Day Shift, a vampire action movie starring Jamie Foxx (Spider-Man: No Way Home) is coming to the Netflix streaming service on August 12th, and this week the Motion Picture Association ratings board has announced that Day Shift has earned an R rating for “strong violence and gore, and language“. Sounds like a good time to me. A trailer hasn’t been released for Day Shift yet, but you can get a glimpse of the movie in the Netflix promo embedded above.
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.
Due to the talent in front of and behind the camera on this one, I’m totally on board to watch Day Shift when it reaches Netflix in August. Bring on the violent, gory vampire slaying action!
