It did almost happen once, I believe.
Get Kevin Smith onboard too.

That actually has happened. It was when he was doing promo for Zack & Miri.

That movie was stylish and different from its peers, and that drew a big audience even if they left the theatre less excited. It was an easy sell to get people to watch at least.

No no, I mean Kevin and Max at the same time.

As someone who has been on Dresden binge lately, yea. Only everything is out in the open compared that universe and there are no wizards.

I don't need to be made party to whatever your personal fantasies happen to be. I'm not gonna judge you for 'em, but I'm not anybody's daydream pimp, yunno? Nothin personal.

I'm all in for more contemporary/urban fantasy.
Let's go.

Ok, this looks really dumb but I still want to watch it.
Hollywood sure has a good grasp of the cultural zeitgeist lately.
I don't get this movie. If it's meant to be a fantasy drama, why are they playing it like Training Day? If it's meant to be allegorical, why do they throw in a stupid "fairy lives don't matter" line? If it's meant to be Netflix's big movie, why on earth did they pick a Max Landis script?
So many questions.

Yeah that was a really fucking bad one.
That's me.
I gotta admit I find it pretty suspect that Max has been tweeting from Comic-Con about his scripts and other stuff and hasn't mention his 3.5 millz movie script that now has a trailer which debuted at Comic-Con.

Conflicted feelings.
I've yet to see something with Max Landis involved that I liked. I prefer watching this youtube videos on how the industry works than his actual work XD

Huh, so the "fairy lives don't matter" isn't from Max's script. It's Fairy Heaven.
"Bolt-on-tits" ok...

Yup, I really enjoyed that. I also really liked American Ultra.
Also, love the Shadowrun-esque setting.

literal cringe
Huh, I didn't know that they were going for an R-rating with this, as there's no way that a throat slash with blood would ever get a PG-13.
That being said, that "fairy lives don't matter" line is really, really, really tone deaf, even with the context of involving an actual fairy.

Does this billing of "A NETFLIX FILM" bug anyone else?
It's already kind of obnoxious how they stick "Netflix Original" on shit they just licensed from another country, but now they're inserting themselves as the driving creative force for branding purposes and that seems...really shitty?

It's a Netflix movie; it was bought and paid for by Netflix, and it was produced by Netflix for Netflix.

That's... a really cool idea for a setting. I kinda want this on a tv show now.

that "Bright: The Album" coming soon tho....
looks like Ayer really likes releasing albums alongside his movies now with a bunch of popular artists lol.
it fit suicide squad's marketing but it just doesn't work here. although I liked hearing Lil Uzi (I think?) there for a second. that pop song throughout the trailer is trash though, and makes this corny movie look even worse.
looks stupid but because it's on Netflix it requires minimal commitment to watch and I'll check it out. Hopefully if people respond well to it we get a good Alien Nation remake for tv. the potential behind this concept guys....

This has the roots of a franchise in it's midst. Third one could be about Will's daughter and in the cyberpunk future. Full Shadowrun.

I like the visuals and the general concept. I'll definitely check it out.
What I'd really like to see is the movie do well enough to take the world/lore and flesh it out in a Netflix Series. Probably with different leads, as I don't think Will would be up to doing the TV thing at this stage of his life. But the main thing is that the world looks interesting enough that I'd like to see it developed.

I was thinking it was closer to a modern-day Garret P.I., which is basically the reverse Dresden Files - ordinary man in a fantasy world. I'm pretty sure it/Glenn Cook were an inspiration for Dresden.
I mean i was really thinking "stealth Shadowrun movie", but yeah.

I didn't know what to expect but I wasn't expecting this.
Reminds me of "End of Watch"... But with Orcs and Elves.

It's David Ayer (Training Day, Harsh Times, Street Kings, and End of Watch) so that's why.
