Netflix To Make Bright Sequel With Will Smith

New York - Despite scathing reviews from critics, Netflix has greenlit a sequel to Bright, with star Will Smith and director David Ayer expected to return. Bright is Netflix's first big-budget, tentpole-style release, with estimates that it cost at least $90m to produce. With a sequel, Netflix hopes to turn Bright into its first film franchise — the kind Hollywood studios rely on. But it will be doing so with one of the worst reviewed films of the year.
