Netflix is set to release 80 original next year — a stunning number, considering there were only 93 wide studio releases in 2016 — including Bright, with Suicide Squad director David Ayer at its helm. A new police drama starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton, the Ringer pointed out that this movie is a perfect visualization of what it would be like to see Bad Boys take place in Middle Earth. Check out the trailer above.
