Jamie Foxx is no stranger to leading action movies, but his next one will make you see him in a whole new light. The first trailer for Day Shift is here and it sees the Oscar-winning actor transform into a blue-collar dad who also happens to be a modern-day vampire hunter.
According to the film’s official logline, “Jamie Foxx stars as a hard-working blue-collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted daughter, but 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.”
The first trailer reveals that Foxx’s character accepts this side hustle because he must earn some quick cash to stop his wife and daughter from moving to Florida. In addition to Foxx, Day Shift also stars Dave Franco, Meagan Good, Karla Souza, Steve Howey, Scott Adkins, and Snoop Dogg.
This horror action-comedy will premiere on Netflix on August 12, and it’s the latest in the long line of Foxx’s collaborations with the streamer. He starred in sci-fi action film Project Power in 2020, sitcom Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! in 2021, and is set to reunite with Netflix for the upcoming film Back in Action, also starring Cameron Diaz.
