Sandra Bullock told CNN that she had “no conscious desire to make a movie about 9/11,” but then she was approached by director Stephen Daldry to play the widow in the film adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer‘s novel.
“I read the script, and I saw a 9/11 movie being made through the eyes of a child. An innocent child who asks all the questions that we should be asking but we know there are no answers for,” Bullock explained. “I thought it was the most beautiful way to show grief [from] this incident, and to start the healing process.”
Bullock, who headed to REI before working out at Body by Simone in New York’s Soho neighborhood yesterday (December 13th), was in the city on September 11th, 2001. “I was here, I saw it,” Bullock recalled. “I saw the second plane, I saw people falling. It’s never left. I think if you’re here in New York and you saw and you felt and you heard, it doesn’t leave. I mean you can sort of quiet it, but you hear a sound, you see an image, you look up at the clear blue sky and see a beautiful building. It doesn’t go anywhere.”
