Michael Bay Will Co-produce A Pandemic-based Thriller

The famous director of the blockbuster action series "Transformers" is launching a new movie project called "Songbird". The film will be about a mutant coronavirus.

According to the Deadline, Michael Bay is one of the producers for “Songbird”. Sitting on the director's chair is Adam Mason. The screenplay will be co-created by Mason and Simon Boyes based on the current Coronavirus pandemic. Songbird will take place in the near future, probably in 2022, in a fantasy world where the coronavirus has mutated and prolonged quarantine has created negative consequences causing society to fall into a new crisis.

Songbird's presentation is thought to be similar to the two series “Paranormal Activity” and “Cloverfield”. Michael Bay's film will likely be a series of video calls made by a group of people who are split up in different places - a typical format of the found footage genre. The film will start shooting once the scenes are set, and actors won't have face to face interaction during the process.
