I thought the movie was great! Didn't see it in the theatre but I got around to renting the
DVD last year. It was a treat to see Speed and Trixie as little kids, and the plot elaboration on Rex was a terrific storyline addition. The entire cast did a bang-up job of capturing all the nuance of each of the characters. I was particularly impressed with Christina Ricci's take on Trixie; with that famous Jackie Kennedy bob with the little bow on the side she was a virtual doppelganger for the fabulous proto-feminist character whom the wonderful Corrinne Orr breathed life into. I read somewhere that around '91 or '92 there were tentative plans to make a Speed movie starring Keanu Reeves but for some reason it never got off the drawing board. Does anybody know anything about this?

The early 90's film got bogged down in developmental hell, so to speak. I know all the details as many do. Talk about a big waste of time to give the fans great expectations of a live-action film that never happened until 2008. That's Hollywood for you!
