Gravity
Bullock plays astronaut and medical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone in this science fiction thriller written and directed by Alfonso Cuaron. Stone is on a mission with Lieutenant Matt Kowalski , played by George Clooney, when their shuttle is destroyed by high speed debris from a damaged Russian satellite. Kowalski saves Stone from drifting off into space and then together they must find a way to get back to Earth.
We had no idea if it would be successful. You’d explain that it was an avant-garde, existential film on loss and survival in space and everyone would be like: ‘OK …’ It didn’t sound like a film people would be drawn to.

The Lake House
Bullock plays Kate Forster in this fantasy time-travel romance directed by Alejandro Agresti. Kate is a doctor who moves out of a house by a lake and leaves a note in the mailbox for the next tenant, Alex Wyler, played by Keanu Reeves. He reads the note but doesn’t understand because when he moved into the house, it had been unoccupied for years. In his world, it is 2004, but in hers, it is 2006. With impossible time and distance between them, they somehow strike up a correspondence and fall in love by leaving notes in that mailbox.
I was looking for a love story, I’ve always wanted to do one and I read it and as soon as I read it, it was like, you know those novels that you read when you were younger and you were absolutely lost in that scenario.
Miss Congeniality
Bullock plays FBI agent Gracie Hart in this comedy directed by Donald Petrie. Hart goes undercover as a contestant in a beauty pageant to prevent a bomb attack on the pageant, but first, she gets a head-to-toe makeover. Co-starring Benjamin Bratt, Michael Caine, Candice Bergen, and William Shatner.
They don’t have many roles like this for women in Hollywood. They had them in the 30s and 40s and then Lucille Ball sort of left with it. This is sort of my Dumb And Dumber phase.
