Earthquake Bird is a 2019 psychological thriller film written and directed by Wash Westmoreland based on the 2001 novel of the same name by Susanna Jones.
In 1989 Tokyo, Japan, Lucy Fly is a young Swedish immigrant who is working as a translator at a manufacturing company, and is suspected of murder when her American friend Lily Bridges goes missing.
The plot is sometimes shown in flashbacks, including some of Lucy's childhood, as well as scenes of her romantic relationship with Teiji and friendship with Lily.
Michael Schaefer, Michael Pruss, Ann Ruark, Georgina Pope will produce the film, while Ridley Scott will serve as an executive producer on the film, under their Scott Free Productions and Twenty First City banners, respectively, with Amazon Studios originally set to distribute.
The website's critical consensus reads, "Riley Keough and Alicia Vikander give it their all, but Earthquake Bird suffers from a frustrating inability to bring its literary source material consistently to life.
