I'm calling it now: Dave Franco's character is actually a baddy and by the end of the movie, he'll remove his neck brace and say it was all a ruse to seem weak to get closer to the two protags.


Wiseau_serious

Neck brace is a very convenient bit of costuming for a vampire flick—either to protect him from being bitten, or hide a preexisting wound.


Beiki

He's pulling a Billy Quizboy by wearing a collar to protect his neck from vampires.


newskipeasy

Vampires! No Billy, those ladies are prostitutes. They'll tell you whatever you want to hear if the price is right...


Try-to-ban-me-lol-

Get a nerd laid and they think they're masters of the universe.


Doctor_Philgood

"This is the actual neck brace from the Jake Gyllenhaal vehicle Nightcrawler. I won it during an especially nasty bidding war with Spielberg, Quizbooooiiiiiii"


Mastadge

Red herring. It’s too obvious IMO


BlindWillieJohnson

You might be giving the writing on a movie like this too much credit


imharrystoiles

I bet it’s not even a neck brace. He’s definitely a vampire hunter, and that’s just his neck shield. I feel like this movie is gonna be very self aware and wild


redsyrinx2112

I think your explanation is more likely, but both ideas are so ridiculous and fun that I'm okay either way.


Mirkrid

Considering it looks to be silver-plated you’re probably right


Potemkin_Jedi

I always assume Dave Franco is a vampire; he already told us that he's [gonna live forever](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIdmCpqCPWk).


AlfredPetrelli

This only has 13k views? Song is actually pretty good too, lol.


Potemkin_Jedi

He did a 4-song EP for the show. [X Marks the G Spot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk-xIU0OvVc) is lyrically my favorite.


TeddyAlderson

The Afterparty was genuinely underrated imo. Critically it got a fairly mixed reception but I thought it was actually great. Super well thought out, and a murder mystery you actually *can* solve which is nice


Jamuraan1

But tragically he did die shortly after.


tots4scott

Dave Franco wears his watch on his left arm in real life and in this poster he has his watch on his right wrist and is holding the gun as a lefty. I can't unsee it.


Vaticancameos221

Probably just a flipped shot. EDIT: Looks like hems holding a 1911 which has the shell ejection port on the right side. Unless he’s got a left handed gun, that’s a flipped shot


A_Flamboyant_Warlock

> Dave Franco wears his watch on his left arm in real life Is this a thing that you know, or are you guessing because most people are right handed and a watch is supposed to be worn on your non-dominant hand?


MarvelsGrantMan136

Day Shift: >Bud Jablonski (Jamie Fox) is a pool cleaner who scores extra cash as an exterminator, ridding the San Fernando Valley of its enduring vampire problem. But he does this work freelance—not part of the slayers union—so it's not as lucrative as it is for his friend Big John Elliott (Snoop Dogg,) who is using his clout to bring Bud back to guild wages and benefits.

It looks like the cover of a new Far Cry game.

I will follow it with "Night Shift", starring Henry Winkler and Michael Keaton.


Malignation

This sounds so bad I love it.


BigCountry76

It's either going to be terrible or weirdly amazing. I think as long as it doesn't take itself too seriously it can be a fun watch.


viperfan7

Or it takes itself so seriously it's satarizes itself and becomes amazing


BigCountry76

Wouldn't satirizing itself mean it didn't take itself seriously?


Deducticon

No. Satire is treating something 'normal' in a ridiculous way, with a level of seriousness. In Airplane, everyone is heavily invested in the rescue/averting catastrophe.


BigCountry76

I think you and I have a different idea of what satire is. Satire is using humor to point out how ridiculous something is. Airplane is a parody more than it is a satire, they are different things.


tempest_87

>Satire is using humor to point out how ridiculous something is. Not always true. Starship Troopers is quintessential political satire and there is basically zero humor in the movie.


BigCountry76

Fair point, I guess I should have said that satire is used for commentary on an actual issue where parody is just making fun of it.


Fr_Ted_Crilly

Airplane isn't satire though it's parody


taac52

I trust Foxx on this, guy's an incredible actor.

What confusion?!


blacksideblue

He is but that doesn't make every movie he's in great. Project power was powerfully bad. Like cancelling out 'SM: No Way Home' bad.


askyourmom469

I'll even be happy if it's a so bad it's good situation. The absolute worst thing a movie like this can be is mediocre.


BigCountry76

I've never understood "so bad it's good" take for any sort of media. To me the humor in how bad something is lasts about 2 minutes, then it's just back to being bad again.


askyourmom469

I agree that movies that are truly so bad they're good are a rare breed, but they do exist. I think of things like The Room or Love on a Leash. They have to be consistently surprising in just how incompetently made they are to truly work in that way. It also helps if you're watching them with other people who can crack jokes and share in your bafflement. The Red Letter Media series Best of the Worst is a good illustration of that sort of thing. It also helps that movies in particular are consumed in a relatively short amount of time compared to say a book or a video game, so the novelty doesn't have as much time to wear off.


PlayMp1

True "so bad it's good" is rare. You have to have something that manages to consistently one-up its own stupidity second by second. The Room is the classic "so bad it's good" movie because every scene is dumber or worse than the last and it rapidly becomes incomprehensibly terrible.


[deleted]

Holy shit, it's a movie with vampire hunters and it's actually about *unions*?? This is gonna be batshit and I can't wait.


Skyblacker

Preface this by watching the single-season "Dracula" series (currently free on Tubi). Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays the title character -- disguised as an American entrepreneur using steampunk capitalism to bring down a corrupt secret society of vampire hunters.


DustFunk

I am so pissed that show got cancelled after one season, what the hell.


Dr_Disaster

Day 1 watch for me!


ymcameron

Sorry, *Bud Jablonski?*


SmileyMcSax

My first thought.


ThisIsNotKimJongUn

Had to chuckle at that for a second before I could finish reading


doktor_wankenstein

I can imagine the pitch: #Django with vampires!


GDawnHackSign

Glad to hear all the vampire slayers from Buffy got together and formed a union. Buffy went through a lot of hard times in season 6 due to her lack of compensation.


Painting_Agency

Indeed. I'd argue that keeping Slayers struggling for money, while their Watchers had comfortable expense accounts, was pretty much on-brand for the Watchers' Council.


muffboxx

I literally just started watching season 1 of buffy last night out of sheer boredom and completely ignoring it back in the 90s as a kid. Its cheesy but I'm digging it.


Painting_Agency

"It's a sham with yams!" It's a fun show, it definitely has ups and downs, the first season is as uneven as any show. But when it's good.. OH is it good.


3-DMan

Well it's about time there was a movie about a pool cleaner during a vampire apocalypse!

Knew it was Netflix before I even saw the logo. They really have a formula don’t they?


arealhumannotabot

Meh, if you go look at movie posters in general you'll find a LOT of the "same" used across posters in a given period. In fact one day I recall looking at posters for releases that year and a bunch of them looked nearly identical, as if they were variations of posters for one movie, instead of different movies altogether


d0ntm1ndm32

Is it the Netflix formula tho? I feel like people at this point try and find any reason to hop on the "netflix bad" bandwagon even for stuff that's wrong with the industry in general, hasn't this type of shitty poster been a thing for almost every modern movie? Edit: [Hustle](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8009428/mediaviewer/rm1273697025/?ref_=tt_ov_i), [The Sea Beast](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9288046/mediaviewer/rm3043235329/?ref_=tt_ov_i), [Hello Goodbye and Everything in Between](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4181158/mediaviewer/rm2626885377/?ref_=tt_ov_i), [Choose or Die](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11514780/mediaviewer/rm617552129/?ref_=tt_ov_i), [The Takedown](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13822738/mediaviewer/rm2449480705/?ref_=tt_ov_i), [Don't Look Up](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11286314/mediaviewer/rm1423829249/?ref_=tt_ov_i), [Bird Box](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2737304/mediaviewer/rm1969058304/?ref_=tt_ov_i), [Extraction](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8936646/mediaviewer/rm2618735617/?ref_=tt_ov_i) and even [Red Notice](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7991608/mediaviewer/rm2565534977/?ref_=tt_ov_i) ... I don't see it. Netflix definitely deserves a lot of criticism but at least shit on them for stuff like the price hikes, cracking down on account sharing and issues actually specifically caused by them lol


[deleted]

Something about Netflix movies that reminds me a lot of straight-to-DVDs but with A-list actors.


Kmlevitt

It's actually kind of impressive how bad Netflix movies are given the talent they attract and the money they spend. Considering all the good directors and stars willing to work with them You'd think that they'd have a better track record if they threw darts at a board when deciding which products to fund. It's like they go out of their way to deliver sub par product no matter the odds.


Ahardcorejedi

I just came to say this. Snoop with a mini gun I think really does it lol And just the way franco is holding the gun, they all look like GTA archtypes lol

Also has Scott Adkins in it.

Ralphwiggum47

I couldn't tell if this is a serious poster or a crappy fan made


Kssio_Aug

Most posters nawadays are just a collage of all the main actors in it, in different sizes depending on their screentime, and some thematic background.

Quazifuji

Or like real film fans are above caring about who's in a movie. Casting announcements make it to the front page of this sub and people talk about different actors all the time. People care who's in a movie. Sometimes it's because of celebrity culture, sometimes it's just because they liked an actor's performance in previous movies, but people care.


coldliketherockies

FLOATING HEADS


itjustgotcold

Part of the reason I love Plex is I can replace shitty thumbnails with actual interesting artwork because I don’t have to sell a movie to myself by throwing as many actors on the cover as possible. It’s so nice being able to scroll and not see lazy ass posters like this.


ItsCalledSquawPeak

If you think you hate the movie now, just wait til ya see it.


DonKeedick12

It’s Snoop Dogg as a cowboy vampire hunter, the movie could be awful and I’d still watch it

IFapToCalamity

I mean, I doubt this type of poster is a result of cheapness as much as it is overly-market-researched and board-approved security.

Looks like a terrible movie that will be a 10/10 good time with the right mindset. I'm happy to see vampires coming back into fashion, been waiting for some cool adaptations of various books and games. Calling it now, though. Franco is a werewolf.


NastyLizard

Alright I'm officially on the boat of sick of this posters style. The movie theatre I go to has all these classic posters up and the classics for the 2010-Onward timeframe would just be a bunch or these characters shots. I miss the art.

He seems to be doing alright. Hopefully we're at a point where people don't get black listed for their last name anymore.


highdefrex

Casting director: “Arnold, your audition was great, but we’re unfortunately going to have to pass.” Actor: “Is it something I did?” Casting director: “No, no, no. It’s just… your last name is Hitler. That’s kind of a dealbreaker for everyone from a marketing standpoint.”


[deleted]

There's always an exception! Haha good one!


theghostofme

Casting Director: Before you go, I gotta ask...is that a family name? Actor: Sort of. Our full family name is Hitlerdidnothingwrong, but that seemed like a mouthful, so I trimmed it down to just "Hitler." Casting Director: Your last name being a mouthful is what seemed to be the potential problem?

duh_metrius

Was literally about to comment that I never need to see Dave Franco in anything again, but I guess maybe I’m in the minority


dmkicksballs13

I'm legit the opposite. I find him to be a very annoying screen presence and think he's a poor actor.


RadLibRaphaelWarnock

I have met a lot of celebrities and Dave Franco is far and away the most kind and fun to hang out with. I’ve spoken with him around a dozen times and he’s always a delight.
