The Lost City is a romantic comedy like you’ve never seen before.

Sandra Bullock (Loretta Sage) stars alongside Channing Tatum (Alan) in the action-packed new film, The Lost City, which might just redefine the way one looks at love and even romantic comedies depending upon how you spin it. Shadow and Act spoke to cast members ahead of the release who talked to us about the flick.

“It was such a big movie, from the get-go, kinda like the Sandra Bullock of it all,” said Patti Harrison who plays Allison, the witty assistant to the iconic actress in the film. “It’s not like anything I really thought I would do necessarily, but I definitely was like this is a crazy opportunity. It just sounded like an insane, cool opportunity to go to the DR and get to work with all these incredible people.”

The film, centered around the journey to life after grief, is filled with twists and turns that are sure to keep those watching on the edge of their seats. The Lost City offers an all-new perspective to the genre of romance and reflects a modern world that proves that love (and life) can always be filled with the unexpected.

“The biggest way in which [those watching] will see a shift [in the genre] is that we give you a little bit of everything,” said Da’Vine Joy Randolph who plays Bullock’s go-getting assistant Beth.
