Storywise, it would definitely have been a stretch too for Malorie to find herself in Spain, and randomly taking the plotline to NorCal would have likely felt out of place.
Bird box sequel movie#
I think that if you have watched the original probably then you get a fuller picture, and it makes the whole thing, maybe, more enjoyable, but it's also a standalone movie on its own.Īs Pastor shared, the filmmakers never even thought about including Sandra Bullock in Bird Box Barcelona because it’s a whole other movie that is not meant to be connected to the 2018 movie. But beyond that, we really had the freedom to come up with an original story that could stand on its own two feet, and that was one of the things that actually, as directors, attracted us to the project, this idea that you don't even have to have watched the original Bird Box to enjoy this movie, to be honest. With Bird Box as a bestseller and having penned a myriad of other books, including 2017’s Black Mad Wheel and 2019’s Inspection, it’s presumable that a sequel would be a no-brainer. We were not tied to the original movie beyond respecting the rules of the world and making sure that the movie was consistent with what happened in the first movie. I mean, the beauty about doing this sort of expansion of the franchise was that we had absolute freedom to just do whatever we wanted. No, I don't think that was ever discussed.
Directed and written by Álex Pastor and David Pastor. Co-directors David and Álex Pastor spoke to ComicBook about the decision not to connect the two Bird Box movies. Now comes Bird Box Barcelona, which is led by an entirely new cast and is set for a Friday, July 14 release. Bird Box Barcelona tells a parallel story of a dystopian world where a mysterious creature has turned the world into a place where people must blindfold themselves outside otherwise they’ll be coerced into suicide, with the latest movie taking place in Spain and following a man named Sebastián, rather than the original being set in Northern California and being about Bullock’s Malorie Hayes.
