Sandra Bullock is a great actress. I’m not going to deny that. “The Proposal” is still one of my favorite movies. That’s why I’m kind of disappointed that she’s stooping so low.
She’s starring as feminist hero Wendy Davis– the hag who filibustered for 11 hours to stall a pro-life bill in Texas– in the upcoming film, “Let Her Speak.” That’s right. Bullock is portraying a woman who “stood up” to fight for a woman’s “right” to MURDER HER CHILD.
That’s truly nasty.
At the time, Davis was a little known Democratic senator who soon became a national icon on the subject of abortion after filibustering for 11 hours in order to stall a bill, and ultimately delaying its passage beyond the midnight deadline for the end of the legislative session. The bill would have included more restrictive abortion regulations for Texas and would have closed all abortion clinics in the state.
Mario Correa penned the spec.
The package will now be shopped to studios and should court several suitors over the next week.
The role seems right up Bullock’s alley and could be another awards play for the star who won her first Oscar for playing Leigh Anne Tuohy in the real-life story “The Blind Side.” She just wrapped production on Warner Bros.’ “Ocean’s Eleven” spinoff, “Ocean’s Eight,” and is about start filming on the Netflix movie “Bird Box.”
UGH. Why Sandra? WHYYYYYY?????
Will they tell the story of her bailing on her husband mere DAYS after he paid of her law school debt?

LOL no. She’s a strong, independent who don’t need no man (after he pays for her law school debt, that is).
Shame on #SandraBullock for portraying pro abort Wendy David. Sandra is mom to 2 adopted children. She of all ppl should be #prolife!

Real blockbuster, I’m sure… 🙄 Hollywood’s work reflects the cesspool that it has become. It is rare they make anything worth watching these days.

Gross. Celebrating someone who tried to stand up for murdering babies is vile. https://t.co/gXRuQWdpMU

Desperate to get work? Understandable. Or desperate to give a lecture? That will end badly.
