It’s weird to think there is an entire generation of movie watchers who don’t know the sheer ADRENALIN of Jan de Bont‘s classic 1994 film, “Speed.” The film, which starred Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, is eyeing the big 3-0 this year. Aside from that number being absolutely horrifying, it’s also a time for celebration!
Namely, the American Cinematheque will be hosting a special anniversary screening of “Speed” at the historic Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, CA as part of Beyond Fest 2024. As part of this screening, there will be a Q & A with de Bont (“Twister,” “Tomb Raider: Lara Croft- The Cradle of Life“), Reeves, and Bullock!
It’s set to take place October 8th, 2024. Tickets will go on sale soon.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
