would you watch a movie with Jamie Foxx playing a tow truck driver? Of course. How about if Robert Downey was in it? Certainly. Driving a 1968 Firebird? Damn right

What if RD was playing a Mexican? During a July 2017 podcast interview on The Joe Rogan Experience (yup), Foxx revealed that Downey would be playing ‘a Mexican’ in the film. He reiterated this detail the next year during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

October 2016, Deadline reported that Eva Longoria and Jeremy Piven had signed on to star in All-Star Weekend

This is the first report of the film on the site. The article noted that production began on the day the piece was published — October 26 — and that the movie would feature cameos from Snoop Dogg, The Game, DJ Khaled, and Floyd Mayweather Jr. 

The comedy centers on two tow-truck drivers, Malik (Foxx), and Danny (Piven), who are basketball fanatics and would take a bullet for their respective favorite players, LeBron James and Steph Curry. Danny’s girlfriend Abby (Szohr) is reconsidering the relationship as she does not want to take a back seat to his obsession. The two drivers finally get a break from their dead-end job when they win tickets to the NBA All-Star Game. En route to the big game, Malik and Danny meet the beautiful and mysterious Asia (Longoria), who might have her own hidden agenda. After many twists and turns, the guys find themselves and their heroes in a precarious life-or-death situation.

The cast only got more impressive, with the likes of Gerard Butler, Benicio del Toro, French Montana, DJ Khaled, and The Game being added. 

Oh, Foxx also told Rogan that he would be playing two extra characters, one of whom is a ‘white racist cop’ and the other who is the fictional twin brother of ESPN host Stephen A. Smith. Also, Gerard Butler is apparently playing a gymnastics-obsessed Russian

there is this https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2461172/ on IMDB, and I expect the movie was scrapped because of cancel culture. I think that's a mistake. I bet people would love to see a movie with all these stars.
