Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock team up for a steamy romantic thriller 20 years after Speed
Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are officially reuniting after 20 years
According to Entertainment Weekly, the film is still "untitled," but the premise is already giving us butterflies and chaos, the perfect cinematic cocktail. Described as a 'propulsive' romantic thriller (insert dramatic music), the project is currently in development at MGM Studios. And guess what? Keanu and Sandra are not just acting in it, they are producing it too.
What is the new film about?
The screenplay is being penned by Noah Oppenheim, best known for Jackie and The Maze Runner, which means we are likely in for a high-stakes emotional rollercoaster. Plus, Speed producer Mark Gordon is also on board. So basically, the band is back together, and it is about time.
What was the film Speed about?
Let us not forget the magic these two brought to the screen. Speed (1994) did not just break the box office, it launched both stars into Hollywood royalty. While Keanu cemented his status as an action icon, Sandra became everyone's '90s rom-com dream girl. They reunited briefly for 2006's The Lake House, but due to its time-warp plot, the pair had barely any screen time together, tragic, honestly.
Is Speed 3 in talks?
At a Speed screening last year, Sandra joked that a third film would probably be 'the geriatric version' and Keanu cheekily responded with 'retirement.' Both hinted that bringing back Speed without OG director Jan de Bont would not feel right. Sandra even credited him as the chaos-brained genius who pulled the original together, saying he knew exactly what the audience needed before anyone else did.
As for now, Keanu is busy with John Wick 5 and an Aziz Ansari comedy, while Sandra is set to bring back witchy vibes in the Practical Magic sequel with Nicole Kidman. But this romantic thriller reunion? It is what the people wanted. And it is what they are getting.
