I think we’d freakin’ knock it out of the park.” While the duo, who first worked together while filming the thriller Speed in 1994, seem willing to join forces once again, the insider suggests the timing has to be perfect for Sandra to take the reigns of a new project, considering she’s now a mother of two. “Sandra has a crazy life that is really centered around being a mom to her kids completely outside of Hollywood,” the insider says. “Basically, Sandra isn’t going to star in a film unless she is the boss, and unless she gave the final approval on the script.” Copyright 2024 Us Weekly.
