Hey dudes! Want a most excellent update on Bill & Ted 3? Actually this isn’t excellent, rad, or bodacious.
After talking about a third installment over the past few years, the story is still needing adjustments. Last we heard from Alex Winter was that the script was getting some rewrites and that’s the only update he had. When Keanu Reeves was recently asked about the third film, he had a similar answer:
“There have been a couple of drafts [of a Bill & Ted 3 script] and right now we’re waiting on the writers to come up with another draft. But we’re all very excited.” I’m excited that they are excited, however, will we get the same update two years from now? Are you Bill & Ted fans still holding out? Personally I am because I’d love to see how the characters evolved after twenty years. Reeves once said this on what journey the awesome pair might be taking:
“One of the plot points is that these two people have been crushed by the responsibility of having to write the greatest song ever written and to change the world. And they haven’t done it. So everybody is kind of like: ‘Where is the song?’ The guys have just drifted off into esoterica and lost their rock. And we go on this expedition, go into the future to find out if we wrote the song, and one future ‘us; refuses to tell us, and another future ‘us’ blames us for their lives because we didn’t write the song, so they’re living this terrible life. In one version we’re in jail; in another we’re at some kind of highway motel and they hate us.” Okay, I’ll wait another two years if I have to. I’m just glad they haven’t given up.
