Bill & Ted 3 Is Finally Happening And The Studio Isn’t Messing Around
We only recently learned during the Cannes Film Festival that a deal had finally been closed in order to get the long-awaited sequel officially going. Now, it appears as though the creative team is wasting no time as, according to a new report, filming on Bill and Ted 3 is set to commence on January 10, 2019.
In Bill And Ted Face The Music, middle age and family responsibilities have caught up with our two heroes who have not yet fulfilled their destiny of saving the universe with rock and roll. They’ve written thousands of tunes, but they have yet to write a good one, much less the greatest song ever written. Things change when the fabric of time and space begins tearing around them and a visitor from the future warns Bill and Ted that only their song can save life as we know it. So they set out on a time travel adventure to find the song capable of saving their world and balancing the universe. The two are also going to get some help from their daughters this time around.
Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) is set to direct and recently revived Orion Pictures will distribute. William Sadler is likely to reprise his role as Death, but that hasn’t been confirmed by the studio just yet.
Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson, writers of the original movies, have returned to pen the screenplay for the sequel, which has been trapped in development hell for quite some time. That’s over with. Unless something unforeseen gets in the way, this is really happening.
The movie also doesn’t currently have a release date, but with filming set to begin in January, it’s not hard to imagine that it could come out in late 2019 or early 2020.
