Netflix is doing the damn thing in regards to nabbing high profile celebrities for big budget action films on their streaming service. They gave us Chris Hemsworth with Extraction, and just last Friday, Charlize Theron turned it out as an immortal mercenary in The Old Guard.
Now it’s Jamie Foxx’s turn to get in on the action. In the film Project Power, Foxx plays an ex soldier who gets entangled with a cop and a teen in New Orleans as they hunt for the source behind a dangerous new pill that grants users temporary superpowers.
Below is a full synopsis for the film:
What would you risk for five minutes of pure power? On the streets of New Orleans, word begins to spread about a mysterious new pill that unlocks superpowers unique to each user. The catch: You don’t know what will happen until you take it. While some develop bulletproof skin, invisibility, and super strength, others exhibit a deadlier reaction. But when the pill escalates crime within the city to dangerous levels, a local cop (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) teams with a teenage dealer (Dominique Fishback) and a former soldier fueled by a secret vendetta (Jamie Foxx) to fight power with power and risk taking the pill in order to track down and stop the group responsible for creating it.
The action film is slated to stream on Netflix on August 14th.
