Sandra Bullock is making a delightful return to the romantic comedy genre, a realm that catapulted her to stardom.
While she has recently delved into dramas like the blockbuster Bird Box and the intense Gravity, fans have eagerly awaited her comeback to the genre that endeared her to audiences. Now, their patience is rewarded.
The reunion we've been yearning for is with none other than Ryan Reynolds, marking 11 years since their last collaboration in The Proposal. In the 2009 romantic comedy, Bullock played a quirky woman who coerces her assistant, portrayed by Reynolds, to pose as her fiancé to navigate a visa-related predicament.
The excitement peaks with the announcement of their joint venture in a new film titled The Lost City of D, described as an action-packed romantic comedy. Paramount is steering this project, helmed by the directing duo of brothers Adam and Aaron Nee. Sandra Bullock not only takes on the lead role but also assumes the role of producer alongside Liza Chasin.
Expressing her enthusiasm for the project, Bullock shared with EW, "The idea that Paramount is willing to return to a genre we haven't seen in a while makes it all very exciting. We all need some action, escapism, and love right now. And if I have to humble myself on the screen to achieve that... then I will do it."
The Lost City of D, conceptualized by Seth Gordon, director of How to Get Rid of Your Boss, revolves around a romance novel writer (played by Bullock) who discovers that the fictional city she has been writing about is, in fact, real. Fueled by this revelation, she embarks on a journey to meet the city and the characters she brought to life in her stories. The anticipation is palpable as these two beloved actors team up once again to deliver a fresh and entertaining take on love, adventure, and humor.
