On the heels of the news that Jamie Foxx will return as Electro for the still untitled Spider-Man 3, we have details on the Academy Award-winner's fangtastic (sorry) next project.
Deadline reports that Foxx has signed on to star in a new Netflix movie called Day Shift. His character is described as "a hard-working blue-collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted 8-year old daughter, but his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income, hunting and killing vampires."
The film will be helmed by first-time feature director JJ Perry, who has previously served as second unit director and stunt coordinator on Fast & Furious 9, The Fate of the Furious, Bloodshot, and the John Wick movies.
Chad Stahelski (John Wick) and Jason Spitz are producing for 87Eleven Entertainment along with Shaun Redick (BlackKklansman) and Yvette Yates Redick (Malicious) for Impossible Dream Entertainment.
Tyler Tice wrote the original script, which won the Slamdance Writing Competition Grand Prize back in 2017. Revisions by Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapter 3, John Wick: Chapter 4, Army of the Dead) are currently underway.
