Reports of Brad Pitt's TheLostCity role have been greatly understated, according to co-director Adam Nee: 'But the role isn’t a cameo, he’s in a good chunk of the movie.' Color us intrigued!
Brad Pitt's role in the upcoming romcom The Lost City has been seriously underplayed in various reports, with director Adam Nee now saying he has a substantial part. Previously titled The Lost City of D, the movie stars Channing Tatum and Sandra Bullock in an love story that's in the vein of Romancing the Stone. Bullock plays romance author Loretta Sage, while Tatum is her dreamy cover model Alan.
For months now, Pitt's role in The Lost City has been hyped as a fun cameo that he took on at the request of his Bullet Train co-star Bullock. The first trailer for The Lost City revealed Pitt to be playing the kind of hero that Alan wants to be, as demonstrated through the incredibly efficient way he rescues her from Fairfax's camp. That sequence is the only bit of Pitt's role that has been revealed so far, which further contributes to the idea that he's only putting in a cameo.
"Brad Pitt’s name came up early for this. But the role isn’t a cameo, he’s in a good chunk of the movie. We were like, 'We’re never going to get Brad Pitt to do this. And then Sandy did Bullet Train [with Pitt], she was pitching him the role and she and Brad share a hairdresser, Janine [Thompson]. Janine was saying to Brad, ‘How would you do your hair if you played this part? What would you do about this?’ It felt like she just started getting him excited about it.
Pitt's Lost City character was funny enough when it was assumed he just made a small appearance, but the news that he'll actually stick around for much longer is far more intriguing. The trailers for the film, again, haven't revealed much of what else Pitt will be doing, but one can assume he and Tatum's Alan will have a bit of a rivalry going on.
The Lost City arrives in theaters later this month. It continues the recent revival of the traditional studio romcom, which appeared to start in February with Jennifer Lopez's Marry Me. Lopez herself will star in another romance film later this year, Shotgun Wedding, meaning this is just the start for what could be the romcom's newest era. Audiences will soon get to decide if The Lost City is a worthy addition to the genre, though so far, it already sounds pretty enticing.
