Sandra Bullock may take part in George Clooney’s production venture, Our Brand Is Crisis

Gravity actress Sandra Bullock is reportedly engaged in early negotiations to star in George Clooney’s next production venture, Our Brand Is Crisis, which will be co-produced by Grant Heslov for Warner Bros.

After an insider confirmed the reports, Bullock’s publicist was sought to comment on the same but there was no response. Representatives for Warner Bros. and Clooney also didn’t comment. Our Brand Is Crisis is conceptualized from Rachel Boynton’s 2005 documentary, with focus on American political campaign strategies’ usage in Bolivia by President Clinton’s former consultants James Carville and Stan Greenberg. Though it’s still not certain if Clooney will co-star in the project or not. Clooney, who is busy giving final touches to Monuments Men, is not supposed to direct Our Brand Is Crisis, which was scripted by Peter Straughan of The Men Who Stare at Goats fame.

The project has been discussed by Bullock and Clooney in detail when they were involved in the promotional campaigns for Gravity. If the deal is finalised with Bullock, she would play Calamity Jane Bodine, a retired American political specialist. Last week at an event organised for August: Osage County, Heslov was asked about Bullock’s involvement with Our Brand of Crisis, to which he replied “I don’t know,” and his wife added “He can’t say!” On Wednesday Bullock received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for her performance in Gravity, which grossed $631 million worldwide. Recently Bullock also starred along with Melissa McCarthy in The Heat, which raked in $229 million worldwide. The actress is also an Oscar winner for her work in The Blind Side.
