Sandra Bullock Still Embarrassed By Speed 2
Sandra Bullock admits she is still embarrassed by Speed 2: Cruise Control and admits the action sequel makes «no sense» compared to the original. The 1997 follow-up picks up sometime after the events of the first Speed movie as Bullock's Annie is no longer dating Keanu Reeves' Jack Traven and dating another SWAT officer, Jason Patric's Alex Shaw. As the couple decide to take a vacation aboard a luxury cruise ship, they find their relaxation upended when deranged former cruise company employee John Geiger hijacks the ship with the intentions of crashing it into an oil tanker.
Alongside Bullock and Patric, the cast for Speed 2: Cruise Control included Willem Dafoe as the villainous Geiger, Temuera Morrison, Brian McCardie, Jeremy Hotz, Bo Svenson, Christine Firkins, Lois Chiles and Michael G. Hagerty. With Jan de Bont back at the helm with a script from Randall McCormick and Jeff Nathanson on a story concept from de Bont and McCormick, the sequel hit theaters in Summer 1997 to a large critical panning, with criticism aimed at the acting, story, characters and cruise ship setting. Speed 2: Cruise Control also ended up being a box office bomb, grossing only $164 million against its $160 million production budget and going down as one of the worst films in history, including in the eyes of some of its stars.
