The Lost City Clip: Daniel Radcliffe And A Drone Search For Sandra Bullock In Deleted Scene [Exclusive]
Who says the age of the star-driven, mid-budget, adventure-romance flick is over? When "The Lost City" premiered in theaters this past March to generally positive reviews and a pleasantly surprising amount of audience interest, the Sandra Bullock/Channing Tatum two-hander felt like a refreshing throwback to the days when movies of this size and genre could regularly flourish alongside any kind of counterprogramming at the same time. /Film's Hoai Tran-Bui put it this way in her review:
"There's a goofy sincerity to the movie even as it sends up better movies that came before it (complete with corny needle drops), and it retains that old Hollywood screwball spirit that gives it a timeless feeling. It's nothing new, and lord knows it's nothing groundbreaking, but boy, is it fun."
After "The Lost City" enjoyed a successful run in theaters, providing some hope that rumors of the death of non-IP, non-blockbuster movies for adults may have been exaggerated, viewers can now revisit the rom-com or catch it for the first time from the comfort of their own homes. The film has been made available to stream on Paramount+ and to purchase on VOD as of today, with the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD physical media release set for this July. To mark the occasion, /Film is exclusively debuting a deleted scene from the film that will be included in the special features for the digital release of "The Lost City."
The Lost City deleted scene
Sandra Bullock in full "Romancing the Stone" mode, Channing Tatum as her himbo sidekick/bumbling hero/love interest, and a completely unhinged Daniel Radcliffe as the mustache-twirling bad guy behind it all? What's not to love! In this clip, Radcliffe's villainous Abigail Fairfax has finally resorted to slightly more extreme means to track down the double nuisances of romance writer Loretta Sage (Bullock) and cover model Alan Caprison (Tatum) in the depths of the jungle. That's right — it's time to call in a drone.
Directed by Aaron and Adam Nee from a script by themselves, Oren Uziel, and Dana Fox (along with Seth Gordon, who gets "Story by" credit), "The Lost City" is set to arrive on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on July 26, 2022.

Brilliant, but reclusive author Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) has spent her career writing about exotic places in her popular romance-adventure novels featuring handsome cover model Alan (Channing Tatum), who has dedicated his life to embodying the hero character, "Dash." While on tour promoting her new book with Alan, Loretta is kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire (Daniel Radcliffe) who hopes that she can lead him to the ancient lost city's treasure from her latest story. Wanting to prove that he can be a hero in real life and not just on the pages of her books, Alan sets off to rescue her. Thrust into an epic jungle adventure, the unlikely pair will need to work together to survive the elements and find the ancient treasure before it's lost forever.
