20th Century Studios President Steve Asbell addresses the status of Speed 3. Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves starred in the original Speed released in 1994, with the story revolving around a bus that would explode if it went below 50 miles per hour. The movie’s popularity led to the 1997 sequel, Speed 2: Cruise Control, which was panned, and holds a dismal 4% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes. In the years since, there has been speculation about whether Speed 3 could happen with both Bullock and Reeves playing their original characters.
