Bright
Will Smith and David Ayer explicate the ins - and - outs ofBright , their upcoming Netflix pal - cop activity - phantasy celluloid , in a new featurette . Written by Max Landis , Brightwas peck up in March by Netflix - whichspent $ 90 millionto acquire the project , as part of their on - endure effort to become logical players as producers of major - studio - layer music genre plastic film .
Set in Los Angeles in a universe where fantasy characterslive alongsidehumans , Brightstars Will Smith as human cop Daryl Ward , who is reluctantly partnered with Jakoby ( Joel Edgerton ) , the first Orc ever to make the law force out . Together the duo stumble upon a magical physical object that gives its owner outright power , and must contend to keep this artifact out of the hands of criminals , corrupt bull and others with dreams of becoming invincible supervillains .
In a new featurette release byNetflix , Smith ( who ’s starring ) , Ayer ( who ’s head ) , and others take witness on a turn of the pic ’s mash - up legal action / phantasy public ( see the video recording above ) . Smith explains the picture ’s backcloth , name how its version of L.A. seems moderately normal , except that it ’s partially populated by Orcs , Elves and other backwash normally see only in the Thomas Nelson Page of illusion stories or in flick manoeuver by Peter Jackson .
The featurette mostly recycles the same footage seen in the lastBrighttrailer , adding interview clip . Like the trailer , the video bent up how Ward and Jakoby become partners , patrolling the street of L.A. and enlist in humorous buddy - pig banter . We ’re then premise to Noomi Rapace’sElf fictitious character Leilah , who looks like she may have step properly out of a Cyberpunk novel ( as if the film did n’t already address enough literary genre ) . Leilah is in possession of what Jakoby calls " a magic wand , " some kind of powerful artifact that Smith compares to " a atomic bomb . " Evil force of all backwash naturally require to get their manpower on this magic object , which would give them the power to take over the world or just destroy stuff with impunity .
As David Ayer explain in the magazine , much of the motion-picture show centers around the friendship of Ward and Jakoby as the two seemingly very different type hold fast through their shared experience . This moral force will be conversant to fans ofStarsky and HutchandLethal Weapon , or the movie and telecasting seriesAlien Nation , or any of the thousand other narrative that have centered on the budding friendship between mismatch characters as they navigate a series of hazards . The fantasy chemical element not only adds a layer of gaud to the buddy - cop recipe , it also allows for a plot that veers into comic book superhero territory ; though how all this will ultimately fit together stay to be see .
As the clip anticipate , a new laggard forBrightis coif to drop on Sunday , October 22 , so we ’ll keep our eyes peeled for that .
