After years of trying to get the movie made Bill & Ted 3 is currently filming. With Alex White and Keanu Reeves reprising their orginal roles and with a script written by the original creators of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, the movie has a lot of promise. In this edition of Bill and Ted’s adventures we find them as middle aged men with families who’ve written hundreds of songs, but still haven’t created the perfect song to save the world. Now we have our first taste as the first official stills from the movie have been released. We get a look at their daughter’s Thea and Billie plus a new character played by Kid Cudi.
The movie is 8 years in the making and in an interview with Yahoo in 2014 Alex Winter said:
“[Bill & Ted] will be 40-something and it’s all about Bill and Ted grown up, or not grown up. It’s really sweet and really f—-ing funny. But it’s a Bill & Ted movie, that’s what it is. It’s for the fans of Bill & Ted. It fits very neatly in the [series]. It’s not going to feel like a reboot. The conceit is really funny: What if you’re middle-aged, haven’t really grown up and you’re supposed to have saved the world and maybe, just maybe, you kinda haven’t? There’s many versions of ourselves in this movie,” he continues. “[It’s] answering the question: ‘What happened to these guys?’ They’re supposed to have done all this stuff, they weren’t the brightest bulbs on the tree, what happened 20 years later? To answer that question in a comedic way felt rich with possibility.”
Bill & Ted 3 is set to hit theaters on August 21, 2020.
