In totally awesome news, a "Bill and Ted 3" movie sequel has been confirmed. The sequel "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" came out in 1991 making it about twenty years into the future that we will see Bill & Ted now.
The star of the first two films, Keanu Reeves, had mentioned it in passing once before, leaving many scratching their heads. Was he joking or serious? Apparently co-star Alex Winter confirmed talks over the third film launching many into a frenzy for the new movie. According to AceShowbiz, screenwriters Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon are both working on the movie now.
So what's the plot going to be? Well according to Alex Winter it will be "a straight up, what's the funniest and most surprising take on where Bill and Ted would be right now if we stopped back in on them? That's what we're doing." This third movie will be the follow up to "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure," and "Bil & Ted's Bogus Journey."
Sounds like a great concept, and while there's been so many reboots, remakes and sequels, this will be a welcome one. However will it flop like other sequel that were years away from the last movie sequel? Examples are "Indiana Jones 4" and "Die Hard 4," both of which were made years after the third. In the Indy film, Harrison Ford was quite aged. Luckily, Reeves and Winter aren't too old so they won't be in rocking chairs or an old folks home. However a trip back in time for history's sake will be quite interesting to see now that they're older!
How do you feel about a third "Bill & Ted" film? Would you go check it out in a theater? The big question is what will they call it with all the fancy slang lingo these days?

2) Indiana Jones 4 did not "flop." It wasn't a great movie, but it was a huge financial success. Live Free or Die Hard did quite well, too. You're welcome to say you don't like them, but please don't mis-report them as "flops."
3) Why do the commenters keep saying "if" the original stars return? Both stars are confirmed. There's nothing to speculate here.
About the potential film itself:
4) I would have thought Keanu was still too big a star to do this.
5) I love the original film, and I love about half of the second. But is doing a movie that captured the metalhead youth of the late 80's and 90's really relevant anymore? Knowing me, though, I might have to see it anyway.
So true, 19 years later it makes you wonder if they can capture the latest generations of movie goers. Same can be said of a lot of the remakes/reboots they're doing, some seem to be good, others are awful (Karate Kid was great, A-Team was awful)
Two more thoughts that occurred to me after I wrote my first post: 1) George Carlin won't be able to reprise his role as Rufus, sadly. 2) What studio is going to make this film? Orion Pictures went bankrupt years ago, and MGM (which distributed the DVDs) can't get any film off of the ground right now.
