Keanu Reeves is not doing any more “Speed.” The actor has denied online rumors that he will be reprising his role as Jack Traven in a possible 3rd installment of the film.
Ongoing rumors say that the 44-year-old actor, who passed up the opportunity to reprise his role on “Speed 2,” will be on board on the 3rd film. According to AintItCool.com, a new “Speed” project is on its way, and the studios are hoping to get him back.
However, IGN.com asked Reeves about his reported involvement, and here’s what he had to say:
“I honestly don’t know anything about it. I don’t know if they are going to make another one, and if they are it won’t be with me… honestly!”
Suffice it to say that the actor – who will next be seen in sci-fi thriller “The Day The Earth Stood Still” – will not be in any “Speed” movie in the near future.
While, Reeves looks set on saying no to the rumored project, he is open to the idea of another “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.”
He said, “Well, you know, never say never…”
He even has an idea of a possible storyline for the comedy, saying, “Maybe we could do it with them both grown up – they haven’t saved the world and they’re just living their lives as middle-aged men. That sounds quite funny.”
