Michael Bay, whose movie 6 Underground recently hit Netflix, is getting to work on a "pandemic-themed thriller" titled Songbird with co-producer Adam Goodman, Deadline reports. Production is set to begin in just five weeks with actors receiving "remote training" before actually beginning to shoot in Los Angeles. The fast tracked timeline, while obviously optimistic considering Los Angeles's current shelter in place order, may make Songbird the first movie to shoot in the city post-pandemic.

Interestingly, no one involved in Songbird would comment on exactly how the movie plans to shoot during a time with such strict safety protocols in place, or exactly what the production's own safety plans would be, but Deadline's report mentions sources saying that Songbird has "screened their plans" by the various guilds and unions involved in movie production in LA and have been given the all-clear.
