To commemorate the 30th anniversary of their cherished action thriller, the “Speed” co-stars got back together at Beyond Fest on Tuesday. Jan de Bont, the film’s director, also joined them for a Q&A.
Despite the fact that the conversation was monitored, a question concerning a potential third film managed to get in; Reeves and Bullock have both hesitated to provide a firm response in the past.
Bullock responds to the query in a video posted by fans, referring to her director as “the man who put the energy and the idea together.”
[He] knew what the audience wanted and demanded it from everyone. And everyone stepped up to the plate. So what would that movie be that would make Jan’s brain and brilliance happy?” she pondered.
“It would require a lot from everybody and I don’t know if we’re in an industry anymore that’s willing to tolerate it. And be brave enough to do it…I could be wrong,” she said. “I don’t know what we could do that would be good enough for the audience.
Months ago, Reeves and Bullock spoke on the “50 MPH” podcast (which was Bullock’s first interview in two years) and while Reeves was enthusiastic about doing another sequel, saying “We’d freakin’ knock it out of the park,” Bullock was more resound to just working with Reeves again.
