Description
Bill S. Preston Esq. (Alex Winter) and Ted Theodore Logan (Keanu Reeves) are Bill & Ted are two metalhead slackers who travel through time and learn they are destined to form a band called the Wyld Stallyns that will bring about global peace. The characters have also featured in other media including several video games and a comic book. Bill and Ted’s souls are met by Death (William Sadler) who challenges them in a game for their souls. Bill and Ted escape after giving Death a “melvin”. They attempt to alert their families but their ethereal forms prove difficult, and at one point, are cast down into Hell at a séance held by Missy. In Hell, they are tormented by Satan (voiced by Frank Welker), made to face their own fears, and realize their only escape is to take Death’s offer. Taken to Death’s chambers, the spirit gives them the option of what game to play. Bill and Ted, to Death’s dismay, select modern games like Battleship, Clue, and Twister, easily beating Death. Death admits defeat and willingly becomes their servant. Bill and Ted recognize they need to locate the smartest person in the universe to help build robots to counter De Nomolos’ evil robots. Death escorts the two to Heaven, and with God’s help, are directed to an alien named Station who has the ability to split into two identical twins, and readily offers to help Bill and Ted.
In 2010, Reeves indicated that Matheson and Solomon were working on a script for a third film.
Reeves gave an update on the film in February 2017 during an interview on The Graham Norton Show saying the story was written and discussed the plot of the film. “Basically, they’re supposed to write a song to save the world, and they haven’t done that. The pressure of having to save the world, their marriages are falling apart, their kids are kind of mad at them, and then someone comes from the future and tells them if they don’t write the song it’s just not the world, it’s the universe. So they have to save the universe because time is breaking apart” Reeves said. During the New York City Comic Convention, Reeves revealed that the title will be Bill & Ted Face the Music.
Solomon, speaking to Digital Spy in January 2018, said of the film’s long pre-production period:
We have a script that we really are proud of, that we worked very hard on, that we’ve done many iterations of – and we did it on spec, meaning we spent years working on it because we wanted to get it right, creatively. This is not, ‘Hey let’s all cash-in on the Bill & Ted thing for money’ – this is the opposite. This is, ‘We love these characters, they’ve been with us for our whole lives’ – Chris and me, and Alex and Keanu – and we wanted to visit them again as middle-aged men. We thought it would be really fun, and funny, and sweet.
Solomon further stated that they have had issues getting financing for the film as those they have approached want to see a reboot of Bill & Ted, rather than a sequel, and had also expressed concerns that since the first film was not distributed internationally, there would not be a large audience for this film. Solomon said that elements of the script would see the middle-aged Bill & Ted revisiting events of the first film, such as watching their interactions outside of the Circle K. Solomon confirmed that they have Steven Soderbergh aboard for production of the film, along with Scott Kroopf, who produced the original films. They also have planned for William Sadler to return as the Grim Reaper.
Pre-production of Face the Music was started in May 2018, with both Reeves and Winter confirmed to return to reprise their roles. The United States distribution will be handled by MGM under their Orion Pictures label. The international distribution rights are expected to be determined during the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, with Bloom Media negotiating these rights.
