Alright, let’s talk about Sandra Bullock. The legendary actress may have stepped back from the spotlight to focus on her family, but Hollywood isn’t ready to let her go just yet. According to exclusive sources, the bigwigs in Tinseltown are working hard to bring her back for a sequel to the beloved romantic comedy, Two Weeks Notice. And guess who’s joining her? None other than Hugh Grant. Can you imagine?
Now, rewind a bit. About a year and a half before her longtime partner, Bryan Randall, passed away at 57 due to ALS on August 5, 2023, Sandra, who's now 60, announced she was taking a break from acting. Her focus? Being there for her kids, son Louis, who’s 14, and daughter Laila, who’s 11. It’s clear that family comes first for her, and she’s been putting her all into raising them.
Here’s the scoop: Sandra stepping away from Hollywood wasn’t exactly what the industry had in mind. “Sandra totally ghosting Hollywood to be a full-time mom is not what anybody wanted to see,” a source told us. “It’s going to take people she really trusts to get her back in the game, not to mention an absolutely enormous fee.” Let’s be real, Sandra’s worth every penny.

Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock: A Match Made in Movie Magic
Back in 2002, Sandra and Hugh Grant dazzled audiences in the romantic comedy Two Weeks Notice, a film written and directed by the talented Marc Lawrence. In this movie, Sandra plays a lawyer who finds herself working for a self-absorbed billionaire. The film was a hit, opening at No. 2 domestically, right behind The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. It stayed in the top 10 at the box office for its first five weeks. Talk about staying power!
Even though Sandra might be in semi-retirement, she’s still one of the most bankable and beloved actresses out there. “She’d relish being the highest-paid actress as well,” the source says. “But it’s not going to be with strangers; it’s going to be with people she knows.” And who does she know better than Hugh and Marc?
Why a Sequel Makes Perfect Sense
Here’s the thing: Sandra’s still incredibly close with Hugh and Marc, according to our source. So, a sequel to Two Weeks Notice would be the perfect way for her to make her return to the big screen. Think about it. She’s worked with Marc on other hit films like Miss Congeniality, Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous, and Forces of Nature. And Hugh? He’s a frequent collaborator with Marc too, having starred in Music and Lyrics, Did You Hear About the Morgans?, and The Rewrite. It’s a winning team, and fans are already buzzing at the possibility of seeing them together again.
Of course, Marc and Hugh are familiar faces, but producers will need to offer a substantial payout to convince Sandra. “She’s made several movies with that guy,” says the source, “but 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.”
Life After Bryan Randall
In July, another source revealed that Sandra has been struggling since the passing of her longtime partner. “The hardest have been the simple things like Bryan getting the kids ready for school and making breakfast,” a friend shared. Bryan was not only a great dad but also a wonderful companion. “He was a great storyteller and a good listener,” the friend added.
While some friends think Sandra should start dating again, “she’s not ready,” the friend explained. “Romance will have to happen naturally, when she’s not looking for it. And whoever it is will have some really big shoes to fill because Bryan checked all the boxes for her.”

“It’s still raw, and life without Bryan still doesn’t feel right,” the friend concluded. Clearly, Bryan was the love of her life, and Sandra is taking her time to heal.
