Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds will have a comeback movie under Universal Studios. Together with them is the team behind The Proposal, Director Anne Fletcher, Writer Pete Chiarelli and Producers David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman. The Proposal stars will team up on an action comedy movie under Universal entitled “Most Wanted.”
The story revolves around Sandra Bullock as a criminal suspect and Ryan Reynolds as an FBI agent assigned to escort her to court when they are ambushed and forced to run for their lives.
Most Wanted is like the 1988 movie Midnight Run, starring Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin. Universal is now developing a sequel to the said movie.
The Most Wanted project was originally for Disney who produced their first romantic comedy movie The Proposal under its Touchstone Company. However Disney decided to undergo a regime change, and is now “de-emphasizing Touchstone.” Disney now focuses on making more movies under the wide brand spectrum of their name.
Reynolds will also exec-produce the movie along with Dark Tick Films partner Jonathon Komack-Martin.
Writer Pete Chiarelli was a former MGM executive who wrote “The Proposal” in his spare time. Director Anne Fletcher is also now working on the second part of “Enchanted,” under Disney.
