Speed 3 - Will Dennis Hopper Return From The Dead?

20th Century Fox has plans to make a third Speed movie which will see the return of Dennis Hopper, an article in The Guardian has revealed. The article reads,

“He certainly isn’t in the mood to discuss any of the half a dozen films he is due to appear in this year, a roster which is due to include a performance in Speed 3, even though I have plenty of questions about that. Surely his character Howard Payne died in a decapitation incident in the last reel of Speed 1? “It’s a river of shit,” he tells me pleasantly but firmly, “from which I have tried to extract some gold.”

There is no word on whether Speed helmer Jan de Bont will return for the third film. Bont is in preproduction on Meg, a monster film which involves a Carcharodon Megalodon, the 70 foot 40 ton prehistoric cousin of the great white shark. Cool!

The movie is ‘supposedly’ on hold because New Line were busy working on Rush Hour 3. Now that the film is set to hit theatres, Bont will be contractually obligated to go into production on Meg.

There is also no confirmation if stars of the previous movies Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock will be returning. One thing is for sure, if Dennis Hopper’s character does return to the film then how will they bring him back from the dead?

Whether Speed 3 is on of off, Dennis Hopper certainly doesn’t want to talk!
