Sandra Bullock breaks the streak of sexist roles women are given in Hollywood. as she plays a role originally written for a man in In Our Brand is Crisis.
When Bullock read the unproduced screenplay for Our Brand is Crisis, she called longtime friends George Clooney and producer Grant Heslov to be considered for the lead ? an amoral, Sun Tzu-quoting political consultant who's come out of retirement for a showdown with an old rival. They said yes!
To adapt the part, they changed around some pronouns, they gave the character a woman's name, and they added some sexual innuendos with her foe. But overall, it remained as originally written.
