Netflix to Ink Biggest Movie Deal Yet for Sci-Fi Thriller

Hollywood Reporter: In its biggest movie deal yet, Netflix is looking to get into the film business with Will Smith and David Ayer. The company has come out on top of the bidding war and is in negotiations for “Bright,” a magic-infused cop thriller that has Will Smith and Joel Edgerton attached to star and “Suicide Squad” director David Ayer attached to direct. Netflix has been making aggressive strides into movie content, but for the most part, its efforts have been modestly scaled.
