Andres Muschietti’s MAMA has been successful enough to seemingly turn into a franchise with a sequel currently in development. While it is probably unlikely that Muschietti will return to direct that, he now does have a new project on his slate. BIRD BOX is based on an unreleased book by Josh Malerman and it is centred on ‘a blindfolded threesome comprised of a woman and two children who make their way down a river in a seemingly postapocalyptic setting’.
The story has been described as being in the vein of CHILDREN OF MEN & THE OTHERS which bodes fairly well. It sounds like an interesting story, although one begs the question as to why the hell they’re all blindfolded. We’ll bring you any future updates here on THN as they are announced.
