A Sequel to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?

Posted on April 5, 2008

No, it's not a late April Fool's Joke. Keanu Reeves told MTV that he heard someone is doing a remake of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Then he dropped the bomb: he's not adverse to making a sequel himself.

"I hear they're doing a remake," Reeves said of the movie that launched him to fame. "[Alex Winter and I spoke] on the phone the other day [about it]. We're great friends." So step into the phone booth, Mr. Reeves, would you ever be up for another sequel?

"The most serious we ever got was a few years ago," he confessed of a hitherto unknown third film. "I had once mentioned about doing it when we were 40. Now maybe the only shot we have is to do it when we're 50." And where will the Wyld Stallions be then? The same place they are now, laughed Reeves, "in each and every one of us."

Another Bill and Ted's! To paraphrase another character from the film: Everything would be different, but the same... things would be more moderner than before...bigger, and yet smaller...San Dimas High School football rules!!!!

What is this rumor of a remake? How dare they consider a remake without the original Wyld Stallions?? So, if they did a third movie in the series instead of a remake of the first film where would Bill and Ted be now? In rehab? Still touring, like the Rolling Stones? We're sure their lives are most excellent. Perhaps some time-traveling offspring could show up...
