The news has been quiet on this front, but the third Bill and Ted movie is still happening. The two simple dudes who traversed space and time will soon be returning to the big screen. Most of the project still stands with Dean Parisot still directing, the script is still completed and Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves likely returning to the roles. Alex Winters, known for the role of Bill, gave an update on the project.
[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. [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 and Ted 3 has been in pre-production since 2012. Why so long?
The thing we had going against us is that word got out. That was kind of a bummer. It just takes a long time to put a movie together. Now we’re having to build this thing in public, which is fine. I just feel bad [the fans] have to get dragged through this long, boring, protracted process.
So a few more questions were answered and we know the movie is still moving forward. Whether it’ll actually be completed after all this time remains to be seen.
