Netflix's track record for original movies is spotty, to say the least. On one hand, you have something like the pretty stellarBeasts of No Nation. Then there'sAdam Sandler's outputthat'sexclusiveto the streaming juggernaut and theCrouching TigerHidden Dragonsequel. But maybeBright, a new flick starring Will Smith that's being directed bySuicide Squad's David Ayer, can fix that.The Hollywood Reportersays that the budget is between $80 million and $100 million and follows a human cop (Smith) forced into working with an orc partner (Joel Edgerton) to find a powerful wand.It sounds kind of far fetched, but the movie's fiction is such that creatures like orcs live alongside humans and the police have a special unit for dealing with magic-related crimes. Sounds a bit like theFablesseries of comics that developer Telltale Games'The Wolf Among Usseries is based on, no?Considering Ayer's previous cop-related work involves writingTraining Dayand both writing and directingEnd of Watch, odds are that this could be pretty good once it releases. And as far as when you can watch it goes, that isn't known for now.THR's sources say that the deal hasn't been completely finalized.
