Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt starrer Netflix’s Project Power trailer is out and this one plays around with some super powered chemistry; with a very big catch.
Directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, Project Power focuses on a drug named, aptly enough, “Power.” With the ability to give anyone who takes it superpowers, such as invisibility or the generation of fire and/or ice, it’s a perky pill that only gives the user five minutes of marvelous abilities. And the biggest twist is – you never know what your power will be until you try the drug for yourself.
That’s apparently enough of a risk though, as a kingpin (Westworld’s Rodrigo Santoro) is looking to go into business trafficking this stuff hardcore. It’s up to Jamie Foxx’s ex-soldier and Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s cop to bust this operation up and, with the help of a young Power dealer (Dominique Fishback), they’re going to take their fight to their enemies.
Not only is Netflix getting into the superhero game with Project Power, but they’re doing so with a pretty big distinction from most of the competition.
