When we talk about Keanu Reeves and action, we immediately think of The Matrix. Or John Wick, whose fourth episode just hit theaters worldwide with a record-breaking start on American soil, grossing more than $73 million in one weekend. But let’s not forget Speed, which proved its mettle in the genre after Point Break.
Released in 1994, Speed revolved around the brilliant concept of a bus bomb that could explode if its speed dropped below 80 kilometers per hour. Also starring Sandra Bullock and Dennis Hopper, the feature film earned 350 million green tickets worldwide and attracted 2.4 million viewers in France, becoming one of the biggest hits of the year.
Because the idea of giving a sequel to a feature film that works isn’t yesterday, Episode 2 started. Still with Sandra Bullock, but without Keanu Reeves, more temptation with the Devil’s associate Al Pacino.
The action is shifted to a boat this time and the film is not far from sinking. A public and critical failure, Speed 2 would hurt the respective careers of director Ian de Bont and Jason Patrick, the film’s protagonist, in addition to bringing the young saga to an end.
Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in the movie “Speed”
surely So far. But many franchises took time to resurrect, and the question of Speed \u200b\u200b3 regularly comes up in discussions. As soon as Keanu Reeves actually releases a new movie. That’s why the actor didn’t run away while promoting John Wick 4, and he’s not closing the door on a return as Jack Traven.
“I never imagined it, so to be able to take on roles, especially ones you love, is something special, I’ll admit that.”she said Looper.
“Being in John Wick 4 is something. As for reprising the role, I don’t know – but let’s put Jack Traven in the Comeback Machine.”
A “Why not ?” than A “yes” Honest and massive, which is also explained by the fact that a sequel has not really been announced and that the question of a return is currently hypothetical. What if things really change next year for Speed’s 30th anniversary? This time by train or plane, after bus and boat?
