Sandra Bullock Feels Only Speed 3 Can Bring Her Out of Acting Retirement
During the promotion of The Lost City in 2022, Sandra Bullock and the Harry Potter star were present at the Fox 5 New York. The Proposal star spoke about the movie and her temporary retirement. While addressing the question about her comeback Sandra Bullock said-
“If Daniel directs me in Speed 3: Horsepower, that’ll get me to leave the house.”
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2022, Sandra Bullock spoke about her retirement plans and even indicated towards getting burnt out. She said-
“Work has always been steady for me, and I’ve been so lucky. I realized it possibly was becoming my crutch. It was like opening up a fridge all the time and looking for something that was never in the fridge.”
She further explained-
“I said to myself, ‘Stop looking for it here because it doesn’t exist here. You already have it; establish it, find it and be OK not having work to validate you. I’m so burnt out. I’m so tired, and I’m so not capable of making healthy, smart decisions and I know it and I just want to be 24/7 with my babies and my family. That’s where I’m gonna be for a while.”
The adventure drama The Lost City went on to collect $190 million worldwide against a budget of $68 million.
Daniel Radcliffe Had No Idea About The Super Stardom Of Sandra Bullock
Daniel Radcliffe has worked with multiple A-listers in Hollywood like Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Richard Harris, and Maggie Smith, but he had no idea about the star power of the Speed actor Sandra Bullock. During an interview with the famous entertainment outlet GQ, Daniel Radcliffe spoke about working with Sandra Bullock in The Lost City. He said-
“Honestly, getting to work with [Bullock] was such a thrill. I grew up on the ‘Potter’ films, obviously, working with Maggie Smith and Richard Harris, but I didn’t have, like, an inherent knowledge of who those people were. I hadn’t watched, you know, ‘A Man Called Horse’ with Richard Harris when I was a kid, so I didn’t know the significance. But I did very much grow up watching Sandra Bullock in stuff. So yeah, to get to work with her was incredibly cool.”
The Harry Potter star was impressed by Sandra Bullock’s acting prowess, and during an interview with Sharp Magazine, Daniel Radcliffe said-
“There was nothing surprising to me about the fact that Sandra is an amazing actor in general and an amazing actor to work with. I was like, ‘Yeah, of course. This is why you’ve been brilliant for so long.’ The stuff that really did surprise me was as a producer because a lot of actors take vanity credit as a producer, but I cannot emphasize enough how much that is not the case with Sandra. They made this movie happen.”
With an IMDb rating of 6.1 out of 10, The Lost City is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime.
