Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock might be down for Speed 3.
The Speed stars stopped by the 50 MPH podcast to discuss the 1994 action-thriller, alongside their fellow co-stars Jeff Daniels, Alan Ruck and Dennis Hopper.
When asked about a possible threequel, the Matrix star said, “I mean, you know — we’d freakin’ knock it out of the park.” Bullock chimed in, saying that she may be up for it, “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 echoed her sentiment, adding that it can’t be forced, despite their seeming interest. “It does feel like there is a siren call to it, like there’s something that wasn’t done,” he said. “I would love to work with you again before our eyes close.”
Three years after the release of the Jan de Bont film, Bullock starred in a sequel, but Reeves did not. Looking back over the years, The Proposal star noted that she regretted partaking in the second installment, which was broadly panned.
But despite Reeves and Bullock not partnering up for Speed 2, the actors reflected positively on their time together in the first film.
“We had an affection,” the John Wick star said on the podcast. “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?”
The Miss Congeniality star added that their connection on set helped fans root for their characters in the project. “I felt very comfortable with Keanu,” she said. “There was nothing that I couldn’t try or do or say that he wouldn’t have, I felt, fought for me to do or say or try, and that kind of trust is very rare with actors. Anytime I threw something his way, he swatted it right back and you just go, ‘OK, there’s my partner.’”
