Titled Day Shift, the vampire hunter project will have Jamie Fox playing the lead. It will be helmed by JJ Perry as his feature film directorial debut.

John Wick franchise director Chad Stahelski and Jason Spitz will be producing the project for 87Eleven Entertainment along with Shaun Redick (BlackKklansman) and Yvette Yates Redick (Malicious) for Impossible Dream Entertainment. Jamie Fox will also serve as the executive producer of the film. The original script is penned by Tyler Tice. It was discovered by the Impossible Dream team when Tice won the Slamdance Writing Competition Grand Prize. The current revisions are been looked at by Shay Hatten, the screenwriter of John Wick: Chapter 3 and the upcoming John Wick 4 as well as Army of the Dead directed by Zack Snyder for Netflix.
