After being out of the public eye for two years, Sandra Bullock is ready to come back

A source told Us Weekly that Sandra is “excited about the future” and “ready to play again.”

The last time Sandra was seen was on July 12 in Beverly Hills, smiling at the photographers.

She turned 60 on July 26. Sandra stopped acting after saying in March 2022 that she would be taking a break.

She was in over 50 movies, including “Miss Congeniality” and “The Blind Side.”

Sandra is now set to star with Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic 2, the follow up to the cult classic Practical Magic.

Someone who knows Sandra said that she is “really excited” about the project and can’t wait to spend time with Nicole.

Sandra is “open to the possibility” of dating again in the future, but she is still focused on her kids and getting better after Bryan’s death.

She is slowly getting back to the life and career she loves, even though it has been hard at times

Sandra Bullock recently marked the first anniversary of the death of Bryan Randall, who lost his ALS battle on Aug. 5, 2023. The first year after losing a loved one can be tough to navigate, but the 60-year-old actress seems to be signaling that she’s ready to return to Hollywood. Still, her comeback won’t be for any old project.

Bullock loves her work as an actress, but she wants to maintain a work-life balance because she knows how precious time is. “Sandra will come back to Hollywood this year and determine, finally, what her next project will be, but it’s going to be on her terms, and it isn’t going to come cheap,” an In Touch Weekly source claimed. They believe she will want “an extraordinary level of control to come back on a studio project.”

The Lost City star has vocalized her wish to ease back on work before. At SXSW in 2022 she shared why she was taking a break from work after the promotion of the action film with Channing Tatum. “I don’t want to be beholden to anyone’s schedule other than my own,” Bullock told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m so burnt out. I’m so tired, and I’m so not capable of making healthy, smart decisions and I know it.” Bullock wanted to embrace the idea that it’s “OK not having work to validate you.”

Bullock will likely be “incredibly picky about what her follow-up project is going to be,” but the itch to return to acting is hitting her again after a year of self-care and the loss of Randall. “After the wild and very profitable experience of producing and starring in The Lost City two years ago, Sandra finally has the taste back for picking and running her own films instead of leaving that to other filmmakers and directors, which she did a lot during the 2010s to mixed results,” the In Touch Weekly source noted.

She and Keanu Reeves have been hinting that they want to work together again after their success with Speed and The Lake House. “It does feel like there is a siren call to it like there’s something that wasn’t done. I would love to work with you again before our eyes close,” Reeves told Bullock during the 30th anniversary of Speed on the 50 MPH podcast. Bullock does not have an upcoming project listed on IMDb just yet, but it sounds like she’s making her way back to the big screen.
