Rumors of a new \u201cBullitt\u201d movie<\/a> in the works are picking up steam with a report out claiming Bradley Cooper has been picked for the titular role of Frank Bullitt.<\/p>\n

Citing anonymous sources, Deadline<\/em><\/a> reported last week that Cooper has signed a deal to play the role made famous in the original 1968 movie by Steve McQueen, after being picked by Steven Spielberg, the new movie’s alleged producer.<\/p>\n

Cooper, famous for the \u201cHangover\u201d series of comedies, as well as 2018’s \u201cA Star Is Born,\u201d a movie which he produced, wrote, directed, and also starred in alongside Lady Gaga, will reportedly also serve as a producer of the new Bullitt movie. Cooper and Spielberg are alleged to have been talking about the project for years.<\/p>\n

The movie isn’t expected to be a remake but a new story based on the character of Frank Bullitt, a tough San Francisco cop who in the original chased a mob kingpin that killed a key witness. Josh Singer, who previously worked with Spielberg on 2017’s \u201cThe Post,\u201d was previously reported to be penning the script.<\/p>\n

There’s no word on whether we’ll see a new dramatic car chase like the original through the streets of San Francisco between a Dodge Charger R\/T and McQueen in a Ford Mustang GT painted the now famous Highland Green. That original car was sold in 2020 for $3.4 million at auction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spielberg definitely knows how to film a tense chase. His first major movie, 1971’s \u201cDuel,\u201d was basically one giant chase, and hopefully he can recreate some of the tension of that movie for a chase in the new Bullitt movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
