Sandra Bullock talks about her role in the movie ‘Our Brand Is Crisis’

Sandra Bullock is a Hollywood actor and an Oscar winner but, with a difference – in her latest movie ‘Our Brand Is Crisis’, she convinced George Clooney to change a part written for a man to one for a woman so that she could play it instead. The story is about elections and she stars as an election consultant in a heated feud with a rival.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 27 October 2015.

While speaking on the red carpet at the premiere in Los Angeles, Sandra Bullock revealed that she had approached producers Clooney and Grant Heslov about recasting the character as a female. As the debate over inequality in Hollywood continues, she hopes there would be more roles written for men that will be given to women.
The movie ‘Our Brand Is Crisis’ will open in UK cinemas on 22 January.
