Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum have a meta romantic adventure in this trailer for The Lost City
It's like Romancing The Stone but everyone's a wacky fish-out-of-water character
Film News Sandra Bullock
It seems like Hollywood is indeed in the midst of a Romancing The Stone-aissance, with multiple studios jumping at the chance to do old-fashioned adventure movies starring slightly mismatched couples. Disney has the Jungle Cruise movies, Apple is doing Ghosted with Ana de Armas and Chris Evans, and now Paramount has released a trailer for Adam and Aaron Nee’s meta take on the concept: The Lost City.
The movie stars Sandra Bullock as a famous romance novelist and Channing Tatum as the Fabio-like cover model she uses, with Daniel Radcliffe showing up as some kind of… bad rich guy who thinks that, for some reason, Bullock’s character is the key to helping him discover “the lost city.” (You know, like the one from the name of the movie.)
That’s where things get Romancing The Stone-y, with Radcliffe kidnapping Bullock and Tatum—believing that he’s really the long-haired hero from the books—rushes in to save her. Also Brad Pitt is there in what seems like it’ll be one of those “famous guy shows up and immediately dies” cameos.
Also: The trailer has a couple of surprisingly funny gags, like Bullock’s character demanding to be unchained when she wakes up on Radcliffe’s bad guy plane even though she’s just wearing a seatbelt or Brad Pitt’s character saying his father was a weatherman when asked why he’s so handsome. Another also: This movie was originally going to star Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, a reunion of The Proposal, but he’s probably too much of a star in his own right now for that to work.
It would end up being a Sandra Bullock/Ryan Reynolds movie, which would inevitably end up being a Sandra Bullock/Deadpool movie, rather than the slightly more appealing version they have now, which is a Sandra Bullock movie and also Channing Tatum is there being a doofus. It’ll be in theaters on March 25.

Count me in for anything Daniel Radcliffe touches, farty corpse or not.
Sandra is dressed pretty snazzy for the jungle.
The kidnappers didn’t stop by for a change of clothes. Rude.
“It would end up being a Sandra Bullock/Ryan Reynolds movie, which would inevitably end up being a Sandra Bullock/Deadpool movie”Now THAT I would go see.
This is exactly what I’m looking for in a Sandra Bullock movie.
Tatum is an infinitely more appealing choice than Reynolds, for me personally
Yeah, Reynolds’ whole too-cool-for-this schtick wears thin pretty quickly. Whereas Tatum has a the energy of a puppy trying to be helpful, and I think there’s more comic possibility there.
Looks like a totally brainless movie. Sign me up!
I LOVE me some Sandra Bullock. She’s America’s sweetheart!
This looks delightfully stupid.
Or does it look stupidly delightful?
It can be two things!
It sure can, dirtside. It sure can.
You mean stupidly stupid and delightfully delightful?
Delightfully stupidly delightful and stupid. Just like The Kinja Caffeine Spider!
So, a remake of Romancing the Stone pretty much?
anyone else ever see Vibes?
“Jeff Goldblum AND Cyndi Lauper? The casting practically sells the tickets itself!”
SUIT: and TELL me we have FALK in this
TOADIE: We have Falk, sir
SUIT: (ejaculates his entire body through his penis)
Thankyou for the most hilarious mental image I’ve enjoyed in a while.
aw thanks!here’s another one I think of too often: Jeff Bezos’ penis looks exactly like Jeff Bezos at 1/12 scale
I’m not sure I’m completely sold – some of these jokes feel designed to be followed by the phrase “Well that just happened!” – but Daniel Radcliffe being unhinged is pure entertainment rocket fuel.
Maybe the real treasure was all the D we found along the way…
Still a leading lady at 57-YEARS OLD. That is impressive.
