The film will be directed by Susanne Bier, one-time Best Foreign Film Academy Award winner, one-other-time woman responsible for utter trainwreck Serena.
She starred in Our Brand Is Crisis and lent her vocals to Minions in 2013, which means the last time anybody actually saw her face (sorry, Our Brand Is Crisis) was in 2013’s Gravity.

Bullock has made herself the latest addition to Netflix’s deep roster of talent in signing onto Bird Box, a feature set for release on the online streaming platform.
