The action classic Speed celebrated its 30th anniversary this year – and this might also be the year when a Speed 3 finally starts to get rolling toward production. Directed by Jan de Bont, the original film starred Keanu Reeves as LAPD Swat officer Jack Traven and Sandra Bullock as Annie Porter, an LA resident unlucky enough to be a passenger that a terrorist has planted a bomb on. Jack and Annie fell in love while dealing with that situation… but when Speed 2: Cruise Control came along three years later, Reeves did not return to the action alongside Bullock and de Bont. Instead, when Annie gets mixed up in another terrorist situation while on a cruise ship, she had a different man by her side: LAPD officer Alex Shaw, played by Jason Patric. Reeves skipped Speed 2: Cruise Control because he wasn’t satisfied with the script; which turned out to be a good call,...

20th Century Studios is (like everyone else in Hollywood) in the business of scrapping the bottom of the barrel for any piece of exploitable IP that can salvage the disastrous box office. Recently, we learned that the "Predator" franchise is not only coming back with a new theatrical release, but that there's even the possibility of another "Alien vs. Predator" movie in addition to the "Alien: Romulus" sequel that's (obviously) already in the works. On top of all that, and much more surprisingly, it seems that Jack Aubrey is closer than ever to returning to the big screen in a "Master and Commander" prequel some 20 years after the original film.
Still, the first "Master and Commander" was a critical success and earned many an Oscar nomination, while the first "Alien vs. Predator" movie was pretty lucrative. Making more of those, especially when both the "Predator" film "Prey" and "Romulus" proved popular and successful,...

Film executive Steve Asbell has revealed a third ‘Speed’ movie is not out of the question.Fans of the 1994 action flick - which starred Keanu Reeves, 60, and Sandra Bullock, also 60 - have been patiently waiting for another instalment in the series after the disappointing 1997 sequel ‘Speed 2: Cruise Control’, and now the 20th Century Studios boss has insisted a third film is possible, but only if they find an idea that "excites" the two actors. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Asbell said of ‘Speed’: "It is one of those last movies that we haven’t remade. And to really be a reason to come back, it’s got to be a great idea and an idea that excites [Reeves and Bullock]. "Because that’d be the reason to see it. It’s obviously a really important title for us, but it’s not something we would handle lightly or...

Keanu Reeves’ beard was a prickly subject for “John Wick” financiers. Franchise directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch revealed there’s an unusual reason why the backers of their action classic were anti-facial hair.
During an interview with Business Insider discussing the 10th anniversary of the 2014 film, Stahelski recalled the “John Wick” team having “caught a lot of shit” for wanting Reeves’ character to have a beard.
“We felt you can’t fire us, so first day of shooting, we had Keanu in the beard, and later that week, when they watched the dailies, with cinematographer Jonathan Sela’s now-famous half-light shots, people fucking loved it,” Stahelski said.
So what was their objection? A tired one. Leitch said they were given the “classic studio line” that Reeves “needs to be clean-shaven for international” audiences.
“We wanted to do something cool with Keanu,” Stahelski said. “But the money people, they wanted to see Keanu fucking Reeves.

Sandra Bullock is one of the most prolific actors working in Hollywood. Hitting her peak in the ‘90s and the 2000s with her fun and approachable characters, Bullock went into dramatic territory with films like The Blind Side and Gravity. She earned Oscar nominations for both films, with the forming winning her the coveted award.
While Bullock had explored her dramatic side, she had never done a role that was disturbing before the Netflix film The Unforgivable. Playing a murderer who is released from prison after twenty years, Bullock claimed that though she had never played a role like this before, it still showed a side of her that existed within her.

Sandra Bullock is one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood, and any movie with her name included in its cast can be blindly considered a hit. Well… let’s say not all of them. Either way, Bullock has racked up millions over the years acting in projects like Bird Box, The Blind Side, Miss Congeniality, and many more.

John Wick came out ten years ago, and its directors have been reflecting on issues over Keanu Reeves and his beard ahead of filming.
The action franchise John Wick is celebrating is tenth birthday, remarkably, and from its relatively low budget roots, it’s turned into something of a juggernaut. Four films so far, with spin-off movie Ballerina arriving next year. That, and TV projects too. Not bad.
The original film was directed by Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, and in a conversation with Business Insider, they’ve lifted the lid on the arguments surrounding the first movie. It turns out that facial hair, specifically Keanu Reeves’ facial hair, was originally on the list.
Chad Stahelski revealed to the outlet that “we were trying to do a modern-day Greek mythology fantasy movie. That’s not mainstream. So we wanted to do something cool with Keanu.”

“John Wick” directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch marked the 10th anniversary of their action movie by speaking to Business Insider about the various battles they had to overcome in order to launch the Keanu Reeves-led franchise. One of the most surprising arguments centered on the actor’s beard, as the financiers of “John Wick” preferred the star to be clean shaven like his famous turns in “Point Break,” “Speed” and “The Matrix.”
“Absolutely. We were trying to do a modern-day Greek mythology fantasy movie. That’s not mainstream. So we wanted to do something cool with Keanu,” Stahelski said about the beard. “But the money people, they wanted to see Keanu fucking Reeves. ‘Point Break’ Keanu, ‘Speed’ Keanu. And I don’t know if this exists anymore, but at the time we were told by the powers that be you don’t cover up your leading man’s face with a beard.

Back in 1994, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock came together to deliver one of the most thrilling action flicks of all time, Speed. Shot almost entirely on a bus, the movie grasps your attention right from the get-go, making sure your eyes are always on the screen, no matter what. The movie was very well-received by both critics and fans and is still considered one of the best additions to the genre. It eventually gave birth to a sequel, Speed 2: Cruise Control, but we don’t talk about that.

Keanu Reeves has been an absolute favorite of many film critics and audiences. His career has been very interesting since this actor has been open to starring in almost any genre. However, he has been mostly known for his action-driven films. For example, a lot of action movie lovers recognize him for the Matrix films and John Wick series. What they don’t know is how he has struggled in his personal life as well as experimented with other genres.
Reeves was born on September 2nd, 1964, in Beirut, Lebanon. He was raised in Toronto, Canada. He is of Chinese-Hawaiian descent from his father’s side. His father was a geologist. Reeves had a mother that worked in the industry as a performer and later designed costumes. His parents divorced nonetheless. He ended up residing with his mother and sister. As he got older, he developed a keen interest in acting.

Sandra Bullock's name above the title has meant mega-bucks for movie studios over the last 37 years. Combined, her movies have grossed billions of dollars at the global box office, making her one of the most bankable stars of her generation. She's done it by mostly exhibiting good taste in material and, of course, being her irresistibly bubbly self. Everyone, it seems, loves Sandy.
Bullock has a lot to be proud of (most notably the Best Actress Oscar she won for 2009's "The Blind Side"), but when it comes to her bombs, she'll be the first to tell you how lousy they are. She's earned the right to dish on disappointments like "All About Steve," "Two If By Sea" and, dear god, George Sluizer's Hollywoodized remake of his masterful Dutch thriller "The Vanishing." Hang around long enough in the film industry, and you're bound to appear in a stinker or two.

Sandra Bullock is no stranger to Hollywood, having starred in many movies, from comedies to thrillers, and dramas to romantic films. Although most of the 60-year-old’s films have been successful, some have been seen as completely nonsensical yet hilarious hits. But even an A-list actress like her isn’t immune to the occasional jab about her projects.

In the three decades since they made the action classic “Speed,” director Jan de Bont and actors Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock have never gotten together in public to talk about it — until now. To celebrate the film’s 30th anniversary, de Bont, Reeves, and Bullock participated in a live discussion at the American Cinematheque’s Beyond Fest in front of a sold-out crowd at Hollywood’s historic Egyptian Theatre. The conversation covered “Speed” from casting through post-production, with de Bont, Reeves, and Bullock providing plenty of memorable anecdotes about the filmmaking process and how the movie’s success changed their lives.
During the Q&a, which is now available in its entirety as an episode of IndieWire’s Filmmaker Toolkit podcast, de Bont reflected on the film’s famous set pieces, including the stunt where the bus, in which most of the action takes place, jumps across a missing section of L.

Before Sandra Bullock became one of the highest-paid actresses and one of the most revered ones in Hollywood, she was a struggling performer who had featured in TV films and independent films. The actress got her big breakthrough when she starred in Speed along with Keanu Reeves, which went on to earn $350 million against a $37 million budget.
The action film is best known for its bus stunt sequences and edge-of-the-seat thrilling scenes. The film, along with Point Break, established him as an action hero. While Bullock became a huge star after the film, she joked that she was only chosen because if she died while filming, it would not be a huge headline because she was not a big actor.

Marking the Jan de Bont action flick’s 30th anniversary, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock reunited with the director on Tuesday at Beyond Fest, where the actors recalled being “a little under-informed” about where the bus was steering.
“Don’t you remember that day on the bus, though?” Reeves asked, according to IndieWire. “When we were crashing through all the cars on the street? I remember we were a little under-informed. We were all on the bus and then we were driving down by San Diego or something. We were set by the ocean, and all of a sudden, we’re actually hitting cars. Boom! Boom!

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock caused a bit of a stir during the production of their iconic 1994 action film “Speed” — and it wasn’t because of their shared star power.
During a Beyond Fest 2024 panel moderated by IndieWire editor Jim Hemphill, both actors reflected on how maneuvering one of the buses used in the film led to real car accidents. Jan de Bont’s blockbuster recently celebrated its 30th anniversary.
“Don’t you remember that day on the bus, though?” Reeves asked Bullock onstage. “When we were crashing through all the cars on the street? I remember we were a little under-informed. We were all on the bus and then we were driving down by San Diego or something. We were set by the ocean, and all of a sudden, we’re actually hitting cars. Boom! Boom!”
Reeves continued, “Everyone on their bus lost their mind. People were screaming.”

Sandra Bullock doesn’t think the movie industry is "brave enough" to make a third ‘Speed’ film.The 60-year-old actress starred opposite Keanu Reeves in the 1994 action flick - as well as returning with Jason Patric for its derided sequel ‘Speed 2: Cruise Control’ - though has now admitted the chances of director Jan de Bont being given the opportunity to helm another bombastic instalment in the series are slim-to-none.Appearing alongside Reeves and de Bont at a Q+A session during a 30th-anniversary screening of the movie, Bullock said: "The geriatric version. It won’t be fast. "All these things happened because the crazy man [de Bont] in the greenish jacket over there. He’s so soft and gentle today and I’m like, ‘That’s not the man I remember.’ But he’s the man who put the energy and the idea together, knew what the audience wanted and demanded...

Earlier this summer, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock would reunite for an interview on the 50 Mph podcast, where they were asked the inevitable question of whether there will be a Speed 3. Reeves would show his confidence that he and Bullock could do it when he said, “I mean, you know — we’d freakin’ knock it out of the park.” Bullock noted that their chemistry is too good to let go to waste, “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 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.“

Beyond Fest hit overdrive Tuesday night with an electric anniversary screening of Jan de Bont’s iconic blockbuster Speed followed by an epic 50-minute Q&a with the filmmaker and his stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in a reunion 30 years in the making.
It was clear long before showtime that the event — part of the American Cinematheque at Egyptian Theatre series — would be special. Reeves, Bullock and de Bont had never previously shared the same stage to discuss their work on the 1994 film, which became a surprise hit after it grossed north of $350 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. It’s been more than a decade since Reeves and Bullock had a public outing together though they often have nice things to say about one another on talk shows or in magazines.

Vor gut drei Jahrzehnten war dieser kleine Ort mit heute rund 10.000 Einwohnern vor den Toren von Frankfurt noch keiner, dem man in Reihen der Kinobranche größere Bedeutung zugemessen hätte. Tatsächlich gibt Kinopolis-Geschäftsführer Gregory Theile zu, dass die Entscheidung, das erste Multiplex des Unternehmens just an diesem Standort als Teil eines neuen Einkaufszentrums zu errichten, einst mitunter sehr kritisch beäugt wurde. Nun, die damaligen Unkenrufe verstummten schnell. Denn was mit dem Kinopolis Main-Taunus am 13.

WandaVision series introduced two of the Scarlet Witch’s sons, Billy and Tommy. However, Jac Schaeffer’s series didn’t properly set them up to be their comic book counterparts, Wiccan and Speed. Marvel then went on to make a spin-off from the Elizabeth Olsen series, centered around the villain character played by Kathryn Hahn, Agatha Harkness.

Have you ever found yourself rooting for the underdog, then rejoicing as they thumb their noses at fate and come out on top? Well, Sandra Bullock in Speed is a prime example of why the phrase “when one door closes, another opens” is gospel truth. Rejected initially yet taking on a pivotal role that redefined her career, this actress, 60, dealt with the Speed snub in a way that would make even the steely-eyed Clint Eastwood grin.

"Die Hard" turned Bruce Willis into an action star. The actor, previously known for his role on ABC's comedy-drama "Moonlighting," introduced audiences to the reluctant everyman action hero which has since become an archetype of the genre. NYPD detective John McClane also became Willis' best-known role and remains one of the most beloved action icons to this day. Naturally, Hollywood was eager to parlay the success of the original film into a franchise, and so a sequel was quickly produced in 1990. It wasn't quite the hit and cultural touchstone that the first movie had been, but it wasn't without its charms. Then, a third movie materialized which cemented John McClane as an enduring on-screen hero.
As "Die Hard" movies go, 1995's "Die Hard with a Vengeance" is actually one of the better ones. That's mostly due to the two legacy sequels that were churned out in 2007 and 2013 being impressively forgettable.

Let’s face it—making an action flick as perfect as Jan de Bont’s Speed is no cakewalk. That 1994 barnburner, featuring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, ran circles around our expectations and became an instant classic. Do you remember the bomber’s dastardly plan? The one where the bus had to stay above 50 miles per hour or it would go up in smoke! This film masterfully wove suspense and action, creating an indelible ride!

Get busy livin’ or get busy dyin’. Ironically enough, The Shawshank Redemption was far from livin’ when it was released in 1994, yet, that didn’t mean it was busy dyin’. The Shawshank Redemption may have had a slow crawl through the pipes before it gained the following it has now, but those that knew knew – and they made sure others did, too. Even still, it only peaked at #8 at the box office, only slowly accumulating the wide fanbase it has now. Really, only years after its initial release did people truly come around. And with that, we mark another anniversary, with The Shawshank Redemption celebrating its 30th this month.
As The Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont told The Daily Beast, the movie lives on in a way that the awards season couldn’t have predicted. “It hasn’t really gone away. Its initial release wasn’t that successful. In fact,...

Sandra Bullock is a name that immediately takes us back to one of the greatest action films ever made, Speed (1994). Over the years, the 60-year-old actress starred in many box office hits, and it wasn’t just her role as Annie Porter that brought her a lot of recognition in the world of entertainment. Bullock had to work extremely hard before landing major roles in the industry.
The Gravity actress was born on July 26, 1964, to John W. Bullock and Helga Mathilde Meyer in Arlington, Virginia. While both her parents were vocal experts, Bullock loved acting and cheerleading while growing up.

Another fact about the A-lister is that she spent a little over a decade in Germany since her father was stationed as the Army’s Military Postal Service in charge. It was during his time in Nuremberg that he met Meyer.

Tom Cruise could’ve played gangster Henry Hill in Martin Scorsese’s epic gangster film Goodfellas. Cruise was, at one point, considered for the role that eventually went to Ray Liotta. The Mission: Impossible actor worked with Scorsese in the film, The Color of Money, in 1986. Interestingly, the filmmakers tried to pair Cruise with Madonna in this film.

Liotta constantly campaigned for a role in Goodfellas after reading the source material, Nicholas Pileggi’s novel Wiseguy, when it was released. He managed to win over both Scorsese and producer Irwin Winkler, beating other famous actors in the process. Goodfellas, one of the greatest films in film history, was snubbed at the Oscars in a major way.

In the 1990s -- back when the internet was new and smartphones didn't yet exist -- there was a healthy amount of skepticism about new technology. "Cyberspace," a term coined by sci-fi author William Gibson, was a terrifying new concept for some, and many Luddites feared it. A stationary network of millions of unknown users? And they're all tapping into the same ineffable, electric realm of information that's Not inside my personal computer? It's like someone peeled back a layer of reality and revealed a whole new dimension. Indeed, Brett Leonard's 1992 sci-fi/horror film "The Lawnmower Man" refers to the 'net in those exact terms. That film also posited that Virtual Reality would come to replace real reality.
Throughout the decade, audiences were treated to numerous paranoid cyberthrillers that alternately vaunted the possibilities of the internet while also pointing out its potential for destruction. This was the age that...
