Warner Bros. and Paramount are incredibly close to officially co-producing Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, the Eric Roth–scripted adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s best-selling 9/11-related novel. Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks have reportedly begun “circling the project†already, with Stephen Daldry set to direct, and the studios are expected to make offers to actors soon. For a story of unassuming characters, these are big guns. [Deadline]
