It’s official! Nearly 21 years since the last Bill and Ted adventure, Actor Keanu Reeves revealed to the UK paper, The Independent that not only is the script for Bill and Ted 3 finished but “it’s good!”
Keanu went on to tell the paper more details about the script saying, “We’re trying to put it together. It’s a good script too.
The last we’ve heard from Keanu about the script was last April when he told MTV more details on what he hoped would come out of a final draft. “When we last got together, part of it was that Bill and Ted were supposed to have written the song that saved the world, and it hasn’t happened. So they’ve now become kind of possessed by trying to do that. Then there’s an element of time and they have to go back.”
So what exactly does Reeves think about the huge time gap, and can they pull it off? Reeves admitted to The Independent that he was a little leery and he had to come over his fears a little bit stating, “I had the classic 40 meltdown. I did. It’s embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness. It was also the end of the projection of my younger self. I came to the place where I thought, ‘I don’t know where I am anymore but where have I come from and what am I doing?’”
Ted’s counterpart actor Alex Winter even tweeted about the third installment too, “Script done? Check. We love it? Check. Green light? Working on it!”
So what do you guys think? Will this new installment pick up any new fans? It seems like with the reboot of 21 Jump Street that if there’s a right time to relive some glory it’s now.
