Sandra Bullock to star opposite George Clooney in space drama

New York: Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock has apparently landed a role opposite George Clooney in space drama ‘Gravity’.

In their new flick, the two will play the only survivors of a space mission gone wrong who are struggling to get back to Earth, reports US Weekly. The film was originally supposed to star Robert Downey Jr., but he backed out due to scheduling conflicts, according to a website. Bullock and Clooney are expected to begin filming next spring, giving the new mom some more time to spend with the new man in her life: 11-month-old Louis, who she adopted recently. The two have been spotted gallivanting around town, most recently at a friend`s birthday party. "He`s just perfect, I can``t even describe him any other way," the New York Daily News quoted the gushing mom as saying. ANI
