New Info on BILL & TED 3, Which Is Reportedly Set in the UK
After years of talk and work to develop a script for Bill & Ted 3, it looks like it’s actually getting close to production. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter have been very vocal about how excited they are for this movie, and in a recent interview with Forbes, Winter says it’s only a matter of time. He says:
“We’re working on the film every day at the moment in terms of the pre-prep-type work, so it’s an active project.”
He went on to say, “We have a script, we have a director, we have a studio — we’re just trying to nail down a start date.” He hopes to start production next year. In a separate report with The Sun inside sources are saying that the film reportedly takes place in the UK. They say:
"The whole film is going to have a huge British feel.... They’ll time-travel through London and meet historical figures, meaning the Queen and Winston Churchill could get cameos."
In a previous interview, he opened up about the story, saying:
"It's kind of like… I call it 'gravity,' you have to get this mass together to make it happen. In terms of the writers' voices being too peculiar, in this case no. I think they've really crafted something that's funny. [Bill and Ted have] been weighed down by the burden of having to save the world by the song, and they just can't write it. They're losing their wives and their children, they're losing their families.
"Yeah, they're just like, 'Dude, we have to write the song!' The future comes back and says if you don't write the song by this certain time the universe is going to unravel and history and everything is going to change and dinosaurs are gonna walk the Earth. Jesus is playing baseball! All sorts of weird things start unraveling and wormholes are twisting. We have to kind of bring order back, and it's connected into bringing our families together by writing a song."
He even offered a scene description from the film:
"It's edgy. There's a great scene where Bill and Ted are in jail and we're seeing our future us's and they're all tatted and hard. They're like, [tough sounding] 'What's up, dude? Hey dude. Hey guy.' 'Stop calling me dude!' They want to beat up Bill and Ted because they've inherited the life that they f**ked up. They're miserable and they hate Bill and Ted. There's some funny stuff!"
Bill & Ted 3 is a project that I’m very excited about, and I have high hopes for it. I think it’s going to deliver some great comedy that fans of the franchise are going to love.
