Bill and Ted Script Finished. Excellent!

The much anticipated third instalment is officially script ready. According to Alex Winter (Bill of Bill and Ted) who has Tweeted:

“@antmaurizio: Bill & Ted 3, less than 6 weeks away and counting? Movie is gonna kick some ass.” > Just got the script. And now to read…

You know what that means? It means we can actually have a kick-ass Bill and Ted movie. It means that we’re finally going to get to watch an aged Bill S Preston Esq and Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan reform as the Wyld Stallyns. EXCELLENT!

The sequel brings to question 2 things. 1, what will this film be about? And 2, what will the film be called?

The first has already been semi-answered by Keanu Reeves who has said that they are the same characters in the present day but they’ve not wrote the song that is meant to change the world for the better. Through frustration and lack of answers they somehow go back to their old time machine.

Personally, I’m expecting some deep life issues to be touched upon like we should always be excellent to each other.

The name? I think it should be called Bill and Ted’s Gnarly Suburban house. It could be about the adjustments of being a middle aged white man still trying to be cool in an ever changing social climate and they adjust to their place in the world by using the time travelling phone booth to visit other middle aged rock stars that should of died young- looking at you Mick Jagger. Just an idea, although they’d probably just need to catch a train rather than time travel. Meh.

Lastly, this is a personal favourite for me. It’s a film from my childhood which has shaped and personified me, dude. I would be in no way shape or form be any way as cool as I am today without the help from Bill and Ted, and robot Bill and Ted, and the alien things. And Death. Death definitely need to return. I miss Death.
