Los Angeles, March 4 – Hollywood actress Sandra Bullock, who will next be seen in the sequel to ‘Practical Magic,’ is looking to expand her future projects.
The Oscar-winning actress is set to star and produce a new movie for Sony, written by Dana Fox. Following a competitive bidding process, Sony Pictures has secured the untitled project from Bullock and Fox, reuniting the two after Paramount’s 2022 box office hit, ‘The Lost City,’ as reported by ‘Deadline’.
Details of the plot are being kept under wraps, but the actress is set to star and produce through her banner, Fortis Films, while Fox will write and produce through her production company, Foxy Inc. Margy Love will serve as an executive producer for Foxy.
As per ‘Deadline,’ the project reunites Bullock with Sony after she was last seen in 2022’s ‘Bullet Train,’ starring Brad Pitt. Given the success of ‘The Lost City,’ the new project has garnered significant attention, with Sony ultimately winning the deal to bring Bullock back to the studio.
Fox also has a multi-year TV deal with Sony Pictures Television, where she is writing and serving as the showrunner for ‘Clue,’ which is currently in development at Peacock.
Bullock, one of the most recognizable actors in town, who has starred in critically acclaimed films like ‘Gravity’ and ‘The Blind Side,’ recently surprised fans with the news that she would be starring in a sequel to ‘Practical Magic.’ Nicole Kidman is also reprising her role in the film, which Warner Bros. is set to release in September.
