Seems There's A New SPEED Project Zooming Around Out There...And It May Not Be A Remake!?!?

They should do it on a plane by blindambition238	Dec 1st, 2008 09:21:06 PM
Cause that would be the only way this could be more novel and brilliant.
Speed 3: Monorail Of Doom by Alkohal	Dec 1st, 2008 09:26:26 PM
A monorail in disney is rigged to explode killing hundreds of tourist, its up to Keanu and Sandra Bullock to stop it. Special appearance by Dennis Hoppers head and Jeff Daniels arm.
20th Century Fox: If It Ain't Broke, We'll Break It, Then Scotch by FilmCritic3000	Dec 1st, 2008 09:27:54 PM
Can we get someone...ANYONE...to replace Rothman? Failing that, what about objects? A coffee table? A ficus plant?
Scotch Tape The Hell Out Of It... by FilmCritic3000	Dec 1st, 2008 09:28:23 PM

Will they bring back Glenn Plummer? by FilmCritic3000	Dec 1st, 2008 09:29:24 PM
Maybe now Tuneman has his pilot's license.
What about TRUE LIES 2 from Fox? by ABking	Dec 1st, 2008 09:30:13 PM
Fox has had so many flops recently that it would also be smart to look into TRUE LIES 2 with Cameron producing (possibly directing) and Schwarzenegger returning to Harry Tasker for Fox...right after he does PREDATOR 3 for Fox. Hell, TRUE LIES never got the SPECIAL EDITION treatment...so when Cameron and Fox and Arnold finally does a bad ass SE version with behind-the-scenes, deleated scenes etc...and the SE sells huge on BLU-RAY like the recent PLANET OF THE APES, Fox should wisen up and greenlight a BOND like sequel to TRUE LIES. Make it more CASINO ROYAL...Jamie Lee Curtis still look good in BEVERLY HILL CHUAWWA so she can return. Hell, James Cameron was gonna produce APES with Arnie in 1998...why not get Jim back on board. I still say ARNOLD and CAMERON for Fox's THE A-TEAM remake!
right, 'cos that's what we need by ByTor	Dec 1st, 2008 09:31:57 PM
More Keanu movies. Talentless hack.
Speed 3, Moviegoers 0 by kgreene	Dec 1st, 2008 09:36:36 PM
Always thought the first one was very over-rated. And the second, as we all know, blows. So why are we going back there again?
Speed 3: Air Conditioning by Kamaji	Dec 1st, 2008 09:40:04 PM
Think about it. There was Speed 2: Cruise Control, which took place on a ship. So, the next thing (10 years later I still believe this) that the third movie should be 'Speed 3: Air Conditioning,' where the action takes place on an airplane. Maybe have Jack tackle a plane of terrorists taking off from Los Angeles. Btw, I in no way endorse another Speed film. They got my money back in 1997 for Cruise Control. But I blame that on my teenage naivete (it could have been worse- I could have paid to see 'Batman and Robin').
SPE3D! by GeorgieBoy	Dec 1st, 2008 09:41:24 PM
Bring back Neo!!!
Speed 2 is one of the worst movies EVER. by MisterE	Dec 1st, 2008 09:42:13 PM
EVER, I say. It's not even bad in a way that you can watch it for its awfulness.
Sure, and why not a Chain Reaction 2 also? by kafka07	Dec 1st, 2008 09:43:06 PM
bring Keanu and Rachel Weisz back for their roles.
GeorgieBoy... by MisterE	Dec 1st, 2008 09:43:41 PM

The Edge 2: Bart The Bear's Revenge by FilmCritic3000	Dec 1st, 2008 09:48:24 PM
"It'll take more than tree limbs to take him down." There, now I have the mental acumen of a Fox exec. Where's my six-figure check?
The best summation of Speed 2... by blackmantis	Dec 1st, 2008 09:49:25 PM
...was from Keanu Reeves, who when told about the plot quizically asked "Are boats speedy?" Speed was a one off if there ever was one.
Poor Jan de Bont by Bass Ackwards	Dec 1st, 2008 09:50:14 PM
Neither Speeed nor Twister were masterpieces, but at the least they were pretty streamlined actioners with some good set pieces, and they were both pretty big hits, the guy probably had a good pick of projects after that. But its just like he gave up instead, was he under some kind of contract? I don't see how Speed 2 or Lara Croft 3 could have ever seemed like a good idea at any point in production. Ah well.
Speed 3: Day of the Rascal by Domi'sInnerChild	Dec 1st, 2008 09:51:58 PM
The cast is aging, but them Keanu, Bullock, and Chris Tucker in one of those powered wheelchairs that can't go below 9 mphs.

Dear God. No more, Hollywood! by Ribbons	Dec 1st, 2008 09:55:30 PM
It seems like more than half of the movies coming out these days are sequels or remakes.
Hell frickin yeah!!!!!!!!! by jojo-pimp	Dec 1st, 2008 09:56:30 PM
this is one movie that always needed a proper sequel with the original cast!! they do need Sandra Bullock back though! i would be first in line to see that one!
Good Job All by toxicbuddha	Dec 1st, 2008 09:58:12 PM
Some nice zingers here with kgreene taking home the trophy.As for the flaming turdball of a script treatment, I am hoping someone fot the an advance screening of next week's MADTV and confused it for actual news....

Speed 3: Speeding Ticket by palooka_boy	Dec 1st, 2008 10:07:10 PM
Now he's a traffic cop!
They should do it on a speedier bus by Leafy McPlantsalot	Dec 1st, 2008 10:07:54 PM
think about, a copycat bomber... played by Peter Fonda, targets Keanu when he only two days till retirement. Puts a bomb on a bus that has to do 65, not 50, 65! or it will explode. You get old fans with the nostalgia and new fans with the faster bus. It could be called, Speed 3: ZOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!
"I don't care about your crimes..." by Doc_Martigan	Dec 1st, 2008 10:09:51 PM
Speed 3: Safe Driver Discount (brought to you by Allstate).
Wait, no, I've got it! by Leafy McPlantsalot	Dec 1st, 2008 10:11:20 PM
get this. Speed was always just a die hard rip with an actual inventive gimmick thrown in. So go back to your roots. Die hard and the original Speed. One of the giant oversized "house movers" you see on the highway sometimes. That can't go under 50. So Keanu has to deal with that and with terrorists in the house the house mover is trying to move.
I thought Keanu doesn't do sequels.... by FilmCritic3000	Dec 1st, 2008 10:12:06 PM
I believe he said something to that effect after he turned down the "Constantine" sequel.
Rothman ensures it'll be PG-13... by FilmCritic3000	Dec 1st, 2008 10:14:22 PM
Remember his motto - if it has any signs of creativity, bleed them out until the final product resembles congealed oatmeal.
Maybe Joss Whedon can write it...and get credit... by FilmCritic3000	Dec 1st, 2008 10:15:02 PM
Even Graham Yost (credited writer of "Speed") says Joss pretty much rewrote his script.
Keanu doesn't do sequels? by MisterE	Dec 1st, 2008 10:15:04 PM
That's bogus!
FilmCritic3000 ....sequals by BYOBkenobi	Dec 1st, 2008 10:15:26 PM
Matrix and Excellent Adventures.... unless he is retconning those, or is now disgusted with reprising roles as of late. News to me..... I just wanna see someone interview the guy and ask him how his sister is doing.
Speed 3: Lightspeed by blackmantis	Dec 1st, 2008 10:19:20 PM
Jack is cryogenically frozen, then awakened when interstellar space travel has been conquered. But then, a madman, the distant relative of Dennis Hopper, puts a bomb on a lightspeed space-cruiser. If the spaceship goes under lightspeed, the bomb goes off. And not just any bomb, but a black hole creator that will rip the very fabric of space and time.
Ok Hotshot by TVguy4566	Dec 1st, 2008 10:21:11 PM
there's a bus of senior citizens heading in a bus from Los Angeles to Palm Springs, if the bus goes over 50 MPH Morty Feldman will give you an earful about how people don't respect the traffic rules anymore, but there is only an hour left until all the Early Bird special ends. What do you do? What do you do?
It's already been done in Father Ted! by JackBauer24	Dec 1st, 2008 10:21:29 PM
Seriously, you can't top Speed on a Milk Float.
Same here, BYOB...hope his sister... by FilmCritic3000	Dec 1st, 2008 10:22:13 PM
is doing okay. I lost my mother (who was my best friend) to lung cancer (small cell carcinoma) that had spread, went away, then came back. Fuck cancer.
I agree, they'll use SPE3D as the title... by FilmCritic3000	Dec 1st, 2008 10:23:48 PM
and add Chad Michael Murray as the young punk cop who Traven has to show the ropes.
Speed 3: Tram Slam! by Paul T. Ryan	Dec 1st, 2008 10:25:25 PM
If the Tram drops below 5 miles per hour.... It stops.
Keanu Reeves was smart enough to know by TVguy4566	Dec 1st, 2008 10:26:17 PM
that Speed was really a one shot deal. No way you can recreate what they did in the first and Speed 2 was proof of that. Unfortunately, Keanu may be looking to resurrect his career if "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is as DOA as I expect. That movie has bomb written all over it. When the trailer is boring, you know they are in trouble.

The trailers barely elicit a yawn from me. This holiday season is the worst in recent movies for theatrical films.

prunkhaft, there was a Timecop 2...yuck... by FilmCritic3000	Dec 1st, 2008 10:38:30 PM
They strapped themselves into what looked like a gynecological chair and thrashed about to travel through time. It was direct-to-DVD in 2003 and it sucked. The short-lived (one season) "Timecop" series that aired on ABC back in 1997 was more enjoyable than that dreck.
"METAL GEAR!!!!!" by UMAGA	Dec 1st, 2008 10:50:23 PM

I remember Mickey Rooney saying he'd seen Speed by Amy Chasing	Dec 1st, 2008 11:10:13 PM
and it was the best action film he'd ever seen. Or seen in a long time - which for him could be a _really_ long time. Wouldn't it be cool if he's still around to see Speed 3. Or at least Demolition Man 2.
Speed 3: Over the Limit by BatPsycho	Dec 1st, 2008 11:13:53 PM

Keanu's got ungodly amounts of money from his cut of the Matrix trilogy. I don't think a few more bombs will affect him either way.

... I think in the case of Speed 2, Keanu couldn't really see how it was going to work with a boat in conveying the same sense as a runaway bus.

Keanu was smart about Speed 2 by destruit	Dec 2nd, 2008 12:09:43 AM
Funny thing was, before it came out all the press was saying, "crazy hippie Keanu Reeves would rather play with his rock band than make a 'Speed' sequel."
"...the relentlessly bland Jason Patrick"??? by LoneGun	Dec 2nd, 2008 12:16:38 AM
Are you kidding me, Merrick? That's a pretty dismissive way to describe an actor who can act laps around Keanu Reeves. Have you even seen AFTER DARK MY SWEET, GERONIMO or THE JOURNEY OF AUGUST KING? For a while, Jason Patrick was one of the most charismatic leading men Hollywood had. I'll take any film he's in over another Keanu SPEED.
Ah, I mean "Patric" by LoneGun	Dec 2nd, 2008 12:24:01 AM
Jason Patric.
Hey Prunkhaft, there already was a Timecop 2 by Paul T. Ryan	Dec 2nd, 2008 12:40:07 AM
With Jason Scott Lee and Thomas Ian Griffith. It sucked. Even worse was the short-lived tv series with that guy from Charmed. Yuccch.
LoneGun... by MisterE	Dec 2nd, 2008 12:44:33 AM
I'm not a big Keanu Reeves fan, but Jason Patric's "charisma" meant precisely jack shit in "Speed 2".
Speed 3: School Zone, co-starring Miley Cyrus! by Flim Springfield	Dec 2nd, 2008 01:01:21 AM

Reeves is now a teacher ("Pop quiz, hotshots!") by Flim Springfield	Dec 2nd, 2008 01:01:49 AM

Agreed, MisterE. by LoneGun	Dec 2nd, 2008 01:01:51 AM
Patric's talents weren't really put to use in the "bland" SPEED 2. But I don't think he was the real problem with that film, either. Also, just for the record, I don't dislike Keanu Reeves. I just find Patric the more consistently interesting actor to watch.
poor taste by invictus005	Dec 2nd, 2008 01:04:34 AM
merrick has a fairly poor taste when it comes to movies... i feel sorry for the guy. speed is one of the greatest action movies ever, a well made prequel/sequel with keanu would be awesome!
The Speedier and the Furious by Johnno	Dec 2nd, 2008 01:07:36 AM
Maybe it'll be about drugs... and if you don't stop taking the drug your system will slow down and you'll die. But he can't die until he defeats the terrorists... on a bullet train in Japan that also must keep going fast or else something something...
SPEED: 3rd Gear by Johnno	Dec 2nd, 2008 01:10:07 AM
Then after that they'll make SPEED: Reverse Gear which will be the same plot as the first film only the bus will have to drive backwards to keep the mileage from reaching all the way up or else BOOOOOM!!!!
Dunston Checks Out by gmanca	Dec 2nd, 2008 02:02:08 AM
The sad sequel to what we all knew would eventually happen: five-star hotel-domesticated orangutans and Jason Alexander's career have short shelf lives.
Jack Traven owns your asses! by thebearovingian	Dec 2nd, 2008 02:22:09 AM
Yes, he does. Speed is one of my ATF and I ain't ashamed to admit it. Still remember riding my bike to the theaters to watch it. Poor people are crazy, Jack. I'm eccentric.
C'MON DOIT KEANU!!! by ThaJackaL	Dec 2nd, 2008 02:27:35 AM
Seriously this would kick ass if they could get both him, and Sandra Bullock back together, and make it a sequel worth watching.

Shia comes back as Keanu's son! by V'Shael	Dec 2nd, 2008 03:08:51 AM
It'll be just like Indiana Jones, except nobody cares if they rape the Speed franchise. Wait a minute... can we get Sandra Bullock for the rape scene? We can? NOW WE GOT A MOVIE!
Why bother? by kwisatzhaderach	Dec 2nd, 2008 03:35:46 AM

Whatever happened to Point Break 2: Indo? by parallax_r	Dec 2nd, 2008 03:39:25 AM
HAHAHA I dunno, SPeed 3 could be cool if done correctly, but no Sandra Bullock - gotta be it's own story, something new, something old, but ROTHMAN will probably fuck it up like everything else... Remember the Galactus "cloud" from F4:2?
Isn't De Bont directing Point Break 2? by I_am_not_the_droid_you_are_looki ng_for	Dec 2nd, 2008 03:47:57 AM
For Speed 3 bring back Keanu, Patric and introduce Paul Walker and Freddie Prinze Jr as the SWAT team and have them battling master criminals Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Think about it. The four most uncharismatic, wooden actors in Hollywood up against the two of the biggest overactors in recent history! It'd be worth a rental at the very least. HOOHAA!

this is typical hollywood protocal by geraldbeans	Dec 2nd, 2008 05:05:22 AM
you throw a finished script and 20 million at your franchise star and hope that they like it enough to jump on. since keanu doesn't do sequels (besides matrix - and we all know how that turned out) and the guy doesn't need money because he was literally giving it away on reloaded and revolutions - the chances of him coming back for this are about as good as The Lake House becoming a cult classic

That's so batshit it's actually genius. Fox - get this man a contract, a fuck-off massive paycheck, some hookers, blow and a greenlight for SPEED 3: LIGHTSPEED! Best space franchise movie since JASON X - which all you bitches enjoyed, whether you admit it or not ;P
geraldbeans by spud mcspud	Dec 2nd, 2008 06:03:29 AM
Keanu did BILL & TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY - and has always said he had such a great time doing the other two that he'd definitely consider a third movie, when Bill & Ted are old. Do keep up, old chap :D
I hope 20th Century Fox continues to have a shitty year in 09 by Gungan Slayer	Dec 2nd, 2008 06:04:22 AM

DEMOLITION MAN 2 = Greatest B-movie sequel idea EVER. If EVhere was a great but highly overlooked early 90s fun-but-nonsense action flick that deserves - nay, DEMANDS! - a kick-ass sequel, it's DEMOLITION MAN. Now I'd like to see that followed up by TANGO & CASH 2. No, I'm completely serious. No, I am!
Gungan Slayer by spud mcspud	Dec 2nd, 2008 06:09:29 AM
As part of his scorched earth policy, the day before he jumps / is pushed (whichever, who cares>), Rothman will create a cast-iron contract stipulating that whoever his predecessor is, they HAVE to use any and all finances at Fox's disposal - including the studio itself - to finance Rothman and George Lucas' dream: the big-budget Fox-Dosney joint remake... STAR WARS: A NEW STAR! Zac Efron as Luke. Vanessa Hudgens as Leia. Robert fucking Pattinson as Han Solo. Justin Lee Collins (non-UK readers, google him) as Chewbacca. Anthony "No other roles for me" Daniels back as 3PO. Sorry, gotta stop there. I'm making myself sick here...

Laziest rewrite in movie history by BitterMan23	Dec 2nd, 2008 06:19:00 AM
Jack's gone, but Annie has a new boyfriend who just happens to be in the same precinct (same SWAT team too, if i recall). And their relationship, which would logically be in its infancy, is strained to boot. Typical FOX "who gives a rat's ass about the audience's intelligence" behavior.

I don't count Bill and Ted by geraldbeans	Dec 2nd, 2008 06:20:30 AM
That was back when he actually needed money and before he could do literally any movie he wanted. But I probably should've known that someone on AICN would bring it up.

God what a horrible idea by The Amazing G	Dec 2nd, 2008 06:43:09 AM
the original Speed is a cheesy and fun early 90's action movie, however the sequel is so Goddamned awful that the idea of making another sequel (over ten years later too mind you) is such a bad idea that whoever thinks it's a good idea should be fired....seriously just say no Keanu
Keanu doesn't do sequels??? by Johnno	Dec 2nd, 2008 06:51:04 AM
Damnit, this will not do. I want a Constantine 2! And the Matrix Trilogy OWNS YOUR ASSES!!!
Also, Bill and Ted 2 is at LEAST as good as part 1 by s0nicdeathmonkey	Dec 2nd, 2008 06:52:17 AM
seriously great filmmaking, then scotch.
Johnno by spud mcspud	Dec 2nd, 2008 07:23:44 AM
Yes! The love that dare not speak its name! I too LOVE the Matrix sequels! I'll concede that the third act of REVOLUTIONS is badly edited to the point of incoherence though - three stories simultaneously unfolding, (1) the Sentinels vs Gunbots on Zion, (2) Neo and Trinity heading for the Machine City, and (3) Niobe, Morpheus et al heading back to Zion. It could have been awesome - had it been edited! Following one story for half an hour, then the next, then the next - this created no tension whatsoever and didn't give us the impression that the stories were happening simultaneously, or that they were inter-related in anyway... A very slapdash way to edit the last act of an AWESOME threequel. They should have followed the way the third act of RETURN OF THE JEDI was edited. Cutting between scenes in the space battle above Death Star II, the Reb3el team trying to destroy the shield generator on Endor, and the last battle between Luke and Vader, under the Emperor's gaze... And they cut at EXACTLY the right point in every scene too - that ending to JEDI was relentless, and was exhilirating to sit through. By the time Trinity breathed her last in REVOLUTIONS, I was GLAD she was out of it! But you got to give them props for the battle for Zion... REVOLUTIONS kicked ass. All of it...
BILL & TED GO TO HELL! by spud mcspud	Dec 2nd, 2008 07:27:25 AM
I LOVED the second BILL & TED. I wouldn't rate it up there with EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, but you can't accuse it of not trying. There was everything but the kitchen sink in that movie. STA-TIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!! And William Sadler as Death. That was REALLY weird seeing as I saw B&T2 a year after DIE HARD 2, with a very different Bill Sadler role in it... Come on Keanu - BILL & TED SAVE THE WORLD! Make it NOW!

Keanu would never do latex makeup -- too vain and lazy by Lenny8	Dec 2nd, 2008 07:49:00 AM
He barely has the enthusiasm to remember his lines, do you think he'd sit for 8 hours of makeup each morning? And one thing is for sure, Keanu ain't hiding his face under any makeup. I be he wouldn't ever even have taken that Mel Gibson role where he had the burned face.

Stupid fucking cheap ass talk back.... by Holeman	Dec 2nd, 2008 08:33:03 AM
Anyway, "Wheelie" opens on Traven who has been crippled by a mad bomber, who is now looking to finish the job and breaks into his home and straps a bomb to the bottom of his wheelchair. If he doesn't keep wheeling around his (outrageously huge for cop's salary) apartment the bomb will go off! And no having someone push you! He's got a camera in the colostomy bag!

Does FOX even have any CLUE? by Darth_Kaos	Dec 2nd, 2008 11:20:47 AM
What happened to these guys. They use to release cool movies (at least till the mid 90's). Now, all they're doing is taking properties they own and running them into the ground or taking properties they lost (Watchmen) and try to extort money from the people you did something with them. If only they could figure out a way to get back Star Wars. Rothman is a douche.

Speed Kills: Death to Shitty Franchises by thedarklinglord	Dec 2nd, 2008 01:30:15 PM
Here's a movie I would actually pay to see: a massive collosion of gasoline and gore, fast moving vehicles and flaming bodies flying through the air as Speed, The Transporter, The Fast and the Furious, The Transformers, and Speed Racer (you just know another neon turd is working its way through the bowels of Hollywood) all meet in a massive collision at the intersection of Death and Oblivion. So let it be written, so let it be motherfuckin' done!

"If this tour bus full of mongoloids goes under 75 mphs, we're toast!" The movie ends when Jack manages to coax the amazing power of retard strength out of the special athletes so that they can rip open the floorboards and neutralize the explosive power of the bomb with their retard slobber.

is if the plot involved Sandra Bullock's character becoming air tight by way of a group of house dwelling, English speaking, damned dirty apes and a robot named Gort.

Speed 1 was on tv this weekend. by Novaman5000	Dec 2nd, 2008 07:52:58 PM
And I watched it for old time's sake. It was alright, though the finale is a bit more ludicrous than I remember. Still when it was over I thought to myself: "I'd watch a 3rd film if they brought Keanu (and maybe even Sandra) back for it." And I would, too.
Speed 3? Really???? (Rolls eyes) by Orbots Commander	Dec 2nd, 2008 08:21:24 PM
The first Speed was a fun little action picture that worked well for the most part. There was fantastic chemistry between Keanu and the then adorable Sandra Bullock on the cusp of stardom (if they were re-making it today, Amy Adams would play the Bullock part). Jan De Bont was smart enough to keep the film fast paced enough where we didn't notice the implausibility and lack of logic of its premise. Speed 2 of course has to be one of the stupidest and unfortunate movies I have likely ever seen. Jason Patric and Bullock did not have the same on-screen chemistry in their scenes as the first film did, it featured a very lame villain and the movie doesn't even have the good sense to know how ridiculous its premise was and not take itself too seriously. Unless Reeves wants a box office dud in his resume, I'd advise he pass on this. Let Paul Walker do it; I'm sure he's not doing too much these days.

'Point Break' OWNED 'Speed!' by Nick Michalak	Dec 3rd, 2008 10:54:37 PM
Had to be said, but no, neither should be victimized with sequels. Both films stood strongly enough on their own, and would be better off without sequels.
