'Project Power': Meet Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and rest of the cast of Netflix's sci-fi film
A pill that gives you superpowers — how unusual does that sound? But don't get carried away, these powers have consequences. Well, if you are warming up to the idea already, you'll probably be interested in 'Project Power', which will hit Netflix on August 14.
Starring Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the film has been directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman and Mattson Tomlin serves as a writer. Ray Angelic and Orlee-Rose Strauss serve as executive producers, and Eric Newman and Bryan Unkeless serve as producers.
The official plot synopsis of the film reads: "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."
