In Day Shift, Foxx stars as a hard-working blue-collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted 8-year old daughter. However, his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income, hunting and killing vampires.
Perry will direct from a screenplay written by Shay Hatten (John Wick 3 & 4, Army of the Dead) based on the original script penned by Tyler Tice. The Netflix streaming release will be produced by Stahelski and Jason Spitz for 87Eleven Entertainment along with Impossible Dream Entertainment’s Shaun Redick and Yvette Yates Redick.
