Sandra Bullock will be getting quite the paycheck for her performance in "Gravity."

The Guardian reports that the Oscar-winning actress will be receiving a pay check of at least $70 million for her role as a stranded astronaut in the successful film.

"The Blind Side" actress secured a deal to take $20 million including 15% of the film's first dollar gross. According to a report by the Hollywood Reporter, the star is also set for a share of TV and DVD revenues.

While Sandra Bullock enjoys her "Gravity" paycheck and its ongoing success, Radaronline reports that the actress might be plotting a TV version of "Miss Congeniality."

A source who has worked closely with Bullock has told the gossip website that she "is planning on producing a comedic TV version of her smash movie series  'Miss Congeniality' that's being described as 'Bridesmaids' meets '24.'"

Sandra is not a stranger to television production. She reportedly made million producing "The George Lopez Show" from 2002 to 2007.

The Radar source continued, "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 insider explained that "The Heat" actress is looking for the perfect actress to play Hart.

As Sandra begins a new project, we can't deny that many fans are still talking about "Gravity" and its incredible production.

The film's director Alfonso Cuaron recently revealed during an interview with io9.com, that production was, in fact, incredibly difficult.

Although the film's "spectacular simplicity" had been applauded, Cuaron stated that he was constantly pressured to change the story.

There had reportedly been requests to include flashbacks and "pump up the action value."

We're glad the director followed his instincts.
