In The Lost City of D, Wait Channing Tatum and dream. Or he will soon be enough, as the actor is reportedly in talks to star with Sandra Bullock on Paramount’s action-romantic comedy. According to Deadline, the actor plays a romance cover model (we can now imagine the Fabio wig) that accompanies Bullock’s withdrawn, reluctant novelist on a book tour. As irritated as the author of Bullock may be, she’s going to get even worse when a kidnapping attempt sweeps them both into a wintered jungle adventure, leading them to the titular lost city. Fortunately, the film is a rom-com, so Bullock and her unlikely travel companion will no doubt find that ‘life can be so much stranger and more romantic than any of her paperback fictions.’
The film, which deliberately deliberately recalls Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner’s rom-com Romancing The Stone, will be written by Dana Fox, based on an idea by Seth Gordon, and directed by Adam and Aaron Nee, directors of 2006 The Last Romantic, 2015’s Band of Robbers, and the coming Masters of the Universe Movie.
