Anderson alias Neo is surprisingly not only alive, but seems to have only dreamed what happened. “Am I crazy?” He doubts his sanity to his psychiatrist. At least until he follows the rabbit one more time.
That is why he rejected “Speed 2”
In the “Graham Norton Show”, Reeves spoke again when guest Jack Whitehall (33) asked why he was not part of “Speed 2”. “I loved playing Jack Tavern and working with Sandra Bullock – but a cruise ship?” Said the actor, critical of the means of transport, which is the focus of the sequel. “I had nothing against those involved, but at the time I had the feeling that it just wasn’t right.”
