It was Shadowrun lite, which is awesome. Now that they have a movie that rates well with normies, they can go deeper and expand (and probably even make a series out of it).
A lot of settings that are actually interesting only really work as long-form episodes--Babylon 5 or Angel for example would've been a garbage movie.
Bright was essentially a large pilot. I'd be really interested in seeing what the production side of the house is learning.
I respectfully disagree. I love both urban fantasy and Shadowrun and was really looking forward to the movie as it should have been practically made for me. And I found it unredeemably terrible.

Like objectively it’s a bad movie but my inner shadowrun playing 15 year old loved it.
