One of the big winners of the San Diego Comic’s opening night was Netflix’s Hall H panel that highlighted two of their monster-budgeted original productions: Bright and Death Note, the former being directed by David Ayer (Suicide Squad, End of Watch). Just yesterday we shared the panel’s awesome new trailer, which features stars Will Smith (I Am Legend) and Joel Edgerton (The Gift) in an interesting new take on social commentary.
Here are a ton of images from the San Diego Comic-Con panel and press conference to go along with video highlights from the aforementioned panel. Bright streams on Netflix December 22, 2017.
“Set in an alternate present-day where humans, orcs, elves, and fairies have been coexisting since the beginning of time, 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 (Will Smith), and Jakoby, an orc (Joel Edgerton), embark on a routine night patrol that will alter the future of their world as they know it. Battling both their own personal differences as well as an onslaught of enemies, they must work together to protect a young female elf and a thought-to-be-forgotten relic, which in the wrong hands could destroy everything.”
The Netflix original film stars Will Smith, Joel Edgerton, Noomi Rapace, Lucy Fry, Edgar Ramirez, Ike Barinholtz, Enrique Murciano, Jay Hernandez, Andrea Navedo, Veronica Ngo, Alex Meraz, Margaret Cho, Brad William Henke, Dawn Olivieri, and Kenneth Choi.
