Keanu Reeves Announces Bill & Ted 3, Reveals Excellent Plot Details
Apparently, 20 years isn't too long to wait before making a sequel. Two decades after the last Bill & Ted movie hit theaters, Keanu Reeves has announced that franchise writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon are feverishly working on a script, the details of which the actor shared on Monday afternoon.
The actor sat down with MTV to promote his indie film Henry's Crime and assured the outlet that the third Bill & Ted installment is very much underway -- in spite of the fact that the titular characters, played by Alex Winter and Reeves, would be 50 today.
"I know a little bit," Reeves revealed about the plot. "When we last got together, part of it was that Bill and Ted were supposed to have written the song that saved the world, and it hasn't happened. [...] So they've now become kind of possessed by trying to do that. Then there's an element of time and they have to go back."
So yes, the Wyld Stallyns may reunite onscreen one more time to achieve the greatness that George Carlin's Rufus predicted in the 1989 original film. Party on, dudes.

I don't care what a dork it makes me, I would happily part with the cost of a full price movie ticket to see a Bill & Ted sequel.
Did you really have to throw in that line about Bill and Ted being 50 though? Feeling ancient these days already....
Exaggerating for effect is fine, but the characters were 18 in 1989, which would make them 40 now.
Bill & Ted in Excellent 3D?
It's a bit sad that they can't have Rufus in it. Unless they have outtakes of George Carlin they can use.
One of the great moments in life was when I happened, by pure coincidence, to meet Alex "William S Preston, Esq" Winter one day, then Keanu "Ted Theodore Logan" Reeves the next.
Only meeting Hercules and Xena came close.
Shit, the retro of 90's has begun. I am so old.
Man, I didn't think about that. That sucks, there's no way it'll feel like the other two without him :(
Put them in the Iron Maiden....
haha! Keanu Reeves looks funny :-)
I feel like part of the charm of the first 2 movies was that late 80's/early 90's setting they had. I would like to see how Bill and Ted's lives prgressed.
