Most of its strength emerges from a well-directed ensemble, one able to convey the high concept of a nightmarish situation without losing their relatable humanity.
Undercooked metaphors about motherhood and a mishandled climax aside, there’s enough to like in Susanne Bier’s “Bird Box,” premiering on Netflix after a limited theatrical release today. How’s this year’s cinematic sci-fi stocking stuffer, "Bird Box"? It’s imperfect, but you probably won’t be returning it. So, apparently, futuristic action movies are now going to be what the company gives us for Christmas every year. But to me, I said this is the story I want to tell and I want this human being to be my ride or die in this process.Last year, Netflix dropped the high-budget “ Bright” just before the holidays and it turned out to be a pretty massive sci-fi hit for the company, even if critics hated it. “I walked away and I said, ‘If we don’t cast him, if we don’t make this deal, I’m just gonna…’ I was very dramatic,” said Sandra Bullock.
Sandra says she was so sure about having Trevante Rhodes playing her leading man that she threatened not to tod the project if he wasn’t hired. You also want that leading man to be someone you trust with your children.” You want your leading man to be the leading man that you want to just ride off into the sunset with.
I mean, the talent was already there, we saw that, but then you meet this human being and… it’s the movies. You know, it’s a human being that hears you, who respects you, you felt his connection to the ground and to the greater. Sandra continues, “We were all in Moonlight heaven at that time and we sat down… I remember where he sat, I remember how he looked, and it’s how he is right now.
