His laugh is contagious, and more when he talks about the things he is pᴀssionate about. How to act.

Sandra Bullock is in Los Angeles, California, an instance that she takes the opportunity to share with Publimetro some details of upcoming film releases such as “Armed and Dangerous” and “Gravity”, directed by the Mexican Alfonso Cuarón.

Sandra has been selective with her projects after winning an Oscar in 2010 for “A Possible Dream”, but this year we will see her frequently in theaters. In October, “Gravity” premieres in the US, Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón (“Y tu mamá también”)’s first foray into science fiction, where Bullock gives life to Dr. Ryan Stone, a medical engineer who embarks on her first mission on a shuttle with astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) and ends up stranded in space after her shuttle is destroyed.

“It is a raw film. My face appears close-up and without any makeup, but Alfonso (Cuarón) is a very brilliant director”, says the actress.

Meanwhile, in the US the premiere of “Armed and Dangerous” (which arrives in Chile in October) is coming, Bullock’s long-awaited return to comedy. Directed by the person in charge of “Ladies at War”, in it Sandra plays FBI agent Sarah Ashburn, who has to team up with police officer Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) to catch a drug dealer.

And yes, she’s an FBI agent again, just like in “Miss Congeniality”. Compared to when you started, what do you look at now to make a tape?

-I think that in the structure of a script. For example, in “Armed and Dangerous”, the writer described the characters in such a way that there was no way to find anything wrong with it. I also think about improvisation and the whole world of stand up; that’s a set for doing free form comedy. On set it was the combination of those two worlds: a great script and an ᴀssignment to play with it.

Is it difficult to be a police officer in the cinema?

-I need a lot of practice (laughs). It is not the first time that I play police; perhaps the only difficult thing is carrying the weapon. I went to a shooting range with an officer from Boston and trained for a while. I wanted to make sure that I looked like a very competent policewoman, who handled a firearm every day of her life. I don’t think anyone should have a gun in her hand, unless she has some knowledge of how dangerous it is. I think I have a very healthy relationship with those objects, which is just a tool in a movie. I don’t like them anywhere else.
