Bird Box Barcelona gets a teaser trailer

Well, this surprised me. Netflix has released an announcement teaser for Bird Box Barcelona, a spinoff from the 2018 film that starred Sandra Bullock. and based on the novel by Josh Malerman.

After a mysterious force decimates the world’s population by causing all who see it to take their lives, Sebastian and his young daughter Anna must navigate their own journey of survival through the desolate streets of Barcelona. But as they form an uneasy alliance with other survivors and make their way toward a safe haven, a threat more sinister than the unseen creatures grows.

The Spanish language film is written and directed by Alex and David Pastor. The film stars Mario Casas, Georgina Campbell, Diego Calva, Alejandra Howard, Naila Schuberth, Patrick Criado, Celia Freijeiro with Lola Dueñas, Gonzalo de Castro, Michelle Jenner and Leonardo Sbaraglia.

I am not sure if there was any need for this film or if it will be much different from the original. The first film was a big hit for Netflix so it is no surprise they are doing something more in the same universe. Who knows? Maybe they will have a different spin on it. I wonder if we will get to see the creatures this time?

Bird Box producers Dylan Clark and Chris Morgan are returning for the film, alongside Adrián Guerra and Núria Valls for Nostromo Pictures.

Executive producers are Susanne Bier, Josh Malerman, Ryan Lewis, Ainsley Davies for Chris Morgan Productions and Brian Williams for Dylan Clark Productions.

The film hits Netflix on 14th July 2023.
