MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY
“God no, no. No. [Miss Congeniality] 2 shouldn’t have been done, but I’m glad that it did, because it was with Regina [Hall], who just, I freakin’ adore. That one should’ve remained a one-off. Unless they make a prequel with a young Gracie Hart… I think Gracie Hart is in her 10, 11-year-old life, still acting very much the same as Gracie Hart as an adult.”
Sandra Bullock Also Regrets Speed 2: Cruise Control

Recently, Sandra Bullock also dished on how she felt about her sequel Speed 2: Cruise Control. Bullock now has no trouble saying that she should have rejected that movie, as did her Speed co-star Keanu Reeves. It seems so obvious looking back for Bullock, who can’t get over the fact that the film is a Speed sequel set in one of the slowest-moving vehicles imaginable, making it much less thrilling than the high-speed bus on the freeway seen in the first movie.
“I have one [film] no one came around to and I’m still embarrassed I was in. It’s called Speed 2,” Bullock explained. “I’ve been very vocal about it. Makes no sense. Slow boat. Slowly going towards an island. ââââThat’s one I wished I hadn’t done and no fans came around, that I know of.”
Back in 2015, Keanu Reeves similarly said on Jimmy Kimmel Live of his choice to turn down the sequel, “I didn’t get to be in that. Well, I decided not to be in that. I loved working with [director] Jan de Bont and Sandra, of course. It was just a situation in life where I got the script and I read the script and I was like, ‘Ugh.’ It was about a cruise ship, and I was thinking, ‘A bus, a cruise ship… Speed, bus, but then a cruise ship is even slower than a bus, and I was like, ‘I love you guys, but I just can’t do it.’”
