Joel Edgerton and Will Smith partner up in Netflix’s action film, Bright, directed by David Ayer (Suicide Squad, End of Watch, and Training Day). The new trailer shows off the cop team of Will Smith as Officer Ward (a human) and Joel Edgerton as Officer Jakoby (an orc), as well as more footage of the world in which orcs and humans exist side-by-side.
In addition to Smith and Edgerton, the Bright cast includes Noomi Rapace (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows), Lucy Fry (Wolf Creek), Edgar Ramirez (The Girl on the Train), Ike Barinholtz (The Mindy Project), Enrique Murciano (Bloodline), Jay Hernandez (A Bad Mom’s Christmas), Andrea Navedo (Jane the Virgin), Veronica Ngo (The Lost Dragon), Alex Meraz (Animal Kingdom), Margaret Cho (Drop Dead Diva), Brad William Henke (Orange is the New Black), Dawn Oliveri (Secrets and Lies), and Kenneth Choi (The Last Man on Earth). Max Landis (Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency) wrote the script and David Ayer, Eric Newman, and Bryan Unkeless produced the action thriller.
The just-released trailer also includes two new singles from the film’s soundtrack: “Danger” by Migos & Marshmello, and “Home” by Machine Gun Kelly, X Ambassadors & Bebe Rexha. Bright: The Album will be available for pre-order on November 9th. The film will be released in select theaters and on Netflix beginning December 22, 2017.
The Plot: Set in an alternate present-day, this action-thriller directed by David Ayer (Suicide Squad, End of Watch, writer of Training Day) follows two cops from very different backgrounds (Ward, a human played by Will Smith, and Jakoby, an orc played by Joel Edgerton) who embark on a routine patrol night that will ultimately alter the future as their world knows it. Battling both their own personal differences as well as an onslaught of enemies, they must work together to protect a thought-to-be-forgotten relic, which in the wrong hands could destroy everything.
