The pair will star in an upcoming romantic thriller produced by Amazon MGM Studios, marking their first collaboration since The Lake House in 2006.
A Nostalgic Look Back at Speed
Released on June 10, 1994, Speed became an instant classic, following LAPD officer Jack Traven (Reeves) as he races against time to prevent a bomb from detonating on a bus that must maintain a speed of 50 mph or higher. Alongside passenger Annie Porter (Bullock), the film showcased their undeniable chemistry, solidifying their status as one of Hollywood’s most memorable on-screen duos.
Could Speed 3 Be on the Horizon?
Rumors of a potential Speed 3 have circulated for years, with director Jan de Bont hinting at a fresh take on the franchise. If Reeves and Bullock agree to return, the film would reportedly move away from the bus chase format, introducing new action sequences. Bullock humorously suggested that Speed 3 would be “the geriatric version”, joking that it “won’t be fast”.
