Ever since principal production wrapped on BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC in August of last year, Orion Pictures and those close to the film have been most excellent about sharing images from the upcoming sequel that have William "Bill" S. Preston Esq. (Alex Winter) and "Ted" Theodore Logan (Keanu Reeves) looking as if they're ready for yet another time-traveling adventure. Be that as it may, fans who're eager to discover what new things are afoot at the Circle K for the San Dimas slackers still have one lingering question that remains unanswered: When can we expect a trailer for the movie?
Recently while responding to a fan question on Twitter, franchise screenwriter Ed Solomon informed the masses that the final visual effects on the film are still in process of being completed as a part of the post-production process. However, once those effects are finished, Solomon hinted that fans can expect a trailer "some time in Spring." Station!
Here's a synopsis for BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC that's been making its way around the space-time continuum:
When we last met Bill and Ted they were time-traveling teenagers trying to pass history class and win the battle of the bands. Once prophesized to save the universe with their rock and roll, middle age and the responsibilities of family have caught up with these two best friends who have not yet fulfilled their destiny. They’ve written thousands of tunes, but they have yet to write a good one, much less the greatest song ever written. With the fabric of time and space tearing around them, a visitor from the future warns our heroes that only their song can save life as we know it. Out of luck and fresh out of inspiration, Bill and Ted set out on a time travel adventure to seek the song that will set their world right and bring harmony in the universe as we know it. Together with the aid of their daughters, a new crop of historical figures, and some sympathetic music legends, Bill and Ted find much, much more than just a song.
Dean Parisot (RED 2, GALAXY QUEST) is directing the film from a screenplay by original Bill & Ted writers Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson. In addition to the aforementioned actors, Samara Weaving will star as Thea Preston, while Brigette Lundy-Paine will play Billie Logan. Meanwhile, William Sadler will reprise his role as Death for the new film, alongside Jayma Mays as Princess Joanna; Erinn Hayes as Princess Elizabeth; Amy Stoch as Missy; Kristen Schall as Kelly; Beck Bennett as Deacon Logan; Hal Landon Jr. as Captain Logan; and Holland Taylor as The Great Leader. Muscian-actor Kid Cudi also stars in the latest triumphant trek through time and space.
BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC will dial into theaters on August 21, 2020.
