Sandra Bullock For “Gravity” Movie?

Sandra Bullock is the latest actress linked to the lead role in Warner Bros.’ upcoming sci-fi epic Gravity.

Gravity narrates the story of a female astronaut who traces her way back to earth after satellite debris hits her space station. The female lead has the maximum screen time similar to that of actor Tom Hanks’ role in 2000’s Castaway.

Although Closer star Natalie Portman remains the first choice of the Mexican lensman Alfonso Cuaron, WB execs are reportedly eyeing Bullock, who recently earned a spot on Forbes Magazine’s list of the highest-paid actresses in Tinseltown. Producers believes the expensive special effects that will make Gravity a blockbuster require a big name to draw audiencs to the theater.
