Sandra Bullock might be past 'Prime'

单从演技和容貌上看,在人才济济的好莱坞,美国女星珊德拉·布洛克算不上佼佼者。但她在银幕上产生的巨大亲和力使她成为观众心目中“美丽的灰姑娘”。由于在影片《生死时速》中扮演了那个开着随时可能爆炸的大公交车的临时驾驶员安妮,桑德拉几乎一夜成名,窜升为片酬上千万的好莱坞一线女星。可现年40岁的她最近接拍新片时却有些不如意。

 

Two weeks before her next film was set to begin production, Sandra Bullock has dropped out of the project.

Two weeks before her next film was set to begin production, Sandra Bullock has dropped out of the project -- at least for the moment.

Bullock was to have starred in "Prime" as a thirtysomething woman who falls for her therapist's twentysomething son. But according to a representative for the actress, Bullock, who has script approval, was not satisfied with the latest draft turned in early this month by scribe Ben Younger.

While confirming that Bullock is off the project, the rep said that she still might do the movie if a script can be agreed upon. A source close to the producers indicated that the film had been in preproduction for more than two months, including cast readings and costume fittings in which Bullock fully participated. The producers expect that she will continue to fulfill her contractual commitment to the film's Sept. 7 start date. Universal is releasing the picture domestically, with Focus Features handling international rights.

It remains unclear what project Bullock might do next if she is no longer in "Prime." Warner Independent Pictures/Killer Films is in early negotiations with the actress to star in their upcoming Truman Capote feature "Every Word Is True," which is due to start shooting in January.
