This one might hit a little close to home. Director Michael Bay is cashing in on the increasingly viral pandemic movie craze with a bleak 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 scourge.

The dystopian downer, 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, reports Deadline.

Not much is disclosed beyond that, however the apocalyptic flick will reportedly be in the vein of films like “Cloverfield” and “Paranormal Activity,” sans the supernatural elements.
