Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock to reunite for new movie
Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are reuniting for a new movie.
The pair – who previously co-starred in 1994 action thriller 'Speed' and 2006 romance fantasy 'The Lake House' – are set to join forces for an unnamed romantic thriller for at Amazon MGM Studios.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the plot for the film – which is being penned by 'Jackie' scribe Noah Oppenheim – has been described as 'propulsive'.
Mark Gordon – who produced 'Speed' – will produce the movie with Reeves and Bibby Dunn via The Mark Gordon Company, along with Bullock for Fortis Films and Oppenheim and Sarah Bremner for Prologue Entertainment.
Just last year, Reeves and Bullock revealed they were keen to reunite on screen again.
During a joint interview on the '50 MPH' podcast, Keanu spoke about a possible 'Speed 3', saying: 'I mean, you know — we'd freakin' knock it out of the park.'
Sandra added: 'There's no formula. It just is. 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?'
Keanu said: 'It does feel like there is a siren call to it, like there's something that wasn't done. I would love to work with you again before our eyes close.'
Speaking about 'Speed', he said: 'We had an affection. And the characters themselves have an affection. I think Jack and Annie's is different than Sandra's and Keanu's, but I think we played off each other and I think it was just fun. I think, also, we kind of trusted each other, right?'
Sandra replied: 'Yeah. I mean, people have full-blown affairs in movies, and you don't feel something between them. And then people can hate each other in movies and you go, 'That was electric,' you know? We didn't really look at each other in this movie except for maybe three or four times, because we were constantly battling the elements. And I think that's what made it so electric, too, is that, watching it, I guess you want them to connect. That was a really clever setup, to sort of keep people apart. Foreplay, I guess.'

Renee Zellweger wants more Bridget Jones movies
Renee Zellweger is keeping her "fingers crossed" for more Bridget Jones movies. The 56-year-old actress - who has played her TV producer-and-reporter alter ego since 2001 - thought 2025's Mad About the Boy was the last film in the franchise, based on the novels by Helen Fielding. But the Hollywood star is hoping Helen will want to share more of her career, as well as family, friends and romantic relationships experiences through more books and, potentially, more films. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Zellweger said: "My understanding was that this was kind of it, but I keep my fingers crossed that she might want to share some more of her own experiences through the world of Bridget." Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy's director Michael Morris said more "chapters" would make sense, given Helen's children Dash and Romy are going to university. Morris said: "And look who we've got: Chiwetel Ejiofor in the world now, and we've got Leo Woodall in the world now. "We've got all these fantastic people and Helen's got her life, her kids are going to college. Let's hope for more chapters." Mad About the Boy follows Bridget's life as a widowed single mom after her husband Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) dies, but she confronts her grief with Mark in the form of a vision. And Renee admitted it was "impossible" to not cry in the scene where Bridget and Mark talk on the sidewalk outside the house because the "real-life journey" of sharing their love story with Colin was ending. She said: "That was, ''I'm not supposed to cry in the scene,' and it's impossible not to cry in that scene. "It was such a strange day seeing Colin there in his Mark Darcy finery. I had this moment of realisation that the real-life journey of sharing the Bridget and Mark Darcy love story with my friend was coming to an end. "It really felt like a profound moment thinking about the nearly 30 years we've shared in telling this story. Then I thought, 'Yeah, I don't want this to end. I love Mark and Bridget!' Agreeing that it was an emotional scene, Morris said: "What I love so much about your performance in that moment - it's critical actually for how we are setting up this particular story of this woman's journey on from her great love - is that while standing in the doorway, after experiencing all those feelings you just talked about, the character Jeremy (Neil Edmond) answers the door. "He is obviously upset on this anniversary of his friend's death, and it's Bridget who consoles him. It's Bridget who hugs him and says, 'It's OK.' "Then your voiceover comes in and we go into the scene as the audience is feeling this loss, and it's Bridget who is looking after us. "She's saying that this is what happened and, 'I'm OK.' "That's so Bridget in the way that you've made her over the years. When she wallows, she wallows. But for the rest of her life, she doesn't. "I found that a really wonderful way to begin. All of the sadness was there, all the nostalgia was there, all the yearning for the past. But you were really present: you Renée, you Bridget."

Alex Winter teases 'very personal' reunion with Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves had a "crazy, inspired idea" that led to him and Alex Winter reuniting on Broadway. The Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure stars are set to appear in a revival of Waiting for Godot and Alex - who will play Vladimir opposite Keanu as Estragon in the adaptation of Samuel Beckett's classic work - credits his friend for their reunion. Speaking on the red carpet at the Tony Awards in New York City on Sunday (08.06.25), Alex told People magazine he and Keanu had "wanted to work together" again. He added: "We have known each other a very long time — [which is fitting for] a play about two people who have known each other a very long time. ... And Keanu had this crazy, inspired idea that suddenly turned into reality, for both of us." And Alex, 59, teased the production is "very, very personal" to himself and Keanu, 60. Asked what fans can expect from Waiting For Godot, he said: "I think every time the play is done, it's different, because of who's playing it. It's very, very personal, and so we're bringing ourselves to it." The two stars previously admitted they find it easy to work together because of their friendship. In a video conversation with director Jamie Lloyd about Waiting for Godot shared with People magazine, Alex said: "It's like being in a band together. We kind of know each other's rhythms. "Being able to bring that into, onto a stage, that's sort of our fundamental. That's in our bones away." Keanu added: "The films that we did together, the Bill and Ted films, the language in those films had the architecture and their rhythms. "Even from early days, we approached them theatrically or even commedia dell'arte, 'Okay, I do something, you do something, I get the ball, you get the ball.' " "That's why, in the audition, we were so vibed. Because you didn't get that from other actors so much." Waiting for Godot begins previews at the Hudson Theater in New York on 13 September ahead of a limited run from 28 September to 4 January.

Mindy Kaling's 'superstitions' influence her acting career
Mindy Kaling's superstitions have stopped her from appearing in Never Have I Ever. The 45-year-old actress co-created the hit Netflix series, which is set in the San Fernando Valley in California, and Mindy has now revealed why she didn't cast herself in the show. Mindy - who previously co-created The Sex Lives of College Girls - told The Hollywood Reporter: "A show literally about an Indian American family in southern California, and if I wasn't on that - what's wrong with me? "I think there is a part of me that feels a little superstitious. I'm like, 'these seem to have gone well and I'm not in them so maybe I'll wait.'" Despite this, Mindy plans to return to acting soon. She shared: "I miss it. I would like to write or co-create a show for me to act in soon." Mindy would actually love to combine acting and directing in the coming years. She said: "I would love to do that again. "That's the thing that maybe in the next couple of years, when I launch a couple of other things that are earlier in the pipeline, that would be something that would be fun to do again." Mindy previously admitted that she feels most comfortable writing about "strivers and dorks". The Hollywood star is a huge fan of the X-rated drama series Euphoria - which stars the likes of Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney - but Mindy doubts she could write a similar type of TV show. Mindy - who recently co-created the sports comedy Running Point - told The Hollywood Reporter: "I love Euphoria' and I think [creator] Sam [Levinson] is like a genius. I think he has a lot to say about things like sex and drug use and addiction and those are incredibly interesting, but we don't have a ton of experience in that. "I watch that show on the edge of my seat, vicariously, but I feel like nerds lusting over guys is more what we feel comfortable writing about so that's why we do this. We write about strivers and dorks and people who are underestimated."
