Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones team up to battle corporate corruption in the new trailer for Prime Video’s The Burial.
The blockbuster is based on true events which were chronicled in a 1999 The New Yorker article by Jonathan Harr and follows a legal case between a massive corporation and a funeral business.
“When a handshake deal goes sour, funeral homeowner Jeremiah O’Keefe (Jones) enlists charismatic, smooth-talking attorney Willie E. Gary (Foxx) to save his family business,” the official synopsis for the movie reads.
“Tempers flare and laughter ensues as the unlikely pair bond while exposing corporate corruption and racial injustice in this inspirational, triumphant story,” it continues.

What do Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones have to say about The Burial?

“I had a lot of fun working with Jamie,” Jones said. “He’s fun to be around, and every work day was highly energized. We did a lot of laughing and some pretty good work got done, too.”
“When the artistic stars line up and certain people step into a role, it usually turns out really, really good,” Foxx added before mentioning commending Jone’s performance. “He’s so special for the part.”
The Burial premieres in cinemas on October 6 before being released on Prime Video on October 13.
