News: Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) Teaser Trailer

Although this is a leak of a teaser trailer that you can practically find it anywhere online, it is very much worth watching.  I was excited to finally get a sneak peak at this project! And while the beginning of this teaser is clearly a clever nod toward IT Chapter Two that opens this weekend Harley Quinn is back and this time she brought some friends to start some mischief in Gotham without Joker!

Birds of Prey Synopsis:

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is an upcoming American superhero film based on the DC Comics team Birds of Prey.

The film is directed by Cathy Yan from a screenplay by Christina Hodson and stars Margot Robbie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Rosie Perez, Chris Messina, Ella Jay Basco, and Ewan McGregor. Birds of Prey follows Harley Quinn as she joins forces with Black Canary, the Huntress, and Renee Montoya to save Cassandra Cain from Gotham City crime lord Black Mask.

Robbie, who also serves as producer, pitched the idea for Birds of Prey to Warner Bros. in 2015. The film was announced in May 2016; Hodson was hired to write the script that November, while Yan signed on to direct in April 2018. The majority of the cast and crew were confirmed by December 2018. Principal photography lasted from January to April 2019 and took place in Downtown Los Angeles, parts of the Arts District, Los Angeles, and soundstages at Warner Bros. studios in Burbank, California. Birds of Prey is expected to be the first theatrically released R-rated DCEU film.
