The story follows a reclusive romance novelist (Bullock) who was sure nothing could be worse than getting stuck on a book tour with her cover model (Tatum) until a kidnapping attempt sweeps them both into a cutthroat jungle adventure, proving life can be so much stranger, and more romantic, than any of her paperback fictions.

It’s unknown what character Randolph will play.

Randolph came following her scene-stealing role in the Netflix comedy Dolemite Is My Name which starred Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes. Even within the ensemble Randolph held her own, and her rave reviews put her on the map with the rest of the industry. She followed that up with the recently released The United States vs. Billie Holiday, which earned her co-star Andra Day an Oscar nomination.

Randolph is repped by Paradigm, Lighthouse Entertainment and Fox Rothschild.
