Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock Might Zoom Back for Speed 3

Date:

Key Takeaways:

– Speed, an iconic action film, may get a third sequel after 30 years.
– Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, the original stars express interest in returning.
– 20th Century Studios pledges their involvement in the film’s development.

Hey there, action movie enthusiasts! Got a blast from the past for you. Remember the thrill we all got from ‘Speed’? That classic action flick turns 30 this year, and what’s more, talks about a third sequel, ‘Speed 3’, are finally catching speed. Can you believe it?

Our favorite SWAT officer, Jack Traven played by Keanu Reeves, and LA resident Annie Porter played by Sandra Bullock, might be back in action again. In the original film, Reeves and Bullock teamed up to deal with a terrorist and a bomb situation. What made it more intense was them falling in love amidst the chaos. It truly had it all.

Remember the sequel ‘Speed 2: Cruise Control’? It kind of fell short of the first one’s greatness. This time, Bullock had another LAPD officer at her side, a guy named Alex Shaw played by Jason Patric. Reeves didn’t return for the sequel because he wasn’t satisfied with the script. Smart move, Keanu. ‘Speed 2′ often gets slapped with the title of one of the worst sequels ever made.

Despite the sequel’s lackluster performance, Reeves is down to revive the franchise. That is, if the script lives up to the original. And guess what? Bullock’s onboard too. During a podcast interview, both stars revealed their willingness to breathe life back into their characters.

Keanu said, “I mean, you know — we’d freakin’ knock it out of the park.” They’re excited to work with each other again, and Bullock even joked about their roles. “Before I die, before I leave this planet, I do think that Keanu and I need to do something in front of the camera. Are we, you know, in wheelchairs or with walkers? Maybe. Are we on little scooters at Disneyland?” Reeves shared the same sentiment and said, “It does feel like there is a siren call to it, like there’s something that wasn’t done.”

The original ‘Speed’ director, Jan de Bont, was present during a screening where Bullock acknowledged his role in the movie’s success. But whether de Bont, who’s in his 80s now and hasn’t directed after ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life’, would return to direct ‘Speed 3’, is still wrapped in mystery.

So, does Hollywood have the guts to give us a worthy ‘Speed 3’? 20th Century Studios president Steve Asbell believes so. He said, “Hollywood is brave enough. We are brave enough. We are sitting by the phone.” Speed is a title close to their hearts, and they’re committed to deliver a sequel that gets Bullock and Reeves excited.

So, who’s ready for this ride of a lifetime? Will Reeves and Bullock reunite in front of the camera for ‘Speed 3’? And will the iconic director return to the fold? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: if ‘Speed 3’ finally hits the gas pedal, it could be a thrilling return to 90s action movie greatness. Don’t forget to drop your thoughts in the comment section below. Can’t wait to see if this dream team makes a speedy comeback!
