‘Five Came Back’ Trailer Showcases Sacrifices of Hollywood Legends
Netflix continues its slow and steady coup against Hollywood with the first trailer for Five Came Back. Based on the book Five Came Back: A Story of Hollywood and the Second World War by Mark Harris, the three part documentary series explores the stories of five filmmakers—William Wyler, George Stevens, John Ford, Frank Capra, and John Houston—who left their lives to serve their country and who came back to tell the story through film. The series is narrated by Meryl Streep and features interviews with some of the top filmmakers of today, including Steven Spielberg, Guillermo del Toro, Francis Ford Coppola, and Lawrence Kasdan. Additionally, the documentaries discussed in the series will also be made available on the streaming service. Five Came Back premieres March 31 on Netflix.

First ‘Bright’ Teaser Shows Proof of Concept
Netflix also dropped the first teaser trailer for David Ayer’s (Suicide Squad, Fury) next film, Bright. Starring Will Smith (Concussion), Noomi Rapace (Prometheus), and Joel Edgerton (Loving), the film combines elements of high fantasy and urban realism to tell a tale of heroes and magic like you’ve never seen it. Smith plays a human cop forced to work with an orc to find a sword with a mystical power. Coming from the mind of screenwriter Max Landis, this has all the makings of being an interesting genre deconstruction. The trailer doesn’t reveal much but as a proof of concept, it works. I’m sure we’ll see more between now and it’s December release, so stay tuned for that.
