In the middle of a promotional interview for her new film, “The Secret of the Lost City”, Sandra Bullock makes amends regarding her participation in the artistic and commercial shipwreck that was Speed 2, 25 years ago…
By having the easy word game, it is an understatement to say that Speed 2: heading for danger was an artistic and commercial shipwreck, where the first film, also signed by Jan de Bont and released in 1994, became a classic of the action movie. With a pharaonic budget of $160 million (which would correspond, adjusted for inflation, to more than $280 million today!), Speed 2 crashed on the reefs of the worldwide Box Office, picking up just $164 million.
For the record, in this sequel released in 1997, Sandra Bullock was leaving with her companion (Jason Patric) on a cruise in the Caribbean, before the ship found itself under the thumb of a villain on duty, John Geiger (like the counter. ..), played by Willem Dafoe.
What did it look like? To that…
25 years later, even if there is a prescription, the actress makes amends. In a promotional interview with the site Toofab for her latest film, The Secret of the Lost City, Sandra Bullock admits that her participation in the film was a big mistake. “I made a movie that nobody went to see and I’m still embarrassed to be in it… It’s called Speed 2! I’ve talked about it a lot already. makes no sense. A very slow boat. On its way very slowly to an island.. It’s the one I wish I had never done and no fan has changed their mind since its theatrical release, by the way! “
Daniel Radcliffe, seated next to her in this interview, says the film still benefits “of a small cult” around him. Respondent’s response: “A very small one then! Like five people. Maybe children who were under 12 at the time and who were watching this boat slowly heading towards this small island…”
