-wife’s killer and rescue his kidnapped daughter from a satanic cult. Determined to seek justice, Hightower leaves the police force, adopts a new identity with tattoos, and infiltrates the cult with the help of Case Hardin (Monroe), the sole female escapee. As they navigate the treacherous world of the cult, Hightower’s pursuit of the charismatic leader, Cyrus, leads him down a dark path while Case seizes the opportunity to reclaim her own power.
Nick Cassavetes, who has been passionate about bringing this gripping story to the screen for over 18 years, describes “God Is a Bullet” as a unique and intense film that fearlessly explores complex characters and themes. With its unapologetic rawness and unrelenting action, the movie promises to captivate audiences with its distinctive storytelling.
Despite his recent medical emergency, Jamie Foxx has not let it slow him down. In addition to “God Is a Bullet,” he has several other exciting projects in the pipeline. “They Cloned Tyrone,” a film in which Foxx stars alongside John Boyega and Teyonah Parris, is set to premiere on Netflix on July 21. Moreover, Foxx lends his voice to the character of Bug, a dog, alongside Will Ferrell in the R-rated comedy “Strays,” hitting theaters on August 18.
Foxx’s return to the big screen has been met with great anticipation and support. Fans eagerly await the release of his upcoming films, celebrating his resilience and talent. After his medical complication in April, Foxx’s daughter, Corinne, expressed gratitude for the swift action and excellent care that led to his recovery. Foxx himself took to social media on May 3, expressing appreciation for all the love and blessings he has received during this time.
