Keanu Reeves Talks “Bill and Ted 3″ Details

By Kirsten Anderson Movie News

The original Bill & Ted try to learn about history.

Did I ever think that I would be writing two posts within a one week period about a third “Bill & Ted” movie? No, of course I didn’t. But life is funny like that, so just a few days after writing about how the proposed film has a director attached, I now come back to you with more.

In an interview with GQ, Keanu Reeves reveals something of the plot from the script by Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon:

One of the plot points is that these two people have been crushed by the responsibility of having to write the greatest song ever written and to change the world. And they haven’t done it. So everybody is kind of like: “Where is the song?” The guys have just drifted off into esoterica and lost their rock. And we go on this expedition, go into the future to find out if we wrote the song, and one future “us” refuses to tell us, and another future “us” blames us for their lives because we didn’t write the song, so they’re living this terrible life. In one version we’re in jail; in another we’re at some kind of highway motel and they hate us.

“Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” starring Reeves and Alex Winter, opened in 1989. “Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey” followed in 1991. This week Reeves’s documentary about directing, “Side by Side,” opens in LA on Friday and will be available on VOD on August 22nd. With Chris Kenneally as writer and director, Reeves interviews Danny Boyle, James Cameron, David Fincher, George Lucas, David Lynch, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Steven Soderbergh, Lars Von Trier, The Wachowskis, so there should be some good stuff there.
