“In order to get something greenlit, all the elements have to be there. It’s a chess match, and I didn’t think in a million years that it would work. And it was a while before it did happen, too. It was a long silence. And once you get everyone, you’re playing chess with everyone’s schedules,”Bullock told Refinery29.

The actor further added that the movie is“a tentpole, fun, entertaining, funny ride, that’s supposed to give you release, and has a fantasy element.”Also, they had fun,“and we’re getting along, and we care about each other. Maybe that’s the difference,”Bullock said.
