Keanu Reeves in Speed with Jason Patric and Sandra Bullock from Speed 2.
The original launched Keanu Reeves as an action star, but he passed on Speed 2 with good reason. While he had fronted Point Break a few years earlier, it was Speed that transformed Reeves into an action lead. The movie's success led to all the Keanu Reeves action movies that followed, but he was wise enough to pass on 1997's Speed 2: Cruise Control when it was offered.
Posts1 ✕ Remove Ads Keanu Reeves Was Not Happy With The Script For Speed 2 Even Keanu thought the cruise ship idea was dumb Close When Keanu was handed the script for Cruise Control, the star immediately pointed out the sequel's flaw; namely, calling a movie Speed while setting it on a cruise ship, which have max speeds of around 30mph.
This is seemingly breezed past so audiences don't spend much time thinking about the sequel's lack of Keanu. The sequel has an in-built excuse for Jack's absence though. In the original film, Annie joked that"relationships based on intense experiences never work." Of course, the events of Speed qualify in that regard, so maybe after the intensity of that day wore off, Annie and Jack learned they didn't have much in common and decided to end things.
Speed 3 With Sandra Bullock And Keanu Reeves Could Still Happen Maybe there's hope for Speed's Jack and Annie after all ✕ Remove Ads 2024 marked the 30th anniversary of Speed, and it feels like love for the movie is stronger than ever. Reeves and Bullock even reunited with director Jan de Bont for an anniversary screening and expressed a tentative interest in a third Speed - if the right concept came together.
