Brad Pitt and Sandra Bullock exchanged cameos this year when Pitt appeared in Bullock’s $105 million romantic comedy “The Lost City” and Bullock appeared in the late summer action masthead Pitt’s “Bullet Train”. But would the two headline a movie together? Turns out they planned years ago when developing a comedy they would play warring ex-spouses on QVC. The Pitt-Bullock comedy never got past the early development stage.
“Actually, Sandy [Sandra Bullock] and I once tried to develop an idea of a husband and wife team, who were QVC’s most successful salespeople, but we’re gonna get divorced, we hate each other, and we put it on the air while we’re selling things,” Pitt recently told Vogue UK. “That’s all we have.”
Pitt revealed the lost Bullock project during an interview touting The Estate, his new genderless skincare line. The Oscar-winning actor told Vogue that his skin is proof that The Estate works.
“I know there are new products almost every day that people try to launch,” Pitt said, “but if I hadn’t seen a real difference visually in my skin, we wouldn’t have taken the penalty [making it].”
Pitt recently headlined Sony’s “Bullet Train,” which has grossed $96 million in the United States since its debut in early August. Worldwide, the action mast grossed $222 million. Next up for Pitt is a starring role opposite Margot Robbie and Diego Calva in “Babylon,” the new Paramount-backed drama from “La La Land” Oscar winner Damien Chazelle. The film opens in select theaters on December 25.
