The only way out is together.
Filmed and set during the ongoing pandemic, the Michael Bay-produced Songbird has been previewed today with first-look photos and poster art courtesy of Entertainment Weekly.
But first, a little bit about the Adam Mason-directed movie…
The press release had detailed, “At its heart, Songbird is a love story. Told from street level through the eyes of the characters, Songbird takes place two years into the future, as lockdown has been re-implemented after a more serious virus continues to mutate. In a feeble attempt to keep the sickness contained, the city has been bisected into haves and have nots. The film centers around an essential worker who has a rare immunity, a delivery man who delivers goods and hope throughout the city.
“Like the vast majority of the population, his girlfriend is locked within her home, and the couple have no ability to physically be together. To be with the one he loves, our hero must overcome martial law, murderous vigilantes and a powerful, well connected family, helmed by a matriarch who will stop at nothing to protect her family and maintain her way of life. Songbird is a story about the resilience of the human spirit and the idea that hope is worth fighting for.”
EW provides some more insights into the storyline today: “Songbird is set in 2024, where COVID-23 has mutated (the mortality rate is over 50 percent and the virus kills at an accelerated rate) to the point that the world is in its fourth year of lockdown, and infected Americans are forced from their homes and into quarantine camps.”
