Jamie Foxx Gets Superpowers In Netflix’s ‘Project Power’

Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Dominique Fishback are set to star in Project Power from Paranormal Activity 3 filmmakers Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. “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 with too 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 take the pill in order to track down and stop the group responsible for creating it.” Mattson Tomlin (The Batman) wrote the script for Project Power, premiering on Netflix on August 14th.

Todd MacFarlane’s Spawn Reboot Has A New Director

We all know that Spawn creator Todd MacFarlane has been working hard on a live-action reboot starring Jamie Foxx as Spawn and Jeremy Renner as Twitch. Today, news has come from MacFarlane himself that a new presently unnamed director has come aboard the project and is now finishing up on the script. Right now it’s being polished by another writer-director from the script that we handed him. MacFarlane told BeTerrific during an interview before continuing to say, “He’s supposed to be done with it here in a few weeks, and then once we sort of go back and forth and tighten it up a little bit, then we’re going into Hollywood and we’re gonna get a yes or no. Here’s what I can tell you: I have people with money on the sidelines. There are people that are gonna help me make this movie. The question is, do we go into Hollywood, make a deal with Hollywood, go and make

Jamie Foxx Is The New Spawn!

Back in May, we reported that Jamie Foxx had been offered the role of Spawn in Todd McFarlane‘s new film. Today, it has been confirmed by Deadline, Jamie Foxx is our new Spawn! See, this all started five years ago when Foxx told Movies.com that he would love to pay the part. “Spawn is one, yeah. And Mike Tyson,” Foxx stated. “Those are two roles I would just love to do. I’m aggressively pursuing them.” McFarlane has been teasing that the comic adaptation, backed by Blumhouse, will feature a lot of “big name” actors, and Foxx is definitely one of them, though the others have not been named so far. Foxx will play the role of Lieutenant Colonel Al Simmons who is killed and returns from Hell as Spawn, a soldier in the Devil’s army. The role will be very different than the 1997 version starring Michael Jai White. In this one Spawn will not speak and will be a
