Sandra Bullock has set her sights on the world of tango and Argentina. 
Through her Fortis Films, the actress-producer is set to produce a film 
version of Marina Palmer's memoir "Kiss & Tango" with an eye to star for 
Fox 2000 Pictures.

Bullock will produce with Denise Di Novi and her Di Novi Pictures.

Fox 2000 has acquired the rights to the book and is in final negotiations 
with screenwriter Nicole Perlman for an adaptation. The story centers on 
an American woman who goes to Argentina, falls in love with a man and a 
culture and rediscovers herself in the process.

Palmer was a New York advertising executive who quit her job and chased 
her dreams in Buenos Aires, where she has remained.

"I'm thrilled with this deal," Palmer said. "I think this is a great fit 
for Sandra Bullock and my book."

appeared in Warner Independent Pictures' "Infamous" and next appears in 
Sony Pictures' "Premonition," set to bow in March.
