Seriously Keanu Reeves replacement in Speed 2 dam it I was excited for Kyle Chandler geting it

Kyle Chandler woulda been my first choice, but Jason Patric is a fine actor. This definitely works.

I'd prefer Chandler but I suspect that he got a lot more expensive after June 10th. It's too bad because he would have been a perfect fit for the role.

He really would have been a perfect match and I'm bummed he's not going to be doing it.

I will say Jason Patric is certainly not a bad choice either.

why didn't they just get Ted McGinley?

There's also the fact that real life people tell themselves comforting lies about who they are as a person, and then commit acts in direct opposition to that self-image, all the time.

I had no idea there was a movie legends blog! I've got some catching up to do.

You are joking right.

Maybe Chandler wanted a little too much input. WTF give it to him. Patric's fine but Chandler would've been gold.
