Sandra Bullock is currently on a break from her Hollywood career. Her world was turned upside down when her long-time partner Bryan Randall passed away last year after a long battle with ALS. She is currently home, present for her two children who were equally devastated by the loss. However, fans hope that she will return to acting soon and sources report that attempts to bring her back are already in full swing.
At this stage, Bullock wouldn’t probably return to any project and work with anyone. She needs a safe space that allows her to take things slow. One project has reportedly presented itself as sources suggest that the filmmakers ofTwo Weeks Noticeare interested in a sequel. Bullock might consider reuniting with Hugh Grant and director Marc Lawrence but under one condition.
Sandra Bullock Might Return toTwo Weeks NoticeSequel Under One Condition
Sandra Bullockis now focusing on being a mom to son Louis, 14, and daughter Laila, 11. A source shared with Closer Magazine that it would take people she trusts to bring her back into Hollywood. The source also added that it would take an“absolutely enormous fee”to get her out of semi-retirement.
The source shared that a sequel to Marc Lawrence’sTwo Weeks Noticewould be a viable project for Bullock’s return. She starred alongsideHugh Grantin the 2002 film which went on to gross $199 million at the box office (via Box Office Mojo).
The source shared that she would want to keep her reputation as the highest-paid actress intact if she were to return to this project. The source shared withCloser:
Even in semi-retirement, Sandra is still one of the most bankable and well-liked actresses in the world. She’d relish being the highest paid one as well. But it’s not going to be with strangers; it’s going to be with people she knows.
According to the source,Bullock is still close to her co-starand would probably feel comfortable to return to the screen with him. Lawrence is also a frequent collaborator as they had worked together in hit films likeForces of Nature,Miss Congeniality, and its sequel.
Despite her closeness to both of them, the source shared that she would also consider a massive payout and a great script before committing to the project. The source shared,“It’s still going to take a massive offer and a truly great script to get Sandra away from the thing that consumes all of her time — and that’s raising her family.”

So, what could be that hefty payout that Bullock would expect? In the early 2000s, Bullock was commanding a $10 million paycheck for each film. The budget ofTwo Weeks Noticewas $60 million, which could mean that she might have earned somewhere around that $10 million mark for the film.
Her salary between 2009 and 2010 was reported to be $56 million, which was probably her salary forThe Blind SideandThe Proposal(via Forbes). However, it was her salary inGravitythat would make any fan drop their jaw.

During a 2021 interview with Jada Pinkett Smith on theRed Table Talk, Bullock shared that Randall was the most supportive when she decided to adopt Laila. He was not involved in the adoption although he was her partner at the time. She shared that she wanted Randall to be an example for her children, describing him as patient and a Christian.
Bullock is not ready to date either, as the friend shared with Closer that she had to find someone to fill the big shoes of Randall. They added that Randall was the love of her life.
