Director Susanne Bier has responded to comparisons drawn between her film and A Quiet Place.
She told Polygon: “We were shooting [in April 2018] when we had heard of A Quiet Place and we were almost finished editing when it came out.
“I think also what is one of the reasons why it keeps being compared to is … yes, they are post-apocalyptic thrillers, both of them, but more relevant is that they both have female protagonists, and so few movies with female protagonists.
“And mothers. So they kind of tend to be compared.

“I think A Quiet Place is a great movie, but they’re very different.”
Susanne also explained Bird Box very quickly after getting Sandra Bullock involved.
She said: “So I got told that I should read the script relatively fast because it was something which could happen pretty fast, and Sandra Bullock was interested in starring.
“She and I met a few times and talked about working together. I got very interested in it.
“There was something really compelling about her playing that sort of woman who is not particularly accessible.
“She’s brutal, she’s harsh, she doesn’t talk nicely to the kids, but she wants to then to survive at any price, and I felt that her playing that part would just be really interesting.
“So I read it and expressed my interest and then at the same time it kind of moved from one of the studios to Netflix and then it happened very fast.”
Bird Box is available to watch on Netflix now.
