The feature film “Songbird” began production in Los Angeles today, marking the first motion picture to begin filming there since the City of Angels went into lockdown in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Michael Bay-produced film, described as a “pandemic thriller,” stars Bradley Whitford, Jenna Ortega, Demi Moore, Craig Robinson, Paul Walter Hauser and Peter Stormare.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Songbird” is “set two years in the future, when a virus vaccine remains elusive,” and is one of the first upcoming projects to use the ongoing pandemic as part of its storyline.
