"It wasn't right": Keanu Reeves decided not to return to Speed 2 despite his connection to Sandra Bullock
While the sequel to Speed was a fact, it is considered inferior because Reeves did not reprise the role of him. Now, the beloved actor revealed that he had problems with the second part: “On a cruise? It didn't seem like it to me ”.
Keanu Reeves is the celebrity of the moment, and although we are waiting for one of his most successful sequels, "The Matrix", the truth is that the actor has a string of films that are remembered by all. Speed, along with Sandra Bullock, is one of the most talked about and also the one that generated the most questions when the protagonist did not decide to join a second part.
Despite being considered one of the best action films of the 90s, Reeves did not feel the need to continue with a sequel despite his excellent relationship with his castmates and with the direct ones. His reasons were based clearly on the argument that the tape would have.
If you saw “Speed 2”, you will have realized that the situation was quite different than in the first film, and not only because Reeves was not present, but because it led us to a story somewhat different from the first one and that was precisely which upset the actor.
"At the time I didn't respond to the script," Keanu Reeves said in a recent appearance on Graham Norton, where he admitted that it was never a problem with the cast and that he would love to work with Sandra Bullock again, if not for the concept.
"I loved to play Jack Tavern and I loved Speed, but a liner?", Alleged the actor on the proposal to take the story on a cruise. He just didn't find her attractive and he decided to skip the project.
"I had nothing against the artists involved, but at the time I had the feeling that it was not right," Reeves added about the decision and quelled rumors that perhaps the actor was no longer comfortable with the cast that he played. .
In fact, Sandra Bullock recently revealed that it was on Speed that the actors' relationship was forever affirmed. Although at some point they had a love interest in each other, neither of them took action on the matter and they ended up being great friends.
Keanu Reeves' sincerity is what makes him one of Hollywood's most beloved stars.
