For his follow-up to Suicide Squad, director David Ayer is once again teaming with Will Smith and heading to Netflix with Bright, a fantasy tinged actioner that sees a human (Smith) and orc (Joel Edgerton) cop police a world where humans exist side by side with fantasy creatures like orcs, fairies, and elves. Everything is business as usual for the pair, until they come into possession of a massively powerful, and highly illegal, weapon: a magic wand.
This first trailer doesn’t really give much away, but this weird little movie does have a lot going for it. At times, it feels like Ayer’s own End of Watch with added monsters, shot through with a gritty style you wouldn’t expect from a movie that has the words orc and magic wand in the plot description. It may seem like a strange concept to pull off, but even if we’ve only seen 30 seconds so far, I’m inclined to believe Ayer can do it.
Bright lands on Netflix in December.
