Keanu Reeves (R) and Sandra Bullock

Actress Sandra Bullock will reportedly play a verbally gifted stalker in ‘All About Steve’, a comedy about a passionate crossword puzzle solver.

According to Variety, ‘Fox 2000’ has purchased the script of the movie that has been written by Kim Braker.

The plot centers on a TV cameraman who is obsessively pursued across the nation by a brilliant but rather kooky crossword puzzler, which will be played by Bullock, reports Zap2it.

Bullock will also produce the comedy under her ‘Fortis Films banner’, which also produced the "Miss Congeniality" films, "Two Weeks Notice," "Hope Floats" and the "George Lopez" sitcom.

The production of the film is expected to begin next year.

Bullock's recent film credits include ‘Crash’, ‘The Lake House’ and the upcoming thriller ‘Premonition’. (ANI)
