Bill & Ted 3will reportedly begin production this spring. It was originally thought that they were getting ready for a January start date, but that time came and went. Now, it looks like cameras may even start rolling as soon as next month. When asked about the long-awaited sequel late last year, Bill S. Preston Esq. actor Alex Winter stated thatBill & Ted 3would be ready to start the production process early in 2019.
The fact thatAlex Winter and Keanu Reevesare coming back forBill & Ted 3and that they’re excited about it is pretty amazing to hear after all of these years of waiting. The sequel is set to be helmed byGalaxy Questdirector Dean Parisot from a script by original writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon. Producer Steven Soderbergh has revealed that the script is “hilarious” and noted that the movie could be ready in time for this Christmas season, which would be totally excellent.
In addition to theBill & Ted 3production start date news, the official Twitter account for the sequel posted a simple message to fans over the weekend: “Be Excellent to Each Other.” While that is definitely a message that the world needs right now, the tweet was also to celebrate the 30th anniversary ofBill & Ted’s Excellent Adventurehitting theaters. The first installment made its debut on February 17th, 1989 and received mixed reviews from critics who often found trouble with the historical accuracies in the comedy. However, the movie was a hit at the box office.
As for an exact shooting date forBill & Ted 3, that has not been confirmed at this time. However, with thepromotional tour for John Wick 3 on the horizon, Keanu Reeves is about to be a pretty busy dude. With that being said, one can imagine that it won’t take a whole lot of time for Reeves and Alex Winter to wrap up their parts for the highly anticipated sequel, which should give theJohn Wickactor plenty of time to comfortably do both projects.
Bill & Ted 3will see our heroes asmiddle-aged men with families of their own, wondering why their future didn’t end up as promised. They have “written thousands of tunes, but have yet to write a good one, much less the greatest song ever written,” according to the official synopsis. The fabric of time begins to tear and our heroes receive a visitor from the future who warns that their song is the only thing that can save all life as we know it. The duo will have to travel across time to write the best song and bring “harmony to the universe.” Together with the aid of their daughters, a new crop of historical figures, and some sympathetic music legends, they find much more than they bargained for.
