"Sandra loved her 'Miss Congeniality' FBI agent character Gracie Hart and the concept so much that for years she has continued to keep up friendships with FBI agents she met while researching it," the source reportedly said. "Sandra just feels like it's time to bring this story to a new generation."

"Everyone told me not to do 'Speed,'"
