This would have been excellent.

Destined to save the universe, Bill S. Preston (Alex Winter) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves) are still living in San Dimas, California with their historical babe wives (Erinn Hayes, Jayma Mays) and equally music-obsessed kids, Billie (Brigette Lundy-Paine) and Thea (Samara Weaving), and they still haven’t written the song that’s meant to ensure the survival of all mankind. Now middle-aged, they find themselves in a race against time and they must act fast, to keep the world, their lives, and their families going. During this phone interview with Collider, William Sadler (who plays Death …

Bill S. Preston (Alex Winter) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves) are back in Bill & Ted Face the Music as the San Dimas, California duo still trying to fulfill their destiny to save the universe with their music. It’s been nearly 20 years since we last saw these best friends, and now, they’re middle-aged dads living with their historical babe wives (Erinn Hayes and Jayma Mays) and equally music-obsessed kids, Billie (Brigette Lundy-Paine) and Thea (Samara Weaving).

Warning: Minor spoilers are discussed during this interview. Now that Bill & Ted Face the Music is in select movie theaters and available on demand, it’s time to post my spoiler conversation with director Dean Parisot about the long-awaited sequel. As you can watch in the player below, Parisot reveals how they shot 3 or 4 post-credits scenes that were all improvised and picked the one that you see at the very end of the film, how the character Station ( from Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey) was originally going to be part of the opening montage, …

Bill & Ted Face the Music isn't quite excellent but it's sure not bogus either. Party on, dudes!

The Bill & Ted movies are, for the most part, a warm-hearted and sweet affair. Bill S. Preston Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves) greet the world with simplicity and kindness. They’re not the sharpest tools in the shed, but they have a consistent awe and wonder at the universe while maintaining an unbreakable friendship. But it’s been 31 years since their Excellent Adventure and 29 years since their Bogus Journey. Comedy sequels are tough and only get tougher with more time passing. Thankfully, director Dean Parisot and screenwriters Chris Matheson & Ed Solomon …

Along with the most excellent first trailer, the first Bill & Ted 3 poster for the long-awaited sequel was also released today. Titled Bill & Ted Face the Music, the follow-up picks up with our time-traveling heroes in middle age. They’re still playing music as Wyld Stallyns, but fame has eluded them. And so has the song that will save the world. When they’re confronted with the notion that they have to write the song in a very short period of time or the world will end, Bill and Ted decide to go into the …

At long last, the first trailer for Bill & Ted Face the Music has arrived. The highly anticipated sequel Bill & Ted 3 has been in the works for a long, long time with original screenwriters Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson returning to craft a new story alongside Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter. The new film picks up in real time as William “Bill” S. Preston Esq. and Theodore “Ted’ Logan have reached middle age and still have yet to write the song that will save the world. An inciting event enacts a ticking clock, and Bill and Ted must …

There are still plenty of fun things to tease about Bill and Ted Face the Music despite the seven-month wait until its August premiere. Back in December, we got a look at some new images from the movie which teased the two pairs of unlikely heroes at the center of the story: lifelong pals Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves), now older and (maybe?) wiser, and their daughters, Thea (Samara Weaving) and Billie (Brigette Lundy-Paine). But, until Friday, we had yet to see these two generations together in one frame. Thankfully, Bill & Ted Face the Music …

The last time we got a Bill & Ted movie was 1991’s brilliant Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, but now stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter have reunited for this third installment from series writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon.

Strange things are about to be a-foot in New Orleans. After literal decades of hypes, teases, and false starts, Bill & Ted Face the Music will start shooting on Monday, July 1, according to co-writer Ed Solomon. "Monday. Crew call: 7:30. First shot: 9:00," Solomon wrote on Twitter. Barring anyone from the past or future arriving to stop it, this is real, this is a thing that's actually happening, and this is, to borrow a phrase from a couple of scholars, most excellent. Face the Music will catch up with time-traveling bros Ted Logan (…

Back in early April, I tweeted that the upcoming Bill & Ted sequel would feature the Wild Stallyns' daughters, and sure enough it was announced Wednesday that Samara Weaving (The Babysitter) and Brigette Lundy-Paine (Atypical) have been cast alongside Keanu Reeves and Alex Winters in Bill & Ted Face the Music. The sequel will find the time-traveling duo joined by their daughters in their quest to save the universe. Weaving will play Bill's daughter, Thea Preston, while Lundy-Paine will play Ted's daughter, Billie Logan. That's right -- Bill and Ted named their daughters after one …
