Netflix Inks Game-Changing Deal for Will Smith Film

Deadline: A two-week bidding battle has finally ended and Netflix has won “Bright,” a Max Landis- scripted cop thriller with fantastical elements and tent pole potential that David Ayer will direct, with Will Smith and Joel Edgerton starring. This is a game changer: Netflix’s Ted Sarandos got a big ticket feature, and he paid a premium for it. Netflix is said to be investing north of $90 million in the entire package.
