Speed 3

/Film Reader William W sent us a tip that speed3themovie.com, speed3ignition.com, speedthreemovie.com point to a website which claims to be the official website for a third film in a Speed franchise. The site features a hilarious image of Sandra Bullock stuck in a Virgin Galactic consumer space-travel spacecraft with the film’s supposed title: Speed 3 Ignition.

I just got a response from 20th Century Fox, who confirmed our suspicions that they have no involvement what-so-ever in the site. To be fair, I’m not 100% sure that a Speed sequel couldn’t be made without Fox involved. But I’m 99% certain that this is just a fan created fake. I just thought we should send out a warning before rumors got out of control. Plus we thought it was funny enough to share. C’mon, there’s a bomb on a consumer space-craft and if it drops below a certain speed it will blow up?! Sounds like almost like a Wayans Brothers parody gone wrong.

A third Speed film isn’t out of the realm of possibility. In July 2007, Dennis Hopper told The Guardian that he was set to return for Speed 3. We’ve heard nothing about the potential project since.

    With the way Bullocks career is headed, don’t be suprised.

    Her hand looks like it belongs to a muppet.

    That picture is horrible, lol

    gah. Bullock has had great longetivity in Hollywood, there is no doubt that she still pulls in the box office for her movies, something very few 44-year old actresses can do these days.

    If Keanu’s Jack Traven isn’t back, then this movie is dead to me!

    @ Luke
    Longevity doesn’t mean jack if you’re making crappy movies. She has a 24% career average on Rotten Tomatoes. Nuff said.

    I know several who will be working on the set for this film. It is not fake unfortunately.

    Is this really going ahead?

    Filming date, release date, cast, director, plot?

    Yes, here is this the scoop:

    In this rather meta follow-up to Speed and Speed 2: Cruise Control, Sandra Bullock plays… Sandra Bullock, a former A-list actress who is struggling for a box office hit. Invited to the launch of Richard Branson’s first Virgin Galactic outing, Bullock seizes control of the ship and threatens to send its crew of luminaries into deep space unless she is guaranteed a top part, with gross points attached. Caught in the middle are famous guests such as Stephen Hawking, Bill Shatner and Carrie Fisher. Brent Spiner reportedly has a very funny role playing himself as an honored guest whom no one recognizes or recalls. Guests and crew eventually find themselves in support of Bullock and act accordingly.

    What in the name of God are they thinkin’?

    Who Is reveals it was registered through go-daddy and was registered with an IP address from St. Louis, I think its just a fan or a joke.

    That music in the website sounds awfully familiar.

    gah

    Money runs Hollywood, not Rotten Tomatoes, or critics.

    Movies are business.

    To date, Bullock has generated $1,200,204,785 in revenue.

    Nuff said.

    Is it just me or does the 3rd pick from the top look funny? Looks like the sun is setting in the background but the lighting suggests that it is coming from off screen at Fords back..??

    In the META keywords, theres something about Branson and Virgin Atlantic. Weird!

    Had a crush on her when i was younger!

    Google Analytics, GoDaddy URL registered via proxy and finally a typo in “filmrattings.com”. Furthermore a meta tag: “Decription goes here”.

    Come on…
