Atlas Entertainment has announced that Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx (Django Unchained, Horrible Bosses) has joined Noam Murro’s Blink. The Black List script was written by Hernany Perla. Production is slated to begin this fall, with Atlas Entertainment’s William Green and Aaron Ginsburg producing and Atlas’ Jake Kurily serving as an executive producer.
