It looks like all of Hollywood’s TV and films top talent is being attracted by the streaming giant. Having worked with Netflix on the film, Bird Box, which was hugely successful and minted 80 million dollars, Sandra Bullock is teaming up with the company again.
According to reports, Sandra Bullock will star in an untitled drama about life after incarceration with Graham King producing and Nora Fingscheidt directing. “Fingscheidt will direct from a script by Mission: Impossible – Fallout helmer Christopher McQuarrie,” noted Variety.
As Variety reported, Sandra Bullock will essay a woman who is released from jail after being incarcerated for a violent crime and “re-enters a society that refuses to forgive her past. Facing severe judgment from her former friends and peers, her only hope for redemption is finding the estranged younger sister she was forced to leave behind.”
Fingscheidt who is helming the project, noted Variety, “made her directorial debut with a film called Systemsprenger (System Crasher), which premiered at the 2019 International Berlin Film Festival, where she won the Silver Bear Alfred Bauer Prize for new perspectives in cinema. Since then, the movie has nabbed 24 international awards and was selected as Germany’s international feature film entry for the 2020 Academy Awards.”
