I’d never been to a screening room before and it was awesome: no previews, no nothing really - the lights went out and the movie started. The plan was to see it for the first time at the Los Angeles premiere, but I was way too nervous to see it for the first time, sitting two seats down from Sandra Bullock at Mann’s Chinese Theater, y’know? So I asked Netflix if I could get a screening two days before and they said yes, and we watched it in a screening room in their building. When was the first time you saw the finished film in its entirety? I feel like I’m standing at the head of a wind tunnel, but that wind is warm.
From the reviews to the memes, the articles that dig deep into the meaning of the creatures and the ones that don’t. Susanne Bier and Netflix created something that’s having us all ask how movies are made, promoted, viewed, and talked about. I could give you many examples of how unprepared I was for this because who could prepare for this? When you get a book optioned for film, you of course fantasize or at least imagine a scenario in which it’s a hit, right? But this is different somehow. What has it been like to see the incredible success of “Bird Box”?
