Director David Ayer Talks BRIGHT in Exclusive Interview Desde Hollywood had the pleasure of speaking with Director David Ayer (End of Watch, Suicide Squad) about his latest film BRIGHT, an exciting mashup of cop and fantasy genres. The movie stars Will Smith (Men in Black), Joel Edgerton (The Great Gatsby), Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Lucy Fry (11.22.63), and Edgar Ramirez (Hands of Stone, Zero Dark Thirty). BRIGHT is available now, exclusively on Netflix. Set in an alternate present-day where humans, orcs, elves, and fairies have been co-existing since the beginning of time. Bright is genre-bending action movie that follows two cops from very different backgrounds. Ward (Will Smith) and Jakoby (Joel Edgerton), embark on a routine patrol night and encounter a darkness that will ultimately alter the future and their world as they know it.
