Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock’s iconic movie, Speed, changed the course of their entire career as well as the action genre. Widely hailed as one of the best action movies of all time, the Jan de Bont-directed film has since inspired several other movies, games, and projects. However, it was truly the chemistry and talent of Reeves and Bullock that helped make the movie as famous as it is today.

Reeves, in particular, received a hefty push in his career thanks to Speed and is now a solidified action star. But Reeves did not want his career-defining movie to define him and was hesitant to talk about it since he wanted to be known as a serious actor and not an action star.

As the high-energy roar of the iconic 90s thriller, Speed has geared up to celebrate its 30th anniversary (yesterday), we can’t help but reflect with a sense of awe on its legacy. Can it truly be that three decades have zipped by since Keanu Reeves & Sandra Bullock hooked us with their on-screen chemistry in this breathtaking chase that remains one of the most gripping tales of survival against the clock?
Speed (1994) | 20th Century Fox
Released on June 10, 1994, the film by 20th Century Fox not only soared to the pinnacle of cinematic mastery but also sparked a debate that continues to this day: did it outperform Bruce Willis’ Die Hard, despite their obvious similarities? With adroit direction by Jan de Bont (directorial debut) and riveting performances by Reeves as the earnest hero & Bullock as the plucky civilian thrust into danger, Speed did more than just entertain; it redefined the action genre for its time.

“Pop quiz, hotshot. There’s a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?” Released on June 10, 1994, it’s now been three decades since movie audiences were held in heart-pounding suspense as a young actor’s character aimed to answer this riddle. “Speed” is the best kind of summer blockbuster — a sleeper hit that takes critics and audiences by surprise. With a first-time director, a relatively unknown actress and an actor who was just establishing himself as a solid lead, “Speed” opened at number one, established Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock as two of the biggest stars of decade and caused many of us to rethink using mass transit.

Released in 1998, the first installment of Practical Magic centered on the bewitching Owens sisters who were cursed with falling in love with men that met untimely demises. The curse turns especially dark when they find themselves with a murder on their hands.

Nowadays, terms like "cult film" are arguably thrown around a bit too often.
But back in 1998, it wasn't uncommon for a quirky flick like Practical Magic to fend off mixed reviews and unimpressive box office and go on to become a beloved cultural touchstone for future generations.
So it should come as no surprise that in this age of nostalgia, reboots, and reimaginings, a sequel to the Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman occult rom-com is currently in the works!
News of the sequel was revealed this morning via Warner Bros.' official Instagram page.
"It's official," the studio announced. "Practical Magic 2 is in development and coming soon."

Bill Pullman is a liar.
The star of “Murdaugh Murders: The Movie” doesn’t mean to be, but confesses he is one during our interview.
The two-part Lifetime movie in which Pullman portrays convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh wasn’t, by any means, a light-hearted project. And while focusing on heavier topics, some actors turn to “comfort” TV or movies.
One of mine, I tell him, is “While You Were Sleeping,” his 1995 rom-com with Sandra Bullock. But he doesn’t have one. And that might come as a surprise if you’ve watched recent FYC press he’s done. In fact, he was asked about it on a panel three days before our conversation.
“They asked a similar question, and I lied,” he whispers. “I just told my publicist today, I feel so bad! Something about that question, I couldn’t think of anything that was accurate. The only thing I...

Practical Magic, the 1998 fantasy film starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as sisters (and witches), is getting a long-awaited sequel, and its two stars are in talks to return.
The sequel was teased by Warner Bros. on Sunday, who posted a clip on TikTok from the first film of Kidman and Bullock performing a “summoning” and Practical Magic 2 subsequently coming to life. Now, Variety confirms that production on the sequel is underway 26 years later, and Kidman and Bullock are eyeing a return.
The original Practical Magic was adapted from Alice Hoffman’s 1995 novel of the same name, and along with Kidman and Bullock, the film starred Stockard Channing, Dianne West, and Adrian Quinn. The story followed Kidman and Bullock as two sisters who descended from a long line of witches — they must use their abilities to destroy the evil spirit of an abusive ex-boyfriend, and throughout, there are hexes, curses,...

Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, the Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman classic Practical Magic is getting a number two! Warner Bros. casts a curious spell on the Monday news cycle and says it’s making a Practical Magic sequel with Bullock and Kidman in negotiations to return as the Owens sisters.

In addition to returning as the Owen sisters, Bullock and Kidman are expected to produce alongside Denise Di Novi. Details about the plot are still bubbling in a cauldron, with more information to follow as the project takes shape.

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock’s electrifying bus-set thriller acts as a reminder of just how good we used to have it
At a time of overwhelming entertainment bloat – budget, length, content, discussion – a ride back to the summer of 1994 and the brisk, brilliant economy of Speed feels like the satisfying small-screen vacation we all deserve right now.
Dutch cinematographer turned director Jan de Bont’s breath-stealing action movie hasn’t gained any extra depth or allegorical meaning when rewatched 30 years later (it’s mercifully thinkpiece-proof in its earnest straightforwardness) but it has benefited from a bleak comparison with where Hollywood is at this precarious moment. It’s been a mostly bummer summer at the box office with a panic over expensive big-bet films like The Fall Guy and Furiosa stumbling while the majority who choose streaming instead having to settle for murky, poorly made dreck like Atlas, a much-watched yet much-loathed Netflix night-ruiner.

Get the midnight margaritas ready.
Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are in talks to return for a sequel to the 1998 classic Practical Magic.
Akiva Goldsman, one of the writers behind the original, will pen the screenplay. Plot details are not yet known. Bullock and Kidman are expected to produce alongside Denise Di Novi, who produced the original.
Practical Magic starred Kidman and Bullock as two orphaned sisters who come from a long line of witches. Raised by their eccentric aunts in a prejudiced Massachusetts town, they had to contend with a curse that kept them from never finding love.
At the time of release, the movie received generally negative reviews and failed to make a mark at the box office, but it has achieved cult status among audiences. Since the film’s release, Kidman and Bullock have also become the two biggest stars in Hollywood with awards recognition and box office acclaim.

Sandra Bullock is one of the most praised and loved actresses of all time, especially due to her enthusiasm when it comes to portraying roles that help her reinforce her value and position in the film industry. This is one of the primary reasons that Practical Magic was made that had a female-dominated cast, and it centered around Sally Owens and Gillian Owens, two witch sisters overcoming narrow-minded prejudices and a centuries-old curse.

The team behind Apple TV+’s big-budget European drama Constellation took to the stage in Cologne this week to talk developing the psychological sci-fi drama, technical challenges of shooting zero gravity, almost casting Jeff Bridges and why they spent nearly $550,000 on space suits. You can watch a video of the session at the bottom.
During a production masterclass session at Seriencamp, series producer Daniel Hetzer and line producer Jakob Neuhausser from Constellation co-producer Turbine Studios revealed the budget for the series sat around €100M ($110M), with Apple providing around 70% and a €10M grant coming from the state-run German Motion Picture Fund.

Brad Pitt and George Clooney are back together on film — outside of the “Ocean’s” cinematic universe.
The duo co-star in action-comedy movie “Wolfs,” which is written and directed by Jon Watts. In “Wolfs,” Clooney plays a professional fixer hired to cover up a high-profile crime. But when a second fixer (Pitt) shows up and the two “lone wolves” are forced to work together, they find their night spiraling out of control in ways that neither one of them expected. Just another night in the fixer industry, we imagine.
Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, and Poorna Jagannathan co-star in “Wolfs.”
Both Clooney and Pitt produce the film, as do Watts, Grant Heslov, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Dianne McGunigle. Michael Beugg executive produces.
Watts is also making a Steven Spielberg-inspired “Star Wars” series for Disney+ that will star Jude Law. Watts was actually supposed to direct the “Fantastic Four” reboot,...

Keanu Reeves has always had a career worth the envy of his contemporaries. From his righteous indignance against violence in turning down Oliver Stoneʼs Platoon to becoming one of the most in-demand action movie stars, even in his late 50s, Reeves doesnʼt leave much to the imagination as far as his success is concerned. But even those set on the path of success can sometimes tread down the wrong path.

Despite the direction in which Reeves was later bound to go in his career, in hindsight, the actor got his start playing charming go-getters stuck in difficult predicaments.

Netflix has tied up a deal in the $34M range for the John Lee Hancock-directed package Monsanto, we can reveal. The pic will star Glen Powell, Anthony Mackie and Oscar winner Laura Dern.
CAA Media Finance cut the presale after launching with Rocket Science last week. Netflix has been quieter at recent markets but is back at the table with the splashy deal.
This and Apple’s WW deal for Everest sherpa pic Tenzing are the two biggest deals to emerge from the Cannes market so far. The latter is understood to be in the $40M range.
Monsanto tells the true story of young, untried attorney Brent Wisner (Powell), who takes on a seemingly insurmountable case against the giant U.S. chemical company Monsanto on behalf of Dewayne “Lee” Johnson (Mackie) who used Monsanto’s best-known product Roundup, a wildly financially successful weed and grass pesticide killer, as part...

What is it about Speed that always keeps people coming back for more? Now celebrating its third decade as one of the greatest action films ever made, Jan de Bont’s positively explosive bare bones rush hour movie is a rare case of an enduring Hollywood classic, with insanely bankable stars, that hasn’t been re-upped, remade or rebooted to death.
30 years on, it has spawned a wealth of imitators, a legion of die-hard fans (50Mph podcast we see you) and an entire legacy of super straightforward, super effective action cinema. But really only one legitimate sequel. So, what happened? How did such an influential movie falter? Why is an IP-hungry Hollywood, that’s somehow so starved it’s willing to bankroll a 9-figure stuntman movie based on an ancient and barely remembered ’80s TV show, so Speed-phobic? And most importantly of all, is the original still just as good as you remember it?...

Martin Scorsese has time and again proven why he ranks amongst the best filmmakers of today and his work will certainly be talked about for centuries to come. From Goodfellas (1990) to Shutter Island (2010), Martin Scorsese has a ton of gems in his portfolio but a sixteen-minute-long short film will remain to be the most unique work of his career.

Back in 2015, Martin Scorsese brought together a star-studded ensemble both in front of and behind the camera to create The Audition. The project is unlike any other short film the world has seen and was actually created as a clever way of advertising a casino when mainland China banned any and all advertising of casinos.

The mysterious and unnamed relationship between Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock is a gift that keeps on giving. Despite the two stars parting ways after Speed (1994) and reuniting 12 years later for The Lake House (2006) before leaving again, they have remained a constant fascination for fans who have watched the love and fondness grow between the pair and never fade from Day One.

Fans have since then waited long and held true to their loyalty toward the actors. As such, the need and demand for a romantic movie starring the Speed actors in the lead is a wish that remains undeniable.

Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves are among the most iconic pairings of all time. Having starred together in 1994’s Speed, the two have been a fan favorite casting, with many wanting to see more of them on-screen. Unfortunately, such a miracle is yet to happen, for after starring in The Lake House (which hardly featured them together), they have never managed to work together.

Despite stating countless times that they would love to reunite on-screen, a potential Speed 3 has never happened. And if it were to ever take place, it would be even more iconic since Bullock wasn’t even the first or second choice for the role of Annie.

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock have one of the most electric on-screen chemistry, not only because they are wonderful actors but also because they are good friends in real life. While the calls for them to share screen have been going on for a while, they were further amplified when both actors publicly acknowledged that they had a crush on each other while filming Speed.

While they since went on to star in the romantic The Lake House, it has been decades since the duo were seen together despite both stating multiple times that they are open to working with each other. And in a latest interview, the two again made similar claims.
