There's been talk of a third installment of the BILL & TED franchise for years, but after so many delays and false starts, William "Bill" S. Preston Esq. (Alex Winter) and Theodore "Ted" Logan (Keanu Reeves) will finally return for BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC.
The cast for the upcoming film continues to grow as Deadline has reported that Jayma Mays (Glee) and Erinn Hayes (Childrens Hospital) have signed on to play the spouses of Bill and Ted. Mays will play Princess Joanna, Bill's wife, with Hayes playing Princess Elizabeth, Ted's wife. In addition, Variety added that Amy Stoch and Hal Landon Jr. have also signed on to reprise their original roles of Missy, Ted's step-mother, and Captain Logan, Ted's father. Beck Bennett (Saturday Night Live) has also joined up to play Deacon Logan, Ted’s younger brother. Previously announced cast-members include William Sadler, Samara Weaving, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Anthony Carrigan, and Kid Cudi. Dean Parisot (GALAXY QUEST) will direct from a script by Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, writers of the original two films.
The official synopsis for BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC:
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.
BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC is slated for an August 21, 2020 release.
