Peter Gilstrap of Variety:
Sandra Bullock (pictured) has been tapped to star in Touchstone Pictures' romantic comedy "The Proposal."
Mandeville's David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are producing; Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman will exec produce.
Peter Chiarelli script concerns a demanding female boss faced with deportation to Canada who agrees to a sham engagement and marriage with her young male assistant. A director has yet to be named.
Longtime collaborators Kurtzman and Orci penned "Mission: Impossible III ," as well as upcoming Dream Works/Paramount features "Transformers " and "Star Trek ." Duo are producing "2012 " and "The 28th Amendment" for Warner Bros. and "Red Cell" for New Line...
Bullock doing a romantic comedy, is of course, nothing new for the popular actress. She built part of her career in that genre. It's kind of weird seeing Orci and Kurtzman attached to this, given what's coming up for them. As for the premise? Casting and chemistry with Bullock are key--Otherwise it's a big ho-hum.
