Não, Bright não é baseado em nenhum livro.
Bright é um trabalho original no sentido de que não é uma adaptação de um romance com um nome ou premissa similar, como Blade Runner e Androids Dream < em> O Senhor dos Anéis e O Senhor dos Anéis ou Chegada e História da sua vida .
É um roteiro original, escrito por Max Landis, que depois passou por uma guerra de lances no estúdio, antes de a Netflix ganhar os direitos.
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 coloca isso em um mundo de fantasia típico:
"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."

Quanto à recomendação de um romance (que está oculto) @Broklynite e dois usuários no reddit sugerem 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.
