She, alongside co-star Keanu Reeves and director Jan de Bont, discussed the film's legacy and the challenges of creating a sequel in today's industry, noting a lack of bravery to tackle such projects. Bullock praised de Bont for his creative vision, reminiscing about how he demanded excellence from the cast, while questioning if the current industry climate would support such ambition. The event also marked Bullock's return to public life after a period of absence following personal losses. She reflected on the significance of 'Speed' in launching her career and the difficulties of following up on its success with a sequel that meets audience expectations. Overall, Bullock's comments highlight a blend of nostalgia and realism regarding Hollywood's evolving landscape.
