EW has learned exclusively that Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds are reuniting on a new action comedy, tentatively titled
Most Wanted. The project, a pitch from
The Proposal screenwriter Peter Chiarelli, was purchased by Universal Pictures on Friday. Sources say the studio paid $1 million for it and they are currently negotiating with
The Proposal director Anne Fletcher to helm the film. The storyline for the movie revolves around a criminal suspect (Bullock) being escorted to court by an FBI agent (Reynolds). Both are ambushed on the way and are forced to go on the run. Mandeville Films, the company behind
The Proposal, will produce. Ryan Reynolds will executive produce with his partner Jonathan Komack Martin.
Will Bullock and Reynolds be the next Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, who reunited in Nora Ephron’s
You’ve Got Mail back in 1998 after their stunning success together in Ephron’s
Sleepless in Seattle? Bullock has been on hiatus since her big Oscar win earlier this year while Reynolds’ schedule couldn’t be busier: The comedic actor is currently shooting
The Green Lantern in Louisiana and is next scheduled to star in
The Change-Up opposite Jason Bateman.
