A lot has happened with the new Suicide Squad film this week.

In addition to the hiring of James Gunn, who will be penning the script with a possible option to direct, original Suicide Squad director David Ayer spoke highly of the hiring, while Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista has expressed interest in starring the film. More on these two reports below.

Netflix finally released Bright recently, and reactions have been mixed. Some love it, some hate it. It’s currently sitting at 28% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes based on the reviews of 80 critics. On the other hand, audiences on Rotten Tomatoes have it at 88% based on almost 14,800 user ratings. Basically, as is usually the case, it’s best to watch and decide for yourself.

No matter what the opinions of Bright are, it’s been a big hit for Netflix. According to them it’s one of the biggest originals they’ve ever launched, TV series included, and it had the highest-viewed opening week for an original film on the service. It’s also the top movie on Netflix in over 190 countries.

Because of all of this, Netflix has announced that a sequel to the movie is now in the works. More on this and a video to announce the sequel below.

Netflix has not been shy about promoting Bright, the much-anticipated humans, orcs, and elves dark fantasy flick starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton. They’ve already released two official trailers, a teaser trailer, and a featurette. And now, a little over a week from release, a third official trailer has been shared.

The movie is directed by David Ayer, and written by Max Landis. It also stars Noomi Rapace, Edgar Ramírez, Ike Barinholtz, Lucy Fry, Margaret Cho, and Jay Hernandez.

Netflix is pushing their upcoming original movie Bright hard. And with good reason. It’s a big budget project, directed by David Ayer (Suicide Squad, End of Watch) and featuring an impressive cast which includes Will Smith (Bad Boys, Men in Black), Joel Edgerton (Black Mass, Warrior), Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Prometheus), Edgar Ramírez (Deliver Us from Evil, Wrath of the Titans), Ike Barinholtz (Suicide Squad, Neighbors), Lucy Fry (11.22.63, Mr. Church), Margaret Cho (Drop Dead Diva, One Missed Call), and Jay Hernandez (Hostel, Suicide Squad).

It’s a movie you’d expect to see opening in theaters everywhere…if any big Hollywood studios would ever actually greenlight such a strange concept. The movie is set in an alternative history Los Angeles, in which humans live alongside mythical creatures like orcs, elves, and fairies.

Netflix has released a second official trailer for the movie, which you can find below along with a synopsis.

Netflix has released a new inside look featurette for Bright, their upcoming original movie directed by David Ayer (Suicide Squad, End of Watch) and starring Will Smith (Bad Boys, Men in Black) and Joel Edgerton (Black Mass, Warrior).

The movie is set in an alternate present day Los Angeles, where humans co-exist with fantastical creatures like orcs, elves, and fairies. You can read a little bit more about the movie and check out the new featurette below.

Zack Snyder and his wife, producer Deborah Snyder, have been a part of the DCEU creative force since the very beginning. In fact, Zack Snyder has been a major presence having directed Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, some of Suicide Squad, and was an executive producer and/or writer for Wonder Woman and Aquaman. But it appears that the filmmaker’s creative input could be minimized significantly as the DCEU moves forward.

According to new reports, the Snyders “will no longer have anything like the level of creative influence that got the franchise to this point.” More on the story below.

David Ayer knows how to tell a story about cops in Los Angeles. In fact, most of his films are about cops in the City Of Angels. So it comes as no surprise that Bright, his follow-up to Suicide Squad, features Will Smith as an L.A.P.D. officer. But what separates this particular film from the rest is that Smith’s character is partnered up with an orc named Jakoby (played by Joel Edgerton). That’s because Bright takes place in a world where humans co-exist with fairies, orcs, and other monstrous creatures that usually go bump in the night.

Though the two don’t get along at first, they are forced to put their differences aside when a magic wand surfaces, and everyone is out to get it so they can have their wishes granted. Check out the trailer here below.

The phrase “left due to creative differences” gets thrown around a lot in the film industry. We recently saw how much of an impact it has when Phil Lord and Chris Miller left the untitled Han Solo film.
And it’s not the last time we will ever hear the phrase.

Case in point, Suicide Squad director David Ayer, who is walking away from the Scarface remake for that very reason. More on the story below.

Warner Bros.’ DC Extended Universe got off to a rocky start. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad has given the vast majority the confidence the franchise needs to believe that it can compete with Marvel Studios. Still, early reactions to Wonder Woman have given us some assurance that there can be a decent DCEU film. James Wan is behind the lens for Aquaman. And despite some of the creative fallout, The Batman seems to be headed in the right direction now that Matt Reeves is the director.

Now there is word that Warner Bros. wants to start shooting a DC film this year. With The Batman set for a possible 2018 shoot, the rumor is that the studio has narrowed it down to five possible choices. Check out which film it could be here below.

Netflix has released a teaser for their fantasy-meets-reality original movie Bright, which stars Will Smith as a cop on patrol in an alternate present-day in which humans, elves, orcs, and fairies live among each other.

The movie comes from Fury and Suicide Squad director David Ayer, who re-unites with Smith for the project. The teaser is brief, only running a little over 30 seconds in length, but does include some good peeks at the strange and intriguing movie.
