Netflix just got something big as it is all set to fund the newest film from Will Smith and his 'Suicide Squad' director David Ayer.
Titled 'Bright,' the story's so far been described as a supernatural cop thriller and sources revealed that the film will strike a tone similar to Ayer's own 'End of Watch,' reports the Independent.
Netflix has to bid 100 million dollars to get Sony and Warner Bros off the race.
It is the largest amount of money the company has ever splashed out on with a film, even after their high-profile deal for Adam Sandler's 'The Ridiculous Six.'
The commencement of the flick has not been announced yet.
