Small Details You Missed In Project Power | Netflix

You don't usually put on a movie about superpowers expecting political commentary, a robust and realistic sense of place, or deep cultural cuts - but, then again, most superpower movies aren't Project Power. Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman's latest flick is full of brutal sci-fi action, surprising plot twists, and excellent performances from its three leads. But it's also much more than that. If you're a fan of the filmmakers behind Project Power, you'll find plenty of small Easter eggs paying tribute to their past and future productions. It's stylish and exciting, and it's stacked with small details that give it an unexpected depth. It's the best of both worlds. We're getting into spoilers, so make sure you want to know what happens before you keep watching. Okay, let's dig into all the best small details hidden in Project Power. He's credited in Project Power as Colson Baker, but no, your eyes do not deceive you. Newt, the dealer who supplies Robin with the pills she slings, is played by none other than award-winning hip-hop artist Machine Gun Kelly. He appears again a few minutes later, when he fights Jamie Foxx with his Human Torch-like fire powers, but he's a little harder to identify - as it turns out, setting yourself on fire leaves behind some pretty nasty scars. Baker is best known for his music, but he's also an accomplished actor. He debuted in the 2014 romantic drama Beyond the Lights, which was directed by The Old Guard's Gina Prince-Bythewood, and appeared in movies like Bird Box and The Dirt, where he plays Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee. It's actually not that surprising that Baker popped up in Project Power, given that he's worked with its directors, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, twice before. In Nerve, a techno-thriller about a high-stakes game of online truth or dare, Baker plays Ty, the chief rival of Emma Roberts' character, Vee. In Viral, a sci-fi horror flick, he's CJ, the unfaithful boyfriend to Analeigh Tipton's Stacey, who gets his comeuppance after Stacy catches a bizarre disease. You can see a little bit of both movies in Project Power's DNA - the movie deals with the dark side of technology and contains a fair amount of body horror - and Baker's casting really drives the connections home.
