Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock Reflect onSpeed
ForKeanu ReevesandSandra Bullock, the surrounding elements inSpeed(1994) played more of a central role than the story of the leading stars themselves. It was a film that ran on fuel and adrenaline, never stopping for a moment to build on the romance or the longing.
Despite such a barrier of emotional separation, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock brought something electric to the screen that not only survives but keeps growing to this day.
Reminiscing about their time on set, Keanu Reeves reveals in an interview with the50 MPHpodcast:
“I think we had an affection. And the characters themselves have an affection. I think Jack and Annie’s is different than Sandra’s and Keanu’s, but I think we played off each other and I think it was just fun. I think, also, we kind of trusted each other, right?”
Moreover, Sandra Bullock too recalled her audition with Keanu Reeves with fondness, saying:
“I was looking for nothing. I was just grateful and excited to be with who I was with, and I just adored, and still adore, Keanu. We didn’t think it would do what it did, but I didn’t know any better at that time, either.”

But despite being a romance, the length of the whole film moved in a non-linear narrative with Keanu Reeves’ arc taking place in the past and Bullock’s in the future. Even then, the palpable chemistry between them could be felt emanating strongly from the screen.
