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.
Prior to Songbird, Covid-19 was narrated on the screen of “Corona”. The independent film has been perfected since before many countries declared quarantine policies. However, Michael Bay's project will be the first to be shot in Los Angeles while the state has yet to lift the distancing.
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.
Rumors also revealed that Songbird wouldn’t have a supernatural element, but the panic and conspiracy theories in the community would spark violent violence in the film. This incident may be an opportunity for Michael Bay to showcase his strength in staging explosion scenes.
The production stage of “Songbird” is at its earliest stages, as the plot still remains a secret, and casting for the main cast is underway. “Songbird” may succeed to satisfy the audience’s curiosity about a darker and more chaotic than the version of reality we’re experiencing.
