We’ve got the need for speed — Speed 3 that is. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock made a joint appearance on the 50 MPH podcast to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Jan de Bont’s high octane thriller Speed and had some hopeful words for fans during their pitstop. While Reeves opted not to return for 1997’s Speed 2: Cruise Control, the John Wick actor made it clear that the two would “freakin’ knock it out of the park” if given the opportunity to reunite. There’s been chatter between Reeves and de Bont about a possible third installment, and the star's own words have added kindle to the flame. Bullock echoed Reeves’ acknowledgement of their chemistry saying, “There’s no formula. It just is.” The Oscar-winner followed up with the plea, “Before I die, before I leave this planet, I do think that Keanu and I need to do something in front of the camera.” If fans are lucky, that “something” will in fact be Speed 3. 

In other speed-related news, William Shatner revealed that he would consider initiating warp drive once more under the right conditions. The legendary actor told the Canadian Press that although “almost impossible” a return to the USS Enterprise is an “intriguing idea,” but signing on for a future film would be contingent on “a genuine reason for the character appearing” with a “well-written” role and not just a nostalgia-fueled cameo appearance for fan service.
