'Bill & Ted 3' Movie Going to Happen with Original Stars Alex Winter & Keanu Reeves (VIDEO)
Bill & Ted 3 is very much underway with the script being written and actor/director Alex Winter has revealed new details about the upcoming movie.
Winter and co-star Keanu Reeves will both return for the new movie, which is already 23 years after 1991's Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.
"[Bill & Ted] will be 40-something and it's all about Bill and Ted grown up, or not grown up," Winter tells us. "It's really sweet and really 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."
"Me and Keanu and [original writers] Chris [Matheson] and Ed [Solomon] are all very close and have remained close over the years," says Winter. "We'd be having dinner and we'd be like, 'is there a point? Is there a way in?' We'd kick an idea around and go no and we would leave it alone for a bunch of years. I guess about four years ago we had an idea together that we thought was pretty great. I think it was because so much time had gone by that it was great."
"It was really just the four of us and we were really very measured about it. It took time to construct the idea, it took Chris and Ed time to build the first draft. Then we put a producer together and got a director [Galaxy Quest helmer Dean Parisot]. We've been working on drafts for the last couple of years. The script's been finished for a while, but comedy is so specific. We're in that world where producers are on, financiers are on and we're just working and reworking the script."
So there is no release date in sight yet for Bill & Ted 3 but at least it is definitely underway and is going to happen!
