Bullock was a newcomer to Hollywood at the time of her casting in the action-packed thriller.
Jokes aside, Bullock was just thrilled to be there.
I was the new kid on the block, she recalled, calling it nerve-racking.
But I was happy to be there, she said.

There were other people ahead of me!
De Bont marveled at his leading stars enduring chemistry.
“What they did for me quite often unnatural to them what they had to do is just unbelievable.
The relationship that these two created together is absolutely amazing.
Seeing them back on the screen tonight, it was so realistic.
They were absolutely perfect.
All the emotions were right, all the laughing was right, all the smiling, the little smooching.
It was really, really cool.
I had to tell them how great they both were.
