Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves are revving up to star in a romantic thriller from Amazon MGM Studios.

It’s been 19 years since they filmed The Lake House and 31 years since the classic Speed hit theaters and the actors, both 60, are ready to give their onscreen chemistry another go.

The studio is keeping details of the plot to themselves for now. Noah Oppenheim, the writer behind Jackie and Zero Day will write the script and Speed producer Mark Gordon is also attached to the project. 

Sandra and Keanu celebrated 30 years of Speed last fall at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles.

‘We knew we were doing something wacky,’ Reeves said of Speed’s plot.

‘I was behind the wheel of a projectile, so I was just happy to be alive at the end of the day,’ Bullock joked.

At Beyond Fest they also discussed the possibility of a Speed 3.

Bullock said ‘Speed 3 would be the geriatric version. It won’t be fast.’

Fans were excited by the news of a Reeves and Bullock reunion and heralded it with compliments including, ‘perfect couple ever,’ ‘I’m so ready for this!!!,’ ‘This is too good’ and ‘Yesssss.’

Another fan commented on one of the duo’s past movies, writing, ‘I loved The Lake House. Great movie.’ 

And finally, someone else wrote, ‘The IMMEDIATE ʙuттerflies I got when I thought this what a Speed 3 announcement at first glance.’

Earlier this year, Sandra saw her 2000 film Miss Congeniality have a surge in popularity, 25 years after it was released.

At the time of its release, the actress and producer received less praise for starring as a smart but clumsy FBI agent, who happens to be a huge tomboy but ends up going undercover in a beauty pageant.

Ahead of the movie turning 25 in 2025, the movie is now climbing the charts on streaming service Netflix despite its low 41 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.

However, at the time of its release, Miss Congeniality grossed $212 million, a notable box office number against its budget of $45 million.

The underrated action rom-com also did well enough that Bullock ended up reprising the role for a 2005 sequel.

In the original flick, Bullock stars as Gracie Hart, a tomboyish FBI special agent who undergoes a major transformation when she chosen to go undercover at a Miss United States pageant after the agency learns of a bomb threat targeting the event.

She plays opposite a star-studded cast including Michael Caine, Candice Bergen, William Shatner, Ernie Hudson and Heather Burns.

Several years ago, Bullock was asked about a potential Miss Congeniality 3 and had a strong, adverse reaction.

‘God no! No, no,’ Bullock replied when probed about the possibility of her reprising her role.

She also shared her regrets about the sequel and said Miss Congeniality 2 ‘shouldn’t have been done’ in a April 2022 interview with Metro UK.

However, she said that she’s ‘glad’ the follow-up movie was filmed anyway ‘because of Regina [King], who I just freaking adore.’

‘I was behind the wheel of a projectile, so I was just happy to be alive at the end of the day,’ Bullock joked

King joined the sequel as Bullock’s character Gracie’s partner Sam Fuller.

About the original Miss Congeniality, Bullock added: ‘That one should have remained a one-off.’

In Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous, Bullock reprises her role as Gracie, who is now facing her newfound fame after going undercover and competing in a beauty pageant.

But her overnight celebrity status does not faze her new partner Sam Fuller, portrayed by Regina King.

The partners must put their differences aside, however, when one of Gracie’s former beauty queen pals Cheryl Frasier (Heather Burns) goes missing and the FBI is put on the case.
