47-year-old Sandra Bullock wore a stunning black satin pantsuit by Alexander McQueen on the red carpet last night at the premiere of her new movie, ‘Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close’.
At the premiere she was joined by her costars, Tom Hanks and newcomer Thomas Horn (who was a previous Teen Jeopardy winner!).
The movie, which has a limited opening on Christmas day, centers around a young boy who loses his father on 9/11. He sets out on a journey to uncover a mystery left behind by his dad.
On Thursday, Bullock also appeared on NBC’s Today to explain why she opted for a role that gave her only 24 minutes of screen time.
“It’s truly this amazing story of this child’s point of view of what happened in his life that was this horribly tragic event,” she said. “And to see it through his eyes is far more, I think poignant and impactful, than to see it through an adult’s eyes.”
Asked why an actress of her status would agree to a smaller part rather than a starring role, Bullock replied: “I’ve already had those moments, I think. I mean, there might be more, I don’t know, but I don’t know how many moments and opportunities like this there’ll be — with stories like this, with directors and casts like this — it’s like the rare moments in life where all the elements are there, and they all come together for some strange or bigger reason.”
“You can’t say no to that,” she added.
Extremely Loud also stars Viola Davis, Jeffrey Wright, John Goodman and Zoe Caldwell.
