Whatever you do… don’t open your eyes. A brand new international spinoff movie set in the world of 2018 hit Bird Box, Bird Box Barcelona will premiere on July 14.
Entertainment Weekly has debuted a brand new teaser trailer this morning, while also confirming that Bird Box Barcelona is not a prequel. Rather, the events of the film are unfolding at the very same time as the original Bird Box movie… in a very different part of the world.
Producer Dylan Clark tells EW, “The events that we see Malorie/Sandra Bullock endure in the original Bird Box are happening at the same time that Sebastian/Mario Casas is going through his journey. Being in Barcelona gave us a chance to see how surviving this intense threat in an iconic city poses different challenges.”
Watch the official Bird Box Barcelona teaser trailer below.
This first spinoff movie will be a Spanish-language thriller set in Barcelona. The Occupant and The Head filmmakers Alex and David Pastor wrote and directed the film.
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 star in Bird Box Barcelona.
“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.”
Bird Box producers Dylan Clark and Chris Morgan are returning for the Spanish language movie, 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.
Starring Sandra Bullock, Bird Box premiered on Netflix back in 2018, becoming a massive hit for the streamer. In the film, “Five years after an ominous unseen presence drives most of society to suicide, a mother and her two children make a desperate bid to reach safety.”
Bird Box was based on the same-titled novel written by Josh Malerman.
