HECHE TURNED DOWN SPEED ROLE
Actress ANNE HECHE was offered the female lead in SPEED before SANDRA BULLOCK landed the part - and admits she regrets her "ridiculous" decision to turn it down.
The former Ally McBeal star was lined up for the role which catapulted Oscar winner Bullock to fame opposite Keanu Reeves in the 1990s.
But Heche opted out of the project because she was immature and "unguided" - and now admits she would love to appear in a sequel.
Heche tells Movieline.com, "(I had) dumb opinions, like, ‘I can’t go in on Speed.’ You know? What?! Who in a million years… How or why any opinion in my brain would get formed around certain ideas. ‘No, no, I can’t do that… I couldn’t possibly.’ It was completely ridiculous opinions that I only had because of whatever I was thinking that day. Just unguided. I was an unguided soul. I hopefully have matured and become more guided…
"If they do a third Speed, I’m available. Sandra? There’s no way; she’s Woman of the Year. I’m free, if someone wants to write it, I’ll do it."
