How the concept for Bright was decided
Max Landis was at home one night, flipping through broadcast TV channels.
He skips past Law & Order SVU reruns, as well as three other police-centered shows on other channels.
"So many cop shows. Boring..."
Then he skips past Once Upon A Time and Supernatural.
"So many fantasy-based shows and movies. DAMN. Boring."
Then he turns off the TV.
"Screw it, there's nothing on. I guess I'll just fire up a new script and mash those genres together. Nothing else to do."
The rest is history.
