While the star is widely loved for his filmography, he also proved to be a gentleman by consoling Sandra Bullock when she gave a regretful statement aboutSpeed 2.

Sandra Bullockwas extremely shocked during her chat with TooFab when she heard that the interviewer enjoyedSpeed 2very much as a child. The 60-year-old blatantly replied, “Were you high?” to the interviewer and admitted that she regrets to date for doing the film.
I have one that no one came around to, and I’m still embarrassed that I was in, it’s called Speed 2, and I’m very vocal about it. Makes no sense: slow boat, slowly going towards an island. That’s one that I wished I hadn’t done, and no fans came around that I know of, except for you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
As Daniel Radcliffe tried to be the ideal gentleman by easing Bullock, he stated “I feel like it had a kind of cult love as well“. But the Oscar-winning actress refused to buy it and sarcastically remarked:
Very quiet, like, amongst maybe five people. Him and the other four 12-year-olds that were watching the slow boat going towards the tiny island.
Speed 2: Cruise Control, released in 1997 was both a commercial and critical failure. Interestingly, the star of the 1994 film, Keanu Reeves also refused to reprise his role in the sequel after sensing something wrong in the script (seeCNN). Sadly, Sandra Bullock returned to her role as Annie Porter and started her toxic relationship with sequels which was followed by 2005’sMiss Congeniality 2.

WhenThe Lost Citypremiered at the SXSW Film Festival, Sandra Bullock openly admitted toVarietythat she had a ‘no-sequel’ rule after working on two disappointing sequels. But now the actress is all up to reconsider her decision and agreed to return for a potentialThe Lost Citysequel if the same creative team returns, who highly impressed Bullock.
I don’t know that I’d want to do a sequel, but look — we had Dana Fox as a writer. If Dana Fox could come up with something brilliant… there you go.
Surprisingly, Sandra Bullock did not even want to doThe Lost Cityat first and only agreed to it after some corrections. However, after the film garnered a positive critical and commercial reception, the makers would likely love to bring a sequel and recreate the same magic.
The Lost Citycan be streamed on Paramount+, whileSpeed 2: Cruise Controlcan be rented on Apple TV+.
