Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves keen to reunite on-screen and want to star in a potential Speed 3.
Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock have one of the most electric on-screen chemistry, not only because they are wonderful actors but also because they are good friends in real life. While the calls for them to share screen have been going on for a while, they were further amplified when both actors publicly acknowledged that they had a crush on each other while filming Speed.
While they since went on to star in the romantic The Lake House, it has been decades since the duo were seen together despite both stating multiple times that they are open to working with each other. And in a latest interview, the two again made similar claims.
Keanu Reeves & Sandra Bullock Want to Work Together
Among Hollywood’s most beloved on-screen pairs, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock probably occupy the first place in many fans’ lists. Their pairing is even more special thanks to their long friendship and regard for each other.
Often having stated that they would love to work together again, even fans have been dying for the duo to reunite on-screen. While Reeves stated to People that he was trying to find something for them to work together on, Bullock in 2021 told Esquire that she would love to star alongside him before they die.
Appearing together in a long while in a new interview, the two reiterated the same thing on the 50 MPH podcast.
“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?”
To this, Reeves added,
“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.”
While they went on to joke that they would have a Speed 3 set in Disneyland with Jack and Annie taking their grandchildren to the theme park, the idea doesn’t sound too bad as long as Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are in the lead.
Why a Speed 3 Sounds Better Than The Matrix 5
Calls for having a fifth part of The Matrix have been going on for a long time, yet when it comes to Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock sharing a screen, a Speed 3 sounds like a better choice. The first movie featured the two on-screen for the first time and has since become a cult classic thanks to their impeccable chemistry.
While The Matrix too has a charm of its own that makes it so popular, the prospect of Bullock and Reeves sharing the screen in a romantic thriller such as Speed 3 seems more enticing. Not only would it be kind of like a full circle moment for the two actors, but the unique concept of the movie will potentially have everything that fans expect from a Reeves-starrer movie: jaw-dropping action, thrilling fight scenes, dynamic chemistry, and the spectacle they crave.
Even Kris Tapley, the host of the 50 MPH podcast, stated how Speed 3 seems like the perfect movie for Reeves and Bullock to return. From their willingness to reunite to the calls for a potential Speed 3, we sincerely hope that Jan de Bont, the original director of Speed, takes notice and considers bringing the beloved duo back on screen together.
