According to Yahoo!, Bullock joked about a potential Speed reunion.
“Maybe [when we’re] 67, 69 years old,” she joked. “We’ll be old and in the bus where they have that lift for the older people,” laughs Bullock. “We will be be an old married couple. We’ll have the walker, and it will be about how we can get to the old people’s homes before curfew. So, that will be the [new] Speed. It will be a slow film, but a play on the word ‘speed.'”
