can reveal. It’s believed there’s been strong interest on the continent, and that a number of U.S. distributors are also circling the film, which was shopped to buyers this past week.

Principal cast includes Demi Moore, Craig Robinson, Paul Walter Hauser and Peter Stormare. ICM Partners and Endeavor Content are handling worldwide sales. Produced by Adam Goodman and Eben Davidson’s Invisible Narratives in partnership with Bay and Catchlight Studios, “Songbird” is set two years in the future, where a pandemic rages on, continuing to mutate and wreak havoc around the world.

Songbird sounds too much like a low-key transformers soft reboot

Give me a fucking break.

Nooo thank you

Please tell me the Transformers are gunna show up.

It’ll probably be called Heineken Virus...

Is it gonna be a virus that causes people to spontaneously combust and/or explode?

Why do you have TWO WHITE people and only ONE BLACK people on that picture? Are you racists?

What's with Bay's Dutchboy Paints haircut?

Very very why

It would SHOCK you if you knew how science fiction writers predicted future events.

To be honest Michael Bay is not really great at producing movies unlike every horror remake he produced are really bad and terrible movies.

Oh, I’ll be running to see it. As if living in the midst of this horror isn’t enough.

The very strange thing is America will save the world LOL.

Michael Bay doing a pandemic movie? Oh boy. What bomb he will use to kill Covid 19? who will be the hero to shoot Covid 19? My vote is Mark Wahlberg

Will the plot be unemployed drill rig workers being trained as astronauts?

By the time this comes out, I just don’t see a drastically thinned national/global, grieving and weary audience needing to process their anxiety and adrenaline through a movie magic version of the thriller they were lucky to survive.

This cannot turn out well.

Lol no thx

Michael Bay sucks

Hollywood are gonna be producing pandemic films for the next couple years. Maybe I should write and direct one?

all degenerates

Why? The man needs to go away.

Somebody follow me I will follow back ❤️👍

michaelbay Pass.

No thanks.

We are currently living in hell and they want me to watch a movie about a worse hell? Hmm, I’m gonna take a pass. I highly recommend watching Contagion where a vaccine is developed and the world lives happily ever after.

Pass pass pass pass pass

Michael Bay is a pedo

I wonder what the explosions budget is.
