‘Day Shift’: Snoop Dogg Bites Into Netflix’s Vampire Horror Starring Jamie Foxx
Snoop Dogg (Bones, Hood of Horror) continues to play around in horror having just landed a role in Netflix’s horror film Day Shift, which will feature Jamie Foxx as a vampire hunter.
“Day Shift sees Jamie Foxx play 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 ensemble cast includes Scott Adkins (Doctor Strange, Vigilante), Dave Franco (The Rental), Meagan Good (Saw V, The Unborn), Karla Souza (Jacob’s Ladder), Eric Lange (“Lost”) and Zion Broadnax, which earlier named Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Oliver Masucci, Steve Howey and C.S. Lee to co-starring roles, adds Heat Vision.
“J.J. Perry, known for his work as a second-unit director and stunt coordinator for The Fate of the Furious, Bloodshot and the John Wick movies, will helm the project based on a script initially discovered at a screenplay competition.
“Tyler Tice’s script has current revisions by Shay Hatten, and the producer credits are shared by Chad Stahelski and Jason Spitz for 87Eleven Entertainment and Shaun Redick and Yvette Yates Redick for Impossible Dream Entertainment.
“The executive producer credits are shared by Foxx, Datari Turner and Peter Baxter.”
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
