Bill and Ted 3 Discussion

[Kellie]

They’ve been to the past. They’ve been to the future. They’ve been all around the after life. Where (or when) will Bill and Ted be adventuring next? We don’t know just yet, but from the latest most non-heinous tweet of an update offered by Alex Winter (Bill), it sounds like things are close to moving forward on the third installment of the franchise and they’re working on getting the greenlight.

It’s been more than two decades since the original Bill & Ted film came out, and nearly as long since its first and only sequel. The original movie starred Winter and a then up-and-coming Keanu Reeves as two dim-witted teens who needed to pass a history test and were helped by Rufus (George Carlin), a man from the future who loaned them a time-machine to help them out. This, like the sequel, is all done in the name of rock ‘n roll, as Bill and Ted aspire to be rock stars and are destined for success, assuming they can overcome the obstacles in their path. In Bogus Journey, they get killed by evil-robot-us’es, and spend much of the movie in the afterlife. Once again, rock ‘n roll plays a pretty big part part in saving the day. (Station!)

Rumors of a third film have been out there for a while now and we’ve known for over a year that a script was in the works. Based on Winter’s latest tweet, which was directed to George Carlin's daughter Kelly Carlin, it seems the script is done and they’re looking to get the greenlight to move forward.

So, the good news is, it sounds like the script is done. Now we just have to wait and see whether this project gets the greenlight to move forward.

While a third film wouldn’t be quite the same without George Carlin around to play Rufus, I’d definitely love to see Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter teamed up again for another Bill and Ted adventure. Judging by the first two movies, it might be safe to assume that rock ‘n roll and the fate of mankind could play a part in the third story. And possibly babes that need saving? Let's hope the next update on the film is of the excellent variety, as opposed to the bogus.

While we wait for more (hopefully good) news on the Bill & Ted 3 front, feel free to brush up on your B&T historical facts. Napoleon was a “short, dead dude.â€￾ Caesar was a “salad dressing dude.â€￾ And Joan of Arc was Noah’s Wife. As for when the Mongol’s ruled China, “I don't know. I just work here.â€￾

No way! This most excellent.

I may be one of the only ones but I dug the shit out of the originals and I'd like to see where they could take this after nearly twenty years.

Im pretty sure Keanu would never sign on cuz he's said in tons of interviews he wouldn't including he has words like dude and totally he flat out refuses to say but hell I'd like to see it too and I miss Carlin already.

I imagine Keanu gave his okay before Winter went ahead and banged out a script.

I think Keanu will do it just for his fans and fans of the movies. I didn't care for the second movie, but I loved the first one.

'Bill And Ted 3' will be 'about rock'n'roll'

Bill And Ted star Alex Winter has revealed that the proposed third film will focus on rock'n'roll.

Winter is looking likely to reprise his role as Bill S Preston for the first time since 1991's Bill And Ted's Bogus Journey. And now he has teased the plot of the time-travelling comedy sequel.

He told MTV News:

The movies were always about rock'n'roll. That was a big part of the movies, so [we'll explore] what's happened to rock’n’roll in the last 20 years.

"The movie's gonna get in and play with some of that stuff. Where's rock, where are we, what’s happened to the whole idea of saving the world, or what hasn't happened?"

Preston, and Keanu Reeves' character Ted 'Theodore' Logan were destined to save the world with their heavy metal band Wyld Stallyns. And although the third movie has yet to receive a green light, Winter said he was hopeful the film would get made, saying "I think the reality is there will probably be another one."

Reeves recently confirmed that a first draft of a script is now complete, and is being sent to studios.
