Transylvania meets California in the first trailer for Netflix's Day Shift
Jamie Foxx, Dave Franco, and Snoop Dogg star in the action-packed comedy about a Los Angeles vampire hunter
Los Angeles: In theory, the backdrop for Selling Sunset would be the last place darkness-loving vampires would seek to settle down. Even her majesty Buffy Summers, the eponymous Buffy The Vampire Slayer, moved away from the California metropolis to fight bigger, badder crime in Sunnydale. But in the trailer for Netflix’s new action-comedy Day Shift, LA is the center of a thriving hidden vampire community—and hunting down the undead is a big business.
Jamie Foxx, Dave Franco, and Snoop Dogg star in the new film “from the guys who taught John Wick to kick ass” (director J.J. Perry has done stunts for the John Wick series and co-writer Shay Hatten is a veteran of that franchise, plus series director Chad Stahelski is on board here as a producer.) The film follows Foxx as a blue-collar dad trying to support his daughter, and the only difference between Foxx’s character and your average John Mellencamp hero is that Foxx ekes out a living as a vampire hunter, a gruesome occupation he keeps hidden behind the front of a pool-cleaning business.
