LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Warner Bros. and Paramount are reportedly going after Sandra Bullock for the big screen adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foers novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, in what would be the actress first movie since her Oscar-winning performance in The Blind Side.
According to Variety, the studios have made offers to Sandra and Tom Hanks to star in the movie, set in 2003, which centers around a boy who lost his father on September 11. The boy embarks on a search across New York City to find a lock that matches a key that belonged to his father.
