Jaime Foxx is coming to Netflix to save the world from criminals hopped up on random, five minute superpowers in Project Power.
Project Power stars Jamie Foxx as an ex-soldier, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a cop, and newcomer Dominique Fishback as a teenage dealer, working together to stop a new drug that gives the user a random superpower for five minutes, because obviously the drug has led to a wave of superpowered crime. You don’t know what superpower you’re going to get, if it will be useful to your criminal/heroic endeavours, or if it will just kill you, but you could be Superman for five minutes – totally worth it.
The film does not appear to be an adaptation of any existing work, so I’m looking forward to a somewhat original take on the superhero genre.
Project Power hits Netflix on 14 August 2020.
