Sandra Bullock and George Clooney Team Again For New Movie and You Can Join Them Onscreen; `Our Brand Is Crisis' Looking for Bolivian Extras

George Clooney and Sandra Bullock will head to New Orleans this fall to shoot a new political comedy "Our Brand Is Crisis." 

Academy Award-winner Sandra Bullock signed on to star in Our Brand Is Crisis, which will put Sandra Bullock back in George Clooney's orbit after last summer's paring in the hit science fiction film "Gravity." Sandra Bullock and David Gordon Green are teaming up for the political dramedy "Our Brand is Crisis." 

According to Variety, Bullock has been in talks for the film for months now. Bullock was first connected to Our Brand Is Crisis back in December. The new film wil be produced by Clooney and Grant Heslov's Smokehouse Pictures for Warner Bros. Bullock will also be an executive producer. Warner Bros. has made no comment. 

Variety reported that Bullock has committed to star the film and David Gordon Green signed on to direct. Variety also reported that Warners gave the green light to "Our Brand is Crisis." The movie is based on Rachel Boynton's 2005 documentary about American political campaign strategies in South America during the 2002 Bolivian presidential election.

Bullock had been linked to the movie since the beginning of the year but hadn't committed. Variety reported that insiders say she was swayed to join after meeting with Green. The screenplay was written by Peter Straughan who wrote the George Clooney-starrer "The Men Who Stare at Goats."

David Gordon Green directed the films "Prince Avalanche" and "Joe," which starred Nicolas Cage. His next film, "Manglehorn" with Al Pacino and Holly Hunter, will premiere at the Toronto Film Fest.

The producers scheduled a  casting call for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 3, at the Slidell Municipal Auditorium, 2056 2nd St., Slidell. The production is looking for background actors to play Bolivian men and women of all ages. Specifically, those who have a Hispanic and Native American look. Actors are told to bring documents necessary for filling out an IRS I-9 form. All applicants will be photographed on-site, "so please dress as you would like to be seen by the director and producers of the movie," according to a recent casting advisory. Registration is expected to last from an hour and a half to two hours.

Bullock will next be seen in Sony's "Tupperware Unsealed." The film is about the inventor of Tupperware and will be directed by Tate Taylor.
