"When a novelist finds herself caught up in a story she previously wrote,
that’s speculative fiction, even when it’s entirely wrapped up in
romance-adventure trappings. And the trappings of The Lost City look to be very
nice indeed. The first trailer is a delight, and the film offers something that
more movies should give us: A deeply self-aware Brad Pitt tossing his flowing
locks—in slow motion!—as he comes to someone’s rescue.
The movie’s summary is appropriately dramatic:
Brilliant, but reclusive author Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) has spent her
career writing about exotic places in her popular romance-adventure novels
featuring handsome cover model Alan (Channing Tatum), who has dedicated his
life to embodying the hero character, “Dash.” While on tour promoting her
new book with Alan, Loretta is kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire (Daniel
Radcliffe) who hopes that she can lead him to the ancient lost city’s
treasure from her latest story. Wanting to prove that he can be a hero in
real life and not just on the pages of her books, Alan sets off to rescue
her. Thrust into an epic jungle adventure, the unlikely pair will need to
work together to survive the elements and find the ancient treasure before
it’s lost forever.
What simple language cannot convey, the trailer provides: the glorious depths
of Bullock’s irritation with Tatum’s cover model; the way Radcliffe’s
buttery-smooth politeness clearly masks a lot of eccentricities; and the fact
that even the smaller roles here are cast perfectly. Speaking of Radcliffe,
“He’s so crazy handsome and devious,” Bullock told Entertainment Weekly. “I
don’t know how to explain him. But you wouldn’t think that he plays sinister so
beautifully and calmly and in such an attractive way. He’s going to really
surprise people.”"
Via Cass M, who wrote "New comedy movie with Sandra Bullock? I’ll be there!"
