Sandra Bullock's "The Heat" Gets Special Screening For Boston Cops [VIDEO]

Paul Feig, who directed Sanda Bullock's upcoming cop movie "The Heat", said he wanted a special screening of the film in Boston as a tribute to the city after Monday's horrendous bombing during the Boston Marathon.

Feig, who also directed the comedy hit "Bridesmaid," said "the movie is such a love letter to Boston. A lot of our cast are Boston people, either born or raised. So we really would like to support that city. I love that city."

Sandra Bullock thinks the special screening for the city is "A great idea" and is certain that despite the tragic events that took place in the city on Monday, the people of Boston will bounce back from this.

"That city is made up of amazing, strong, loyal, kind, giving people and you saw that once everything happened," she said. "You saw the amount of people that rushed into the danger and just helped everyone. All tragedies, it brings out the best in people and you just see what a great, great, great place Boston is."

"It's been an amazing tight-knit community before this happened, and it just bonded a community even more. I don't think a screening would ever be enough to do for them," Bullock added.

Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy are co-stars in the upcoming female buddy cop comedy that was filmed entirely in Boston.

The film is about an unlikely and therefore comical duo working on the Boston Police squad together.

Sandra Bullock plays uptight and straight-laced FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn. She's a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence - and arrogance.

Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), is one of Boston P.D.'s 'finest,' is foul-mouthed and has a very short fuse, and uses her gut instinct and street smarts to catch the most elusive criminals.

The movie comes out in theaters on June 28, 2013.
