Sandra Bullock Movie Wardrobe to Be Sold at Online Auction

A sweat top and dress Sandra Bullock wore in the film "Speed" (co-starring Keanu Reeves and Dennis Hopper) will go up for auction on April 27. The outfit is part of BondedSale.com's auction and has a starting bid of $2,499 with no reserve. The most recognizable costume from the hit movie "Speed", the set includes the highly distinctive Arizona "Wildcats" sweat top heavily referred to by both Dennis Hopper and Keanu Reeves. Also included is the light flowery dress that she wears. This is one of 4 sets used in the movie according to information from Fox Studios wardrobe. The set was obtained by a woman in Queensland, Australia. She and a friend won a radio contest on B105 Brisbane in 1995. The contest was called "A Day in the Life of Keanu Reeves" and coincided with the film's video release. The grand prize was an all-expense paid trip to Los Angeles and a personal tour of 20th-Century Fox Studios. During the tour, an employee from the wardrobe department presented her with several items that Keanu Reeves wore on the film set as well as the Sandra Bullock worn sweat top and dress. We purchased the set directly from the owner. All of this is detailed in a statutory declaration along with other documentation from the original owner. An 8x10 movie promo and original movie poster will be included with the set.

The BondedSale.com auction begins on April 27 and runs for 6 days. It is the world’s first bonded online-auction event. Every participating seller has passed a comprehensive background check by buySAFE and is bonded by The Hartford. Buyers are financially protected since every purchase is guaranteed up to $10,000.

Celebrity Autographs at Strickler's Sports will also sell several authentic autographed entertainment related items including a Paul McCartney autographed promo placard, a U2/Bono group signed album and a Dave Matthews autographed acoustic guitar.
