Bright's new trailer really is Lord of the Rings meets COPS, here are 6 moments that prove it

Orcs. Elves. Fairies. Humans. The first trailer for Bright debuted at SDCC and has them all scattered across a grimy Los Angeles backdrop. This is a world where Will Smith's human and Joel Edgerton's orc work together as beat cops to keep the streets clean. 

Well, clean-ish.

It still looks to be a total nightmare, that's made all the more intriguing when their normal patrol turns into a fight for a mystical relic. Sounds like the fantastical characters of Tolkien mixed with the gritty edge of reality police shows, no? Here's the 6 bits that are proper LOTR meets COPS.

Poor Orcs having a conflicting time on the force. One minute it's a medal, the next it's ridicule! 

Cop. Orc. Jakoby's getting torn between his job and his people.

Flashlights, dimly-lit hallway, orc, human, charred remains.

Cops pursue an assailant with sought-after gear. Yeah, it's an elf with a magic wand.

"They don't teach that at the academy."

LAPD cop with a sword. 'Nuff said.

Keep your eyes peeled for more trailers straight out of San Diego Comic Con and mark down the Bright Netflix premiere in your diaries for December 22.
