Keanu Reeves is sure that he and Sandra Bullock They could make a third movie Maximum speed. The action thriller Jan de Bont became the fourth highest-grossing film of 1994 with $350 million worldwide, largely due to the sizzling chemistry between Reeves and Bullock.
The film made the two actors one of the most iconic cinematic duos of the decade; They reunited on screen in 2006 for the romantic drama The lake House directed by the Argentinian Alejandro Agresti.
During a joint interview on the “50 MPH” podcast, Reeves had this to say about a new Top Speed: “I mean, you know, it would be a home run.”
“There is no formula. It just is,” Bullock said of their on-screen presence together. “TOBefore we die, before we leave this planet, I think Keanu and I should do something in front of the camera.. Are we, you know, in wheelchairs or with walkers? Maybe. “Are we on little scooters at Disneyland?”
“It feels like there’s a siren call, like there’s something that wasn’t done,” Reeves added. “I would love to work with you again before our eyes close.”
The failure of Top Speed 2
It remains to be seen if Reeves and Bullock’s next collaboration will be “Speed 3.” Only Bullock returned for the 1997 sequel, Maximum speed 2, which was an infamous box office and critical failure. Bullock told the TooFab portal in 2022 that “I’m still ashamed to have been in this”.
“That’s something I wish I hadn’t done, and as far as I know, no fans came except you,” Bullock added at the time.
Reeves declined to return after reading the sequel’s script, telling Graham Norton in 2021: “At the time, I didn’t respond to the script. I really wanted to work with Sandra Bullock, I loved playing Jack Traven and I loved ‘Speed’, but an ocean liner? I had nothing against the artists involved, but at the time I had the feeling that it just wasn’t right”.
