Watch David Ayer’s Bright Sequel’s Official Announcement Video

Walking The Thin Bright Line Again

♦  After the success of David Ayer’s Bright TV movie, Netflix are moving ahead with a followup, and here’s an announcement video with some ‘leaked’ footage from WeGotThisCovered…

Here is what Variety had to say about the sequel this week:

Following the success of Bright, Netflix is moving forward with a sequel. David Ayer will return to write and direct the second installment, with Will Smith and Joel Edgerton are attached to reprise their roles.

Writer Max Landis won’t be back for the next film. Eric Newman and Bryan Unkeless are set as producers.

Bright stars Smith and Edgerton as two LAPD police officers — one human, one orc, respectively — who are paired together in an alternate universe populated by fantastical creatures in addition to humans. The film was slated by most critics for its heavy-handed social commentary, which drew parallels between real-life class and racial divisions and the tension between the different races of mythical creatures in the film.
