Hatched from an early screenplay called Minimum Speed, the Keanu Reeves classic Speed would go on to be anything but "minimum." We look back on the film as it turns 30.

    I’m pretty sure it was called: “The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down”

    If you want an in depth oral history about this film, I highly recommend the 50mph podcast. It just finished this week after fifty episodes. The host Kris has interviewed almost everyone who worked on this film and I found it fascinating, it’s right up my street.

    For example, it was once pitched as a Beverly Hills Cop sequel. Also, director Jan de Bont is adamant that they filmed the infamous bus jump stunt twice. Problem is, he’s the only one who thinks this, everyone else disagrees.
