You ever hear the one about the cop, the songbird, the psycho and the mafia princess? âBirds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)â is a twisted tale told by Harley herself, as only Harley can tell it. When Gothamâs most nefariously narcissistic villain, Roman Sionis, and his zealous right-hand, Zsasz, put a target on a young girl named Cass, the city is turned upside down looking for her. Harley, Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoyaâs paths collide, and the unlikely foursome have no choice but to team up to take Roman down.
In the Warner Bros. Pictures film, Margot Robbie (âI, Tonyaâ) returns as Harley Quinn, alongside Mary Elizabeth Winstead (â10 Cloverfield Lane,â TVâs âFargoâ) as Huntress; Jurnee Smollett-Bell (HBOâs âTrue Bloodâ) as Black Canary; Rosie Perez (âFearless,â âPitch Perfect 2â) as Renee Montoya; Chris Messina (âArgo,â TVâs âSharp Objectsâ) as Victor Zsasz; and Ewan McGregor (upcoming âDoctor Sleep,â the âTrainspottingâ films) as Roman Sionis. Newcomer Ella Jay Basco also stars as Cassandra âCassâ Cain in her feature film debut.
Directed by Cathy Yan (âDead Pigsâ) from a script by Christina Hodson (âBumblebeeâ), the film is based on characters from DC. Robbie also produced, alongside Bryan Unkeless and Sue Kroll. The filmâs executive producers are Walter Hamada, Galen Vaisman, Geoff Johns, Hans Ritter and David Ayer.
Joining Yan behind the scenes was a creative team comprised of director of photography Matthew Libatique (âA Star Is Born,â âVenomâ); production designer K.K. Barrett (âHerâ); editor Jay Cassidy (âAmerican Hustle,â âSilver Linings Playbookâ) and editor Evan Schiff (âJohn Wick Chapters 2 & 3â); and costume designer Erin Benach (âA Star Is Bornâ). The music is by Daniel Pemberton (âSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseâ).
