Jamie Foxx is in talks to add a little menace to Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver.

Having already snared his leads in Ansel Elgort (The Fault in Our Stars) and Lily James (Cinderella), Foxx (Ray) is being pencilled in to play a crime boss who coerces the titular Driver – a talented getaway driver who uses his personal soundtrack to be the best in the business - to work for him but when a heist goes wrong, this crime boss will want more than just our heroes playlist.

The script for Baby Driver has been in development for numerous years while Wright (Scott Pilgrim Vs The World) worked on other projects. He’s now gearing up to direct for Working Title, MRC and Sony’s TriStar, with the latter company handling distribution. The film should be in cinemas in March 2017.
