In a role meant for George Clooney, Sandra Bullock plays 'Calamity' Jane Bodine in OUR BRAND IS CRISIS. We’re getting a first look at the role Sandra Bullock fought to get made with a female lead. Bravo Sandra.
Produced by George Clooney and Grant Heslov (Argo), OUR BRAND IS CRISIS stars Sandra Bullock as a brilliant American campaign strategist hired by a Bolivian presidential candidate (Joaquim de Almeida) failing badly in the polls. The film also stars Billy Bob Thornton and Anthony Mackie
In self-imposed retirement following a scandal that earned her nickname and rocked her to her core, Jane is coaxed back into the game for the chance to beat her professional nemesis, the loathsome Pat Candy (Thornton), now coaching the opposition. But as Candy zeroes in on every vulnerability – both on and off the campaign trail – Jane is plunged into a personal crisis as intense as the one her team exploits nationally to boost their numbers. Dramatic, rapid-fire and laced with satire, “Our Brand is Crisis” reveals the cynical machinations and private battles of world-class political consultants for whom nothing is sacred and winning is all that matters.
OUR BRAND IS CRISIS opens October 30.
