Excellent!
Anyone who's not familiar with the 1989 cult classic Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure needs to go out and rent it, less ye perish. According to Slash Film, star of the Bill and Ted series, Keanu Reeves states that he may, or may not be working on a new installment in the franchise! He may have just been joking but if his one little mention sparks as much interest as I think it is, his hand may be forced. Here's what we hope to see in the third installment of the franchise.
It's present day, which is twenty years after the events of the first movie. The Wyld Stallyns have not only become a huge mega success and sold multi-platinum albums all across the world, but have sadly broken up recently due to clashing egos.
This news is so devastating to the world who were brought together by the power of rock by the Stallyns that one particular group of fanatics, a Pagan cult plan to take action. This cult kidnaps the disheartened son of Ted (Keanu) who acts like a near replica of Reeve's character in the 89 hit. Ted, now more mature but still meat-headed version of himself from the 89 hit is given a window of opportunity to get his son back: one day to mend things with Bill and reform the Wyld Stallyns or his son will be sacrificed to the Gods who will mend things for him. The only problem is that Bill has seemingly dropped off the face of the earth.
Ted looks to help from his fans, particularly a group of scientists who love the Stallyns so much that they donate to him a time machine... that doubles as a phone booth. Ted travels to various points in time seeking advice from friends like Abraham Lincoln and Socrates before he realizes he can just go to the point in time he had the blow-out with Bill and prevent it from happening. Unfortunately, when he tries this, it fails just as hard as ever, BUT it forces Ted to understand what he needs to do to mend things with Bill in the present. And mend they do, performing a huge rocking concert that causes a mountain to crumble and crush the evil pagan cult, but hey, they die happy cuz their band is back together.
And if there's any justice in the world, to be written by John Hamburg (I Love You Man, Zoolander, Meet The Parents) and directed by Ben Stiller.
