Bill & Ted Face The Music Officially Announced

It’s official…Bill and Ted are getting back together. BLOOM announced on Tuesday that Bill & Ted Face The Music is beginning pre-production, with Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter reuniting to play their famous roles as Ted “Theodore” Logan (Reeves) and Bill S. Preston Esq. (Winter).

Following Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, the film is written by original creators Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon. Dean Parisot will direct the film. MGM will release the movie in the U.S. under their Orion Pictures banner. BLOOM is handling international sales, which commenced in Cannes this week.

When we last met Bill and Ted 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.

Winters and Reeves said in a statement, “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!”
