BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC Has a Production Start Date!
Bill & Ted Face The Music is really happening! According to Omega Underground, the third film in the Bill and Ted franchise has a production start date! The movie will start shooting on January 10th, 2019!
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are confirmed to reprise their role of Ted “Theodore” Logan and Bill S. Preston Esq., with William Sadler returning to the role of death. Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) will direct from a script written by Ed Solomon. This is how Solomon has described the story:
"Bill and Ted were told at 16 that they were going to be the greatest people who ever lived. That they were gonna write a song that is going to save the world, and it hasn’t happened. And now they are middle-aged men. They’ve got wives who used to be princesses in medieval England who are now working double shifts at Denny’s, they’ve got teenagers that are about to leave home, money is tight, and they’ve been chasing this dream, writing song after song, when somebody from the future shows up and says, “You have 24 hours. The fate of all of space/time depends on it – and if it doesn’t happen now, it’s never gonna happen.” Bill and Ted are confused because they know they had to have written it, because after all the people in the future told them they did.. so they just must not have written it yet. So in their desperation they decide their only option is to go into the future – to when the have written it – and to steal it from themselves. What follows is a kind of utterly absurd, Christmas Carol-like journey through their lives past, present, and future. Their daughters (Bill has a daughter named Thea, Ted’s daughter is named Billie) are also very involved in trying to help them."
He goes on to say that the film is a "total comedy", but says that it's also "really, really grounded in the sweetness that is Bill and Ted and the emotion of where they would be at this point in their life."
I never thought we'd ever see Bill and Ted 3 ever happen, but here it is and I can't wait to see it! It's going to be a lot of fun catching up with these two wonderful characters after all these years.
