It’s been a while since we heard news about a new project featuring Sandra Bullock. But according with Showbiz 411, Sandra agreed to star in “Bird Box,” directed by Susanne Bier (The Night Manager).

“Bird Box” is based on an apocalyptic type thriller novel by Josh Malerman published in 2014. Bullock would play main character Malorie, mother of a pair of 4 year olds, trying to survive in the post-apocalyptic age.

The book received mixed reviews, so hopefully the screenplay by Eric Heisserer will come up with something more satisfying. Dylan Clark and Clayton Townsend are producing. Back in 2013, there were reports of a different director and producers, but the property was sold to Universal.
