It was
recently announced that
Bill and Ted Face the Music would be with us on August 21, 2020, and now we have some most excellent casting news.
Joining returning stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will be Brigette Lundy-Paine and Samara Weaving, who will play Billie Logan (daughter of Ted) and Thea Preston (daughter of Bill), respectively.
Lundy-Paine's credits include
Atypical and
The Glass Castle, while Weaving will be best known for her roles in Netflix's
The Babysitter and
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. They'll be joined by William Sadler, who will return as
Bogus Journey's Grim Reaper.
Original creators Chris Matheson (
Imagine That) and Ed Solomon
(Men in Black, Mosaic, Now You See Me) have written the script, while Dean Parisot (
Galaxy Quest, Red 2, Fun With Dick and Jane) has been confirmed to direct. Scott Kroopf (Limitless) will produce together with Alex Lebovici and Steve Ponce of Hammerstone Studios, with Steven Soderbergh serving as an EP alongside Scott Fischer, John Ryan Jr. and John Santilli.
If you're not familiar with
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure or
Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey we suggest you seek them out, as they really have stood the test of time.
