A forthcoming pandemic-themed film made by Transformers producer Michael Bay has been given the green light after it was initially given a “do not work” order.
Songbird, a movie centred on a coronavirus-style pandemic, was issued an order by the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) last week.
However, the organisation later posted a statement: “SAG-AFTRA has rescinded its Do Not Work order for the feature film Songbird, produced by On a Lark Productions, LLC, and members are free to work on this production effective immediately.”
Songbird stars Demi Moore, Craig Robinson and Paul Walter Hauser.
As of June 12, 2020, film and television productions have been allowed to resume in Los Angeles County with strict rules. These include the cleaning of props and sets, testing of on-set employees and social distancing. A coronavirus-compliance officer is also required to be employed.
