Surely many have already heard about the film "Birds of Prey", the premiere of which is planned for mid-2020. There is no reference to Hitchcock here (the fantastic thriller The Birds, 1963): the picture will tell about the adventures of the DC Comics superheroines - Harley Quinn, Black Canary and the Huntress. Also, Batgirl Cassandra Kane and detective Rene Montoya, nicknamed Queschen, will join this women's team.
Plot
Margot Robbie posted on her social network a photo of the title page of the script, which says the original name of the future film (Birds of Prey), and below the pen is attributed “And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn”, which translates as “The incredible emancipation of a certain Harley Quinn” . So the actress made it clear to intrigued viewers that the film "Birds of Prey" will be not only about the struggle of superheroes with the forces of universal evil, but also about the formation of Harley Quinn as an independent person. She got rid of a sick love for the Joker and is ready to prove to herself and the world that she can do much without him.
The birds of prey will speak against one of Batman's ardent opponents - the Black Mask. This criminal boss has conceived the next nasty thing that beautiful and dangerous beauties will have to prevent. The film has just begun its production, but it is already known that it will be assigned category R. In the American rating system, this means that only birds over 17 years old, or teenagers accompanied by their parents, can watch Birds of Prey. What does Robbie plan to stuff the film with obscene language, erotic scenes or episodes of gross physical abuse?
The film with a female bias
The highlight of the film “Birds of Prey” is that the main characters are female superheroes, which was not there before. Of course, the ladies were present in various fantasies, but they were always part of the male group. Birds of Prey is a story about a purely female team that will fight injustice with the help of not only its superpowers, but also charm, charm, attractiveness.
The film "Birds of Prey" will be female in terms of not only the main characters, but also the organization of the filming process. The script belongs to Christina Hodson (Bumblebee, 2018), the director will be Katie Yan (Dead Pigs, 2018), and the picture will be produced by Margot Robbie, who is known for her vivid roles (Suicide Squad, 2016, The Ended, 2018).
Chronology Features
There are always difficulties in shooting movies about DC Comics characters. They are connected with the chronology of events taking place in the fictional Universe, and the producers always worry that the film, where some hero dies, will be released earlier than the picture where the same character is alive and well.
In the case of Birds of Prey, it was decided not to adapt to other projects and make an independent film. The authors are sure that the viewer will understand everything correctly, because the plot and interesting development of events are more important than some chronological shortcomings. In addition, DC Comics is a fantastic world where anything can happen.
Rumor has it that Harley Quinn in “Birds of Prey” will appear without her bright tattoos, which she remembered from “Suicide Squad”.And her outfit will no longer resemble Harlequin. But Margot Robbie assures that her heroine’s costume will be extravagant and original, and guarantees that “in the near future, the audience will have a new look for Halloween.” After all, after the premiere of the film in 2016, a lot of girls dyed their hair in green and pink and picked up a bat.
Cast
For the role of superheroes, members of the bird of prey team, the actresses were selected for a long time. There was no doubt about Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie. But gradually the actresses were found. So, the merciless Helena Bertinelli, nicknamed The Huntress, will be played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Black Christmas, 2006, Destination 3, 2006, Something, 2011). The Huntress has her own accounts with the villains, because she is the daughter of one of the gotham mafia bosses, who was brutally killed.
For the role of the Black Canary, Dinah Lance was approved by Jernie Smollett (“Second Chance”, 2006, “Big Debaters”, 2007). Canary's superpower is to play sounds of incredible frequency, which can kill people and destroy metal structures. In addition, Dina Lance masterly owns hand-to-hand combat, capoeira and hapkido.
Young 12-year-old Ella Jay Basco will become Cassandra Kane. This is a teenage girl who owns martial arts and is distinguished by her agility and agility. Actress Rosie Perez (Pineapple Express, 2008, Games of the Gods, 2012) will play the female detective Kueschen, capable of changing the color of her hair and clothes.
The antagonist of the Bird of Prey squad, a villain nicknamed the Black Mask, will be played by actor Ewan McGregor ("I Love You, Philip Morris", 2008, all episodes of "Star Wars"). And this is a tricky move by the authors of the film, who understand that you need to conquer not only the male, but also the female part of the audience. Charming supervillain with the appearance of a Hollywood handsome is the dream of most girls.
The exact release date for Birds of Prey is unknown. Although some sources indicate that the premiere of the film will take place on February 20, 2020, while others say that the picture will be released on June 2, 2020. But it is too early to think ahead, because production has only just begun.
