A poster shared in late 2023 authentically depicted an upcoming “Speed 3” film starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.
On Dec. 21, 2023, a Facebook post claimed that a third installment of the “Speed” franchise starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock (the original stars of the first “Speed” movie), called “Speed Unstoppable,” was in production. The post received more than 20,000 reactions and 5,000 shares, as of this writing. The caption read:
Although Reeves starred alongside Bullock in the first of the two “Speed” movies, he declined the role in the second. Commenters expressed excitement over the prospect of a third film, with one user writing “Yes, Finally!!!!”
But the claim wasn’t true. If there was another sequel to the “Speed” movies, 20th Century Fox and other reputable news outlets would have made an official announcement. This has not happened.
The Facebook account that shared the fake poster, @YODA BBY ABY, has made similarly fake posters, including for a fifth “The Matrix” installment and “The Blade Runner” starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The page’s bio has a disclaimer as follows:
The account appears to be connected with another site called screenslant.com.
We’ve previously debunked other such rumors related to fake movie posters, such as this one claiming to be an official poster for a “Wicked” film.
