Tom Hanks Paired with Sandra Bullock in ‘Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close’
Principal photography is underway on Warner Bros. Pictures’ feature film adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s acclaimed novel “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.” The film stars Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks, and is being directed by Stephen Daldry (The Reader, The Hours) and produced by Scott Rudin (The Social Network, True Grit).
“Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” also stars Thomas Horn, making his acting debut as 11-year-old Oskar Schell, an exceptional child with an off-kilter world view and a daunting mission ahead of him.
Oskar is convinced that his father (Hanks), who died in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, has left a final message for him hidden somewhere in the city. Feeling disconnected from his grieving mother (Bullock) and driven by a relentlessly active mind that refuses to believe in things that can’t be observed, Oskar begins searching New York City for the lock that fits a mysterious key he found in his father’s closet. His journey through the five boroughs takes him beyond his own loss to a greater understanding of the observable world around him.
Shooting entirely in New York, Daldry directs the film from a screenplay by Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, The Insider). Celia Costas (Doubt, Closer) serves as executive producer with Mark Roybal (Doubt) and Nora Skinner (The Reader).
Also starring in the film are James Gandolfini as Ron, a new friend of Oskar’s mom; Zoe Caldwell as the boy’s grandmother; Max von Sydow as the man renting a room from Oskar’s grandmother, who befriends Oskar and accompanies him on his quest; and Viola Davis and Jeffrey Wright as a couple whose own tenuous relationship has a profound effect on Oskar.
The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Chris Menges (The Mission, The Killing Fields); production designer K.K. Barrett (Where the Wild Things Are); and costume designer Ann Roth (The English Patient).
“Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” is currently scheduled for release in 2011 and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
