Speaking with Yahoo Movies, Alex Winter touched on the current state of the third BILL & TED movie - still chugging along and in development.
Sounds like the boys become involved with parallel realities, perhaps?
“[Bill & Ted] will be 40-something and it’s all about Bill and Ted grown up, or not grown up,” Winter tells us. “It’s really sweet and really f—-ing funny.
“But it’s a Bill & Ted movie, that’s what it is. It’s for the fans of Bill & Ted. It fits very neatly in the [series]. It’s not going to feel like a reboot. The conceit is really funny: What if you’re middle-aged, haven’t really grown up and you’re supposed to have saved the world and maybe, just maybe, you kinda haven’t?”
“There’s many versions of ourselves in this movie,” he continues. “[It’s] answering the question: ‘What happened to these guys?’ They’re supposed to have done all this stuff, they weren’t the brightest bulbs on the tree, what happened 20 years later? To answer that question in a comedic way felt rich with possibility.”
I love it. I love that it's about them older (aged in more or less real time), instead of rebooting or whatever. I want to see it. Someone make it happen. More from Yahoo HERE.
