First Trailer for the Michael Bay Pandemic Thriller SONGBIRD
STX Films has released the first trailer for the Michael Bay-produced pandemic thriller Songbird. The movie made headlines when it became the first film to be shot during the COVID-19 outbreak in Los Angeles.
For those of you who are totally stressed out over our current situation, this movie is not the kind of escapism you are looking for. It just gives a vision of a very grim and dark future of a pandemic that has not gone away. It looks like a well-made and intense film! It’s just not the kind of story you might not want to see in our current situation. It kinda takes the entertainment value out of it.
The story is set four years into quarantine due to a virus and that virus has changed and so have we. The synopsis reads:
In the terrifying thriller SONGBIRD, the COVID-23 virus has mutated and the world is in its fourth year of lockdown. Infected Americans are ripped from their homes and forced into quarantine camps known as Q-Zones, from which there is no escape, as a few brave souls fight back against the forces of oppression. Amid this dystopian landscape, a fearless courier, Nico (KJ Apa), who’s immune to the deadly pathogen, finds hope and love with Sara (Sofia Carson), though her lockdown prohibits them from physical contact. When Sara is believed to have become infected, Nico races desperately across the barren streets of Los Angeles in search of the only thing that can save her from imprisonment ... or worse.
Songbird also stars Bradley Whitford and Demi Moore as a wealthy couple who may hold the key to Nico’s mission; Alexandra Daddario as a singer enmeshed in a messy and forbidden affair; Paul Walter Hauser as a disabled veteran whose best friend – a drone named Max – is his eyes and ears to a world that has left him behind; Craig Robinson as Nico’s boss; and Peter Stormare as the corrupt head of the city’s “sanitation” department, which seizes those infected and transports them to the Q-Zone.
The film was directed by Adam Mason, and it’s said to be “coming soon.”
