Bright
Director David Ayer and Deadshot himself, Will Smith, have reunited after working together on 2016’s Suicide Squad to bring us this intriguing urban fantasy from Netflix, due in December.
Starring Smith as human cop Scott Ward and an unrecognizable Joel Edgerton as his Orc partner Nick Jakoby, Bright is set in an alternate world in which humans and creatures from folklore and fairy tales co-exist. The two unlikely partners will have to come together to protect an elfin woman (Noomi Rapace) who possesses a magic wand – described as a “nuclear weapon that grants wishes.”
The trailer suitably promises a film that’s as crazy and fantastic as you’d hope, with an imaginative mix of buddy cop tropes and high fantasy. It clearly has the same visual style that Ayer brought to his last effort, but let’s just hope that this one has a stronger narrative.
