Nej, Bright är inte baserat på någon bok.
Bright är ett originalarbete i den meningen att det inte är en anpassning av en roman med liknande namn eller premiss som Blade Runner och Gör Androids Dream , < em> Ringenes Herre och Ringenes Herre eller Ankomst och Historien om ditt liv . p>
Det är ett originalt manus, skriven av Max Landis, som sedan gick igenom ett studio-budkrig, innan Netflix vann rättigheterna.
Written as a "spec" script by brash, social media-loving screenwriter phenom Max Landis, Bright sparked a movie studio bidding war last March before selling to Netflix for $4 million (with an overall $90 million production commitment by the streaming service
What Is Will Smith's New Netflix Movie, Bright?
Landis sätter den i en typisk fantasiverden:
"It's a fantasy film," Landis said, between sips of a mojito. "Dungeons and Dragons, Lord of the Rings, Warcraft, Game of Thrones—it's that type of world, American mythic archetypal fantasy. But it takes place right now."
"Those worlds, whatever they may have been, were biblical times," he continued. "Everyone knows there was a dark lord and he rose and he fell and all the races united. Now you're you, I'm me, that woman over there is a centaur and it's not a big deal. They're not a big percentage of the population, there's word of them becoming rarer and rarer and getting all sorts of hereditary diseases. But you know what? Until then, there's a centaur billionaire, there's a centaur CEO. Everyone knows orcs. Everyone knows goblins. Everyone knows elves and dwarves. All of these various races that live among us."

Det har varit starkt marknadsfört som ett Netflix-original, och medan det kan inspireras av olika bitar av fantasy och "kompisar" -filmer, är det ett original skriven av Max Landis.
När det gäller rekommendationen av en roman (vilken är dold) föreslår @Broklynite och två användare på reddit Shadowrun .
I mean... yes and no. No not any one particular book but yes it's clearly influenced by Shadowrun. Which is itself Gibson's stuff with trolls
Comment by Broklynite under questionIt's downright suspicious how similar the world in that trailer is to the Shadowrun RPG setting. Shadowrun has a whole lot of tie-in novels, but from what I understand most of them are at a 'fun if dumb read' at best, like most tie-in fiction.
I would suggest, and highly recommend, buying yourself the Shadowrun Dragonfall (and if you enjoy that one Shadowrun Hong Kong. Skip Shadowrun Returns) video game.
