Nearly three decades after Speed raced into cinemas and cemented their on-screen chemistry, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are back in action — though this time, the thrills come wrapped in romance.
The pair are set to headline an untitled romantic thriller currently in the works at Amazon MGM Studios, a project that promises to blend emotional depth with narrative momentum. While plot details remain locked tighter than a runaway bus, insiders have described the film as "propulsive" — suggesting it won’t just coast on the charm of its leading duo.
Adding fuel to the excitement, producer Mark Gordon — who helped steer Speed to box office glory in 1994 — is back on board, reuniting with Reeves and Bullock for the first time in years. The project was brought to life by Gordon and screenwriter Noah Oppenheim, best known for the acclaimed biopic Jackie and Netflix’s political thriller Zero Day. Reeves and Bullock reportedly joined early in development and are also producing, along with Gordon, Oppenheim, and Sarah Bremner under their respective banners.
If Speed was 'Die Hard on a bus', this new project hints at something quieter — but no less compelling — with room for both tension and emotional depth. What’s certain is that both stars bring more than just star power to the table. Reeves was last seen leading John Wick: Chapter 4 and lending his voice to Sonic the Hedgehog 3, while Bullock’s The Lost City was one of the rare pandemic-era romantic adventures to break the $190 million mark worldwide.
It’s no small feat to build anticipation with no title, no trailer, and no plot synopsis, yet here we are. The combination of nostalgic chemistry, seasoned talent, and an air of mystery seems to be doing the trick. For fans of cinematic reunions done right, this one’s already worth watching — long before it hits the screen.
