The romantic comedy adventure stars Bullock as
Loretta Sage, a successful novelist who becomes a recluse after
her husband's untimely death. Persuaded by her publicist to
embark on a press tour to promote her latest book with her
handsome cover model Alan (Tatum), life starts to imitate her
art when an eccentric billionaire, played by Daniel Radcliffe,
kidnaps Sage, convinced she can lead him to an ancient treasure
he believes is buried on a tropical island.
Alan springs into action to rescue Sage, helped by his
mysterious acquaintance Jack Trainer (Brad Pitt) and a
high-adrenaline escape through the jungle ensues.
"We're very similar, oddly," Bullock said of Tatum, as they
premiered the film in London on Thursday.
"We discovered that and it confused us. It was a little
perplexing as to why are we so similar. But our sense of humour
is just very sophomoric and we take care of each other,"
Bullock, who also produced the movie, told Reuters.
"She's like my sister. We're like siblings. We have a whole
backstory that we were created in a petri dish together and they
put her out first to see how she was going to do. And then once
she survived, they put me out. We were just separated at birth,
really," said Tatum.
"The Lost City" was filmed in the Dominican Republic during the
pandemic, with Bullock dressed in a sparkly sequinned pink
jumpsuit and high heels throughout the action scenes that see
her rock climbing, swimming in leech-infested rivers and wading
through vegetation.
"I love being physical, especially with comedy, it's always
funny. I'm a physical comedian. I don't do as well with just
words and not having something to do with my body. I love it. As
long as you can do it, do it," the 57-year-old actor said.
Directed and co-written by brothers Adam and Aaron Nee, "The
Lost City" debuted at the top spot at the North American box
office last weekend, overtaking "The Batman," and is being
rolled out globally in March and April.
