BACKGROUND
Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock had an epic reunion…preparing for a special 30th anniversary screening of their iconic film, “Speed.”
Yes, it’s hard to believe it’s been three decades since the action thriller launched Sandra to stardom — and she looked just as stunning as she did back then when she arrived at Hollywood’s Egyptian Theater shortly after Keanu made his entrance on Tuesday night.
The film solidified Keanu’s leading man status… and he was back in charge last night, signing autographs before heading into the venue for an adrenaline-fueled dose of nostalgia.
In the 1994 film, Keanu plays a police officer tasked with stopping a bomb from detonating on a bus by keeping the vehicle’s speed above 50 MPH. Sandra’s character is a passenger turned driver and becomes involved in the mission as events unfold.
The film was an instant hit, although its 1997 sequel went down in flames with critics – perhaps because Keanu skipped that one. But earlier this year, Reeves and Bullock said they’re all set for a third installment – we’ll just have to wait and see how it progresses!
