SXSW 2022 Exclusive: Sandra Bullock and Daniel Radcliffe talk The Lost City
Coming out this week in theaters from Paramount Pictures is the adventure film The Lost City, directed by Adam Nee and Aaron Nee and starring Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Oscar Nuñez, Patti Harrison, and Bowen Yang.
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.
Bullock most recently starred in and produced the Netflix Original film adaptation The Unforgiveable directed by Nora Fingscheidt. Later this year, she will appear in David Leitch’s action/thriller Bullet Train, starring Brad Pitt. Other notable films include Ocean’s 8, Gravity, The Blind Side, which netted her the Academy Award for Best Actress, The Proposal, Heat, Speed and While You Were Sleeping.
Radcliffe recently wrapped filming Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, the absolutely 100 percent unassailably true story of Weird Al Yankovic for Roku where he takes on the role of the living legend. In late 2022, Radcliffe will star as Charley in Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along at New York Theatre Workshop. Best known for his role in all eight Harry Potter films, Radcliffe’s TBS series Miracle Workers, with Steve Buscemi, Geraldine Viswanathan, and Karan Soni, was recently picked up for a fourth season.
