The hailstorm of negative reviews had barely brushed our doorsteps before Netflix made an announcement — THE announcement: Bright 2 is coming.
The only major player who won’t be returning is screenwriter Max Landis, whose script for Bright sold to Netflix for a reported $3-$4 million.
Netflix has officially greenlit a sequel to Bright, the streaming service’s very first big-budget (a reported $90 million) action-fantasy movie it made all on its own.
But, despite the unanimous negative reaction from critics on account of it being so, so bad, it’s impossible to call Bright a failure.
