Whoa! After nearly 30 years and a lot of back and forth talk, the duo of Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are returning to their iconic roles as Bill & Ted in a new film. It was officially announced today that Bill & Ted Face the Music is officially happening.
The film will see the director Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) join Reeves and Winter with Chris Matheson as writer. This third film in the Bill & Ted franchise will also have Steven Soderbergh (Godless, Ocean’s 8) serve as executive producer.
This third installment in the franchise will follow the two leads as middle-aged adults as they once again time travel to complete their destiny of saving the world with their song. To me, it kind of sounds similar to the second film, Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. It was reported that George Carlin‘s character Rufus would be a “deep part of the [third] film.”
Just recently Reeves and Winter reunited to talk about the classic 1989 film Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure as well as if the much talked about third film would in fact happen.
Scott Fischer, John Ryan Jr., John Santilli will serve as executive producers alongside Soderbergh, Scott Koopf, Alex Lebovici, and Steve Ponce will produce the film. There’s no word yet on when we can expect this new film but until then, “be excellent to each other!”
