Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock to reunite on screen after 31 years for romantic thriller
Hollywood's beloved duo Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are teaming up once more — this time for a romantic thriller produced by Amazon MGM Studios.
PEOPLE has confirmed that the pair, who famously starred together in 1994's Speed and 2006's The Lake House, are returning to the screen for a new project that has fans buzzing.
The film's script is penned by Noah Oppenheim, known for writing the critically acclaimed biopic Jackie and co-creating Netflix's Zero Day, which stars Robert De Niro.
Also attached to the project is Mark Gordon, the original producer of Speed, bringing the reunion full circle.
Reeves and Bullock, both 60, recently marked the 30th anniversary of Speed by appearing at a special screening at the Egyptian Theatre during Beyond Fest.
Joined by director Jan de Bont, 80, the trio participated in a live talkback, sharing behind-the-scenes stories from the adrenaline-packed thriller.
In Speed, Reeves played Jack, an LAPD officer racing to stop a bus from exploding if its speed dropped below 50 mph. Bullock played Annie, the passenger-turned-driver navigating chaos on the road.
Together with Harry (Jeff Daniels), they faced off against Dennis Hopper's villainous Howard Payne. Reflecting on the film, Reeves said, 'We knew we were doing something wacky.'
Bullock added with a laugh, 'I was behind the wheel of a projectile, so I was just happy to be alive at the end of the day.'
When the audience at Beyond Fest cheered at the mention of a third Speed movie, de Bont playfully responded, 'I think it would be a different movie.'
Looking at the two stars, he added, 'It would be great to work with them [again].'
Bullock had her own spin on the idea, saying a third film would be 'the geriatric version. It won't be fast.'
Reeves, meanwhile, is keeping busy with several projects, including reprising his iconic role as John Wick in the Ballerina spin-off starring Ana de Armas, and portraying an angel in Aziz Ansari's upcoming comedy Good Fortune.
He's also producing an adaptation of his comic book BRZRKR, which he co-wrote with Matt Kindt, as both a film and anime series.
Bullock is currently working on a sequel to Practical Magic alongside Nicole Kidman, bringing more nostalgia to fans of her past hits.

Ginny and Georgia season 3: Only recap you need as anticipated Netflix series releases season 3
Ginny & Georgia returns for its highly anticipated third season on June 5th, releasing on Netflix. First premiering in 2021, the series continued its success with a second season in 2023. Despite the four-year gap between seasons, only a few months have passed in the timeline of the show, which follows the turbulent lives of Georgia Miller and her daughter, Ginny, in the small town of Wellsbury. Georgia's Criminal Past Remains Central Georgia's dark past continues to play a significant role in the series. She accidentally killed her first husband, Anthony Greene, by drugging him in an attempt to make him sleep. However, the drugs led to his death. Georgia subsequently called upon her former motorcycle gang to cover up the crime. Her second husband, Kenny Drexel, met a far more deliberate end when she poisoned him with wolfsbane in a smoothie after he made inappropriate advances toward Ginny. Private Investigator Continues to Chase Georgia Gabriel Cordova, the private investigator hired by Kenny's ex-wife, remains relentless in his pursuit of Georgia. Operating under the alias Jesse, Gabriel moved to Wellsbury and began dating Georgia's colleague, Nick. His suspicions about Georgia's involvement in Kenny's death led Ginny to uncover the truth. Though Gabriel nearly gave up his investigation, the suspicious death of Tom Fuller reignited his pursuit. Early Encounter With Joe Adds Depth Georgia's history with Joe, the owner of Blue Farm Café, dates back to when she was just 15 years old and pregnant. Their first meeting, when Joe gave Georgia sunglasses and a sandwich, left a lasting impression. As an adult, Georgia moved to Wellsbury and rekindled her connection with Joe, who still harbours feelings for her. Joe attended her wedding and offered support as a friend, showing the complexity of their relationship. Georgia's Relationship With Zion Remains Unresolved Zion, Ginny's father, shares a complicated history with Georgia. After meeting as teenagers and having Ginny together, Georgia left when Zion's parents tried to take custody of their daughter. Despite several reunions and separations, Zion remains emotionally tied to Georgia, even though he is now dating Simone. The unresolved feelings between Georgia and Zion continue to simmer. Austin's Action Adds Another Layer In season two, Austin's father, Gil, returned from prison. Georgia had framed him for embezzlement to escape his abuse. When Gil resumed his violent behaviour, Austin shot him in the arm to protect himself. Georgia and Ginny covered up the incident, and later, Mayor Paul ensured that Gil could no longer threaten Georgia. Ginny and Marcus End Relationship Ginny and Marcus' on-again, off-again relationship finally came to an end in season two. After Marcus fell into depression, he broke up with Ginny, who chose to support him as a friend. Despite the breakup, Marcus showed his support for Georgia by attending her wedding, highlighting the enduring complexities within their friendship. Friend Group Faces Separate Struggles Ginny's friends also experience their own challenges. Maxine began a relationship with costume designer Silver after her split with Sophie. Bracia started dating her longtime crush, Bryon. Meanwhile, Abby faced personal struggles, including hiding an eating disorder while dealing with her parents' divorce. Her condition remains a secret to her friends, adding another layer of tension to the group dynamic. Paul Learns the Truth Before Wedding Before their wedding, Georgia confessed her criminal past to Paul, though she omitted the details of the murders. Initially planning to leave town, Georgia was persuaded by Ginny to stay. In a surprising twist, Paul chose to marry Georgia anyway, accepting her past and taking steps to protect her from further threats, including those posed by Gil. Wedding Ends With Arrest The joyous occasion of Georgia's wedding took a dark turn when she was arrested during the reception for the murder of Tom Fuller. Days earlier, Georgia had smothered Tom, who was in a coma, as a favour to Cynthia Fuller, who had helped block Gil from renting a property in Wellsbury. Gabriel's suspicions were confirmed after Nick revealed Georgia's presence at Tom's death. Austin, who had witnessed Georgia kill Tom, created emotional tension going into season three. Season 3 Poised to Intensify Series Conflicts As Ginny & Georgia enters its third season, unresolved emotional, legal, and relational conflicts are set to intensify. The show continues to explore how Georgia's past actions impact those closest to her. With the dramatic shifts introduced in season two, viewers can expect even more gripping drama, personal revelations, and deeper consequences in the upcoming season.
