I've found out that a sequel to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey is soon to have a sequel after more than 20 years after the second film in the series, as shown here ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/04/bill-and-ted-3-keanu-reeves-third-film_n_844688.html ) and many other sources These two original movies are some of my favorite films of all time, comparing very much so with Star Wars's original trilogy.

This is interesting to me for other reasons too: at first, the leaked news was that this film was to be made as a "remake" of the original, with Justin Bieber as main role of Ted and some other toolish child singer as bill (perhaps a Jonas Brother?), but after a large protest was signed, this idea was apparently discarded. Now, it's changed so that Keanu Reeves and Bill Winter are going to come back as "gnarly old dudes", and apparently Reeves says it's rather far into production

The original plot, in case people here haven't seen it (I'm sure some have, but most haven't) will seem rather comedic for Doctor Who lovers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_&_Ted's_Excellent_Adventure

If the original cast are involved, it can't go wrong. I'm only sad George Carlin won't be around as Rufus.

This almost amuses me.

This is either going to be amazing on many levels, or crash and burn on them all.

The first time I saw Bill and Ted I'd never seen Doctor Who and didn't realize exactly how funny it was that they were traveling a la phone booth.

RIP Rufus.

Same here. Of course their time-traveling phone booth doesn't have the spacious interior of a Tardis.

But the exterior form-factor is more common in this part of the world (for those of us who want to yell "look, a time machine")

I think that's what makes it even funnier especially near the end when they have around 12 people in it.

This is glorious. I can't wait.

Welcome to the club I'm glad I'm not the only one eagerly waiting for this.

There have been talks of a third Bill and Ted film for years (see also: a third Ghostbusters film). I'll believe it when I see it, but until then - be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes!

Oh yes, wasn't there a planned Direct-to-DVD version being planned for 2007? And another one in the mid 90's?

However, I finally think this must be the one, if Keanu Reeves himself is both in it *and* the one leaking it

Party on, my fellow B&T friend.

Yes, this, exactly this! It was only when I recently re-watched the films that I got the phone booth reference. I'll be interested to see what happens with this; as you guys said, it will either flop or be excellent.

Am I the only one that thinks this is an incredibly stupid statement? It's like saying when I reach the intersection, I'll either go right or left.

There are such things as mediocre movies.

I suspect it will encourage us to flop excellently to each other and party on dudes.

It ain't dead yet!

I never watched the second one. Do they ever marry those babes who were rescued from those royal ugly dudes?

Also, this will not be the same without George Carlin...



Excuse me, I need to change my pants now...

WATCH IT

Indeed, and indeed. We all miss rufus

EDIT: and follow elfprince's advisory. The second isn't as good as the first, but it's still good.
