Netflix released a promo video for their 2022 movie slate today, and you can check it out in the embed above. One of the movies previewed in that video is Day Shift, a vampire action movie starring Jamie Foxx (Spider-Man: No Way Home) – and that’s not the only bit of promotion the streaming service did for Day Shift this morning. They also unveiled an official image from the film, which you can see right here:
Day Shift marks the feature directorial debut of stunt coordinator and second unit director J.J. Perry. This is the first produced screenplay for Tyler Tice, whose script received some polishing from Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapter 3, Army of the Dead). The story centers on Foxx’s character,
a hard-working, blue-collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted daughter. His mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income, hunting and killing vampires as part of an international union of vampire hunters.
Foxx is joined in the cast by Snoop Dogg (Bones), Scott Adkins (Accident Man), Dave Franco (The Disaster Artist), Meagan Good (Monster Hunter), Karla Souza (How to Get Away with Murder), Eric Lange (Narcos), Zion Broadnax (Holly Day), Natasha Liu Bordizzo (The Society), Oliver Masucci (The Swarm), Steve Howey (Shameless), and C.S. Lee (Dexter).
John Wick franchise director Chad Stahelski is producing the movie with Jason Spitz for 87Eleven Entertainment, alongside Shaun Redick and Yvette Yates Redick of Impossible Dream Entertainment. Foxx, Datari Turner, and Peter Baxter are executive producers.
Day Shift sounds interesting to me and has a lot of strong talent involved, so I’ll definitely be checking this out whenever it reaches Netflix. A release date has not yet been announced.
