Director Michael Bay is cashing in on the increasingly viral pandemic movie craze with a new thriller about a virus that never goes away. The Paramount film’s announcement comes just as world governments are starting to reopen in anticipation of the end of the coronavirus pandemic. The movie, entitled “Songbird,” will purportedly depict a world just two years in the future where the pandemic has mutated into something even worse after lockdowns are lifted prematurely. “Songbird” will be rife with “government conspiracy and paranoia” much like a former pandemic thriller called, “Contagion.” The movie will be shot in downtown Los Angeles in about five weeks.
