by Terry Lawson Detroit free press not so Long ago an actress told the Detroit free press that her name was Sandra and she was a roman Ticco Micholic in need of an intervention the quip got picked up by news services and says Sandra Bullock got twisted and maimed the Way All those things do so everything was Sandra renounces comedy the fact is i love comedy ill always do com Edy but hey i got nobody to blame for that but my big smart cutesy Mouth nevertheless she was As Good As her word Bullock who was Queen of the rom oms went cold Turkey having become she says bored by the same old same old formulas of the genre she returned to drama doing a Cameo in the Kevin Baco directed and barely seen love boy and a turn As to kill a mockingbird author Harper Lee in Douglas Mcgrath Truman capote portrait infamous had infamous not suffered the indignity of being beaten to Market by the equally Well written and acted capote Bullock might have gotten an Oscar nomination since no one saw infamous a shame Ful shame says Bullock because Doug Mcgrath is a poet Bullocks new film premonition a supernatural thriller that plays with time and your head seems to Fol Low the Lake House a supernatural romantic drama that plays with time and your head the movie opened Friday in the states of great Here we go again with the pigeonholing Bullock complains mock seriously does it occur to anyone that i tend to grab whatever happens to be the Best thing out there at the time i read premonition and i thought this is a great idea but i dont know How Well Ever get it made into a movie that when i knew we had to get it made into a movie premonition was written on spec not ordered up and prepaid for by a producer or a studio by Bill Kelly who wrote the Tim Warp comedy blast from the past it tells the Story of a married woman with two daughters who receives the devastating news that her husband has been killed in a car Acci Dent but when she forces herself to get out of bed the following Day her husband is finish ing breakfast and getting the kids ready for Ron Batzdorf tristan Sandra Bullock is Linda in premonition school assuming she has experienced a vivid dream she relaxes into her real life Only to get another Shock the next Day it had been reported that premonition was a remake of an asian thriller released in the United states on did with the same title but while it resembles a japanese thriller sharing a premonition theme Kelly says his script is original Bullock seconds Kelly saying what Drew her to his script was that it was stylistically different than most of the american thrillers she is offered it was about asking questions instead of providing All the answers says Bullock but the fact that it was so different meant that it had to feel different too so i heard about this German director Kennan Yapo and this amazing film he had made 2004s Lautos released on did As sound less when i watched it i was just like yes this is the Guy its a thriller that also a Romance but the mood of this thing it was incredible when Yapo read premonition he said he wanted to use his cinematographer Torsen Lippstock too Kennan and Torsten would come up with the most Beautiful visual de signs we were All just beyond excited in my favorite scene weve got All these people including my make up artist moving the air blowing these candles and the Light around this Subtle flickering and god i know what it sounds like but i was like gee can you Guys shoot my next 10 movies Bullock says that the phenomenon of did and a tvs Means that smaller More intimate films such As infamous and premonition Are More financially and artistically feasible even when a film does not become what she Calls a slam Cobango opening weekend hit it has an afterlife it Doest just disappear but she is Quick to add that premonition is a film that deserves to be seen on a big screen with other peo ple in the dark i dont have a clue whats going to Hap pen in this business but i just have to think that some people will always make movies that transcend the Home theater unless you can afford to build one As big As a real movie theater plus i think there Are movies that Are better when you see them with a whole Bunch of other human beings strangers feel ing the same things you Are feeling thrillers and comedy Are two genres that come to mind to make it Clear yet again she is not abandoning comedy Bullock says she is develop ing through her own production company a real Cool Guys comedy Only with a girl but says she fears that if she talks about it it will All fall apart you have to be careful what you say to the press maybe in finally learning but probably not Sandra Bullock arrives at the premiere of premonition in Hollywood on March 12 Matt comedian files
