Foxx is Bud Jablonski, a hardworkin­g dad and pool cleaner by day but a vampire hunter by night, in the horror-comedy

Day Shift

(Aug. 12 on Netflix), which also stars Snoop Dogg and Dave Franco. Set in a world where vampires are hunted for their valuable fangs, Bud accidental­ly kills the daughter of a high-ranking bloodsucke­r, who vows revenge. “It’s fun and the stunts that you see are amazing,” says Foxx, 54, who won an Oscar for playing Ray Charles in Ray. “This movie has ’popcorn’ moments.”

Pitt, 58, takes a thrilling ride in Bullet Train (currently in theaters) as an unlucky assassin nicknamed Ladybug, who’s just trying to complete his latest job. But fate puts him on a collision course with lethal adversarie­s from around the globe on the world’s fastest train—and now he’s got to figure out how to get off, alive. “This is a Brad performanc­e that we’ve never seen him do before,” says producer Kelly McCormick. “It’s light, it’s fun, it’s crazy and he’s having a ball.”
