Bradley Cooper has been cast as Bullitt in the new movie from Steven Spielberg.
Steven Spielberg has cast Bradley Cooper as Frank Bullitt for his upcoming original film Bullitt, Deadline first reported. Cooper has officially closed a deal to play the classic character, who was famously portrayed by Steve McQueen in the original 1968 thriller. Spielberg is developing a new version of the film centered on the famous San Francisco cop, but made it clear that it is not a reboot of the original film, but rather an entirely new story.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The decision to cast Cooper was not a sudden one. Cooper and Spielberg have been discussing Bullitt since the pandemic began, talking about the character and how to put a fresh spin on the story. Cooper and Spielberg have been trying to collaborate on a project for years, as Spielberg came close to directing American Sniper which starred Cooper, but ultimately moved on and handed the opportunity to Clint Eastwood.
Cooper is currently producing Maestro, which he also co-wrote, directed, produced, and starred in. He plays the lead alongside Carey Mulligan, and that film is set to be released on Netflix in 2023. Cooper is most famous for his roles as Phil in The Hangover, and as Jackson Maine in A Star is Born, where he starred alongside Lady Gaga.
Bullitt is currently in production, and a release date has not been set yet. More casting decisions are expected to be announced soon. In the meantime, check out our interview with Seth Rogen, who stars in Spielberg's latest film The Fablemans.
