Keanu Reeves ("The Matrix") is out and about doing press for his new movie
John Wick. That means it is time for him to field some more questions regarding the status of
Bill & Ted 3. Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson, the screenwriters behind
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), have been working on the
Bill & Ted 3 script for years. They've been trying to create script that calls for a modest budget. "
Part of the argument is that it's not that popular internationally, that's where so much of the funding for movies comes from these days," Keanu explained. "
They've worked on the script and the budget, just trying to get the right script and then get the business side wrapped up, financiers and rights, all the show business stuff."
As for the plot, it like 1989 original and the 1991 sequel, will revolve around
"Ted" Theodore Logan (Keanu Reeves) and
Bill S. Preston, Esquire (Alex Winter) writing a song that saves the world. After a few decades you would've figured their band, Wyld Stallyns, would've figured it out by now, but they haven't. "
The future comes back and says if you don't write the song by this certain time the universe is going to unravel and history and everything is going to change and dinosaurs are gonna walk the Earth," Keanu said. "
Jesus is playing baseball! All sorts of weird things start unraveling and wormholes are twisting. We have to kind of bring order back, and it's connected into bringing our families together by writing a song."
Keanu even described a scene from the script:
No! I mean, it's edgy. There's a great scene where Bill and Ted are in jail and we're seeing our future us's and they're all tatted and hard. They're like, [tough sounding] "What's up, dude? Hey dude. Hey guy." "Stop calling me dude!" They want to beat up Bill and Ted because they've inherited the life that they f**ked up. They're miserable and they hate Bill and Ted. There's some funny stuff!
Ted Theodore Logan (Keanu Reeves) and Bill S. Preston (Alex Winter), members of the totally bodacious local band The Wyld Stallyns, have just experienced a visitation from the future. His name is Rufus (stand-up legend George Carlin), and not only is he an awesome dude, but he also has a message for Bill and Ted. The destiny of mankind lies in their hands.
