Jamie Foxx can add the role of Vampire Slayer to his catalog of movies. Netflix has released the trailer and a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming horror-action flick. “You are not prepared for Day Shift,” Foxx says in the video. “This is gonna be like something you’ve never seen before.” The film will release on August 12.
Foxx plays a hard-working dad who wants to provide a good life for his daughter. Along with his pool cleaning job, he also hunts and kills vampires as part of an international union of hunters. The film also stars Dave Franco, Karla Souza, Meagan Good, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Oliver Masucci, Snoop Dogg, Steve Howey, Scott Adkins and Zion Broadnax. It is also the directorial debut of J.J. Perry, who has done stunts for films like John Wick, Avatar and Iron Man. The film also is Foxx’s first since reprising his role as Electro in the record-breaking Spider-Man: No Way Home.
