Davis recently produced his first film, which he also stars in,\u00a0A Message from Brianna<\/strong><\/em> \u2014 a\u00a0supernatural horror thriller also starring Asia’h Epperson<\/strong> (Straight Outta Compton, Dear Best Friend<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Greenleaf<\/em>),\u00a0which debuted\u00a0at the 2021\u00a0American Black Film Festival<\/a>\u00a0in November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written and directed by DeShon Hardy, the film follows Leonard Taylor (Davis) and his wife, Kathy (Epperson), who are thrilled to move into their first home, an old house on a rural road once owned by Leonard’s grandparents. At first, it seems like an idyllic place to raise their two-year-old daughter, Brianna. That is until the couple discovers that their baby girl is taking part in a series of late-night supernatural events, and soon she becomes a terrifying messenger from the other side.

Over the past year, Davis has filmed several movies, including one with John Malkovich\u00a0(The Chariot)\u00a0<\/em>and two with Bruce Willis (Gasoline Alley<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0A Day to Die)<\/em>. He’s currently filming a serial killer thriller Muti<\/strong><\/em>, in which he’ll play the lone antagonist alongside Cole Hauser<\/strong> (Yellowstone<\/em>) and Oscar winner Morgan Freeman<\/strong> (Million Dollar Baby<\/em>). George Gallo<\/strong> (Bad Boys<\/em>) is directing the movie, which follows Detective Boyd (Hauser) as he hunts down a serial killer named Randoku (Davis), who kills based on a brutal South African tribal ritual known as Muti, in which someone is killed so their body parts can be used in medicinal witchcraft. Boyd recruits the help of Professor Mackles (Freeman), an African anthropologist who hides an unspeakable secret. The line between sanity and madness thins as Boyd goes deeper into the Randoku’s world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The script for\u00a0Muti<\/em>\u00a0hails from six writers \u2013 Bob Bowersox, Jennifer Lemmon, Francesco Cinquemani, Giorgia Iannone, Luca Giliberto and Ferdinando Dell’Omo. It is based on a story by Joe Lemmon and Cinquemani. Producers are Joe Lemmon of Black Diamond Films, Andrea Iervolino, Monika Bacardi and Danielle Maloni of Iervolino & Lady Bacardi Entertainment SPA, and Bret Saxon of Wonderfilm Media. Executive producers are Richard Salvatore, David E. Ornston, Nate Adams, Jeff Bowler and Luca Matrundola. Production is currently underway in Jackson, Mississippi before moving to Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vernon Davis<\/strong>\u00a0is a former\u00a0American football tight end. He played\u00a0college football\u00a0at\u00a0Maryland, and was drafted by the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0sixth overall in the\u00a02006 NFL Draft. In 2009, Davis co-led the NFL in touchdown receptions and consequently earned his first of two career\u00a0Pro Bowl selections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the\u00a02011\u201312 NFL playoffs\u00a0with the 49ers, Davis caught the game-winning touchdown pass from\u00a0Alex Smith\u00a0against the\u00a0New Orleans Saints, referred to as “The Catch\u00a0III”. In 2015, Davis was traded to the\u00a0Denver Broncos, where he won\u00a0Super Bowl 50\u00a0with the team over the\u00a0Carolina Panthers. He then signed with the\u00a0Washington Redskins\u00a0in 2016, where he played until his retirement following the 2019 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
