The news has come out of Cannes (via THR) that the third entry in the series, BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC, is currently in pre-production with Dean Parisot (RED 2, FUN WITH DICK AND JANE, GALAXY QUEST) directing from a script by the original creators of the series, Chris Matheson (IMAGINE THAT) and Ed Solomon (MEN IN BLACK).

Here is the official plot synopsis:
When we last met Bill (Winter) and Ted (Reeves) 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.
Reeves and Winter spoke on the movie finally being made saying, “We couldn't be more excited to get the whole band back together again. Chris and Ed wrote an amazing script, and with Dean at the helm we've got a dream team!"
No word yet on a release date, but can we hope for next year?
