Songbird — Official Trailer

added: Thu, Oct 29th '20

Check out the official trailer for "Songbird," a Michael Bay-produced pandemic thriller set four years into a mandatory quarantine where infected citizens are being placed in quarantine camps.

Actually filmed months ago during the COVID-19 lockdown in Los Angeles, the film stars "Riverdale" actor KJ Apa and "Descendants" actress Sofia Carson as a young LA couple who are physically separated due to the quarantine. In this not-too-distant future, it seems COVID-19 has mutated into a more severe strain of the virus, which is forcing stricter enforcement of government safety measures.

In addition to Apa and Carson, the cast also includes Bradley Whitford, Alexandra Daddario, Demi Moore, Peter Stormare, Paul Walter Hauser, and Craig Robinson.

The thriller is directed and co-written by indie horror filmmaker Adam Mason (Alice in Chains: Black Antenna, Into the Dark: They Come Knocking, Hangman).

"Songbird" doesn't, as of yet, have an official release date, but is expected to be "coming soon" via STX films. Watch the trailer above.

synopsis:
Four years into quarantine the virus has changed and so have we...

In the terrifying thriller SONGBIRD, the COVID-23 virus has mutated and the world is in its fourth year of lockdown. Infected Americans are ripped from their homes and forced into quarantine camps known as Q-Zones, from which there is no escape, as a few brave souls fight back against the forces of oppression. Amid this dystopian landscape, a fearless courier, Nico (KJ Apa), who's immune to the deadly pathogen, finds hope and love with Sara (Sofia Carson), though her lockdown prohibits them from physical contact. When Sara is believed to have become infected, Nico races desperately across the barren streets of Los Angeles in search of the only thing that can save her from imprisonment ... or worse.

The first feature film to be made during COVID-19 in Los Angeles, and about the pandemic itself, SONGBIRD also stars Bradley Whitford and Demi Moore as a wealthy couple who may hold the key to Nico's mission; Alexandra Daddario as a singer enmeshed in a messy and forbidden affair; Paul Walter Hauser as a disabled veteran whose best friend -- a drone named Max -- is his eyes and ears to a world that has left him behind; Craig Robinson as Nico's boss; and Peter Stormare as the corrupt head of the city's "sanitation" department, which seizes those infected and transports them to the Q-Zone.
