Suicide Squadwon an Oscar on Sunday—2017 is the Year of Nonsense—but despite acquiring some award polish, that movie didn’t really work out the way anyone wanted. Sure, it made money on paper, but no one likes it and time isn’t going to revise that one upward. Even its director, David “We Made This For The Fans” Ayer, admits to somebuyer’s remorse. But while there will inevitably be aSuicide Squad 2—because The Machine can never stop turning—in the meantime, everyone has to try to move on as best they can.

ForWill Smith, that includes re-teaming with Ayer for a movie written by Max Landis. You probably know Landis best as theguy whocan’t stop sh*tting on moviesstarring women, but once upon a time he was known primarily for being John Landis’s son, and also the writer of such films as纪事报,美国超,andVictor Frankenstein.His new screenplay, directed by Ayer and brought to you by Netflix, is calledBright,and it’s about an alternate reality—dimension?—where orcs and fairies live amongst humans. So basically it’sTrue Bloodbut with the LAPD.

The first teaser has been released, giving us a look at Smith as a sword-wielding LAPD officer, andNoomi Rapaceas some kind of elf or fairy, and I don’t know where乔尔·艾顿is, unless he’s the buck-toothed troll. This looks…interesting, to say the least. I am kind of into Will Smith at his wit’s end, dealing with a bunch of weird sh*t. Despite his douchebag ways, I quite like Landis as a writer. He goes for high-concept genre mash-ups, and if you can get a filmmaker to commit to his premise, you can get good movies out of him (see also:Chronicle). And Ayer, despite miscalculating pretty much everything about Suicide Squad, is REALLY good at cop movies—he madeEnd of Watch, and the underratedStreet Kings.

At the same time, I can certainly see why the studios passed andBrightended up at Netflix. Landis and Ayer have both stubbed their toes recently, and Will Smith isn’t having a ton of luck outside of franchises. Between that trio’s shaky reputation and the high-concept fantasy elements, Bright has BIG RISK stamped all over it. But for Netflix it offers A-lister appeal courtesy Smith, and they’re putting it out in December, so it will be your at-home option to Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Once everyone has spent their money on that, they’ll be looking for stuff to watch at home, and everyone knows Will Smith, guaranteeing Bright’s visibility. The question is whether or not Bright will be any good. For Will Smith’s sake, I hope so.
