Jamie Foxx is blaming cancel culture for the film "All-Star Weekend" being shelved which was set to star himself alongside Jeremy Piven in addition to other marquee names such as Robert Downey Jr., Benicio del Toro, Gerard Butler and Eva Longoria. According to the New York Post:
"“All-Star Weekend,” a movie about two NBA-obsessed friends in Indiana. Piven’s character is Steph Curry’s biggest fan, while Foxx’s worships LeBron James. The pair win tickets to the NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles and on their way out west, they run into a cast of wacky characters and find themselves in a dangerous situation with their hoop idols."
Last week, Foxx spoke about the film not being released and how the current social climate plays a major role in that reality. “It’s been tough with the lay of the land when it comes to comedy,” he told CinemaBlend. “We’re trying to break open the sensitive corners where people go back to laughing again.”
