Oscar-winners Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock’s name is being considered for a feature version of post 9/11 novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
Warner Bros and Paramount have reportedly made the offers to Bullock and Hanks for the movie but the studios are yet to begin formal negotiations on the project.
Based on Jonathan Safran Foer novel and set in 2003, the story centres on a 9-year-old boy who finds a key in a vase that belongs to his father, who perished in the September 11 terrorist attacks, and searches to find the lock that goes with it.
Foer’s was one of the first American novels to incorporate the September 11 events into the plot, Variety reported online.
