Wearing masks has now become the new normal and staying indoors has always been the need of the hour during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, it has been really tough for actors to work and they are forced to live under a “bio-bubble” in which no other person can come from outside to meet them. Taking inspiration from the same, filmmaker Judd Apatow is set to release his next movie on Netflix that will focus on the lives of actors trying to shoot a movie while living in a bubble.

Titled ‘The Bubble’, the movie revolves around a group of actors who are the principal cast members of an upcoming action movie. Due to Covid-19, the stars are forced to live together and complete the movie about flying dinosaurs for the public. They are doing this to help the world forget about all the problems caused by the pandemic.
