Will Smith has a big ass sword in first teaser for David Ayer’s Bright

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Though there was plenty to talk about at last night’s Oscars (I know…Brie Larson looked AMAZING!), one little nugget that was probably forgotten about by the end of the night was the airing of the first teaser for the new movie, BRIGHT. The Will Smith vehicle from director David Ayer and writer Max Landis is about a human cop (Smith) who has to team up with an Orc (Joel Edgerton) to stop some baddies from obtaining an all-powerful weapon in a world where humans and fantastical creatures live side-by-side. Yes, we will have to see it to believe it, and here’s a taste of it for ya. For the record, I still don’t believe it.

I mean, it’s just a teaser, so it’s not much, but we did get a better look at some of the creatures. The L.A. landscape looks like something out of a normal Ayer movie…but in the end will look like a movie with $90 million price tag. The whole project seems weird, not just because of the plot, but also because Will Smith is starring in a Netflix movie. I didn’t think this is something he would go for, but I trust he made the right call. He does look like a badass with that sword.

BRIGHT heads to Netflix sometime in December 2017 starring Smith, Edgerton, Noomi Rapace, Ike Barinholtz and Edgar Ramirez.
