Article here: [https://screenrant.com/bill-ted-3-confirmed/](https://screenrant.com/bill-ted-3-confirmed/) > [@](#): > > Now, there is official news to report about the future of Bill and Ted. BLOOM announces that at long last, the movie will go forward under the title Bill and Ted Face the Music, with Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves returning in the leads. The movie is currently in pre-production, with a script by original creators Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon and Galaxy Quest‘s Dean Parisot confirmed as director (he has been attached to the project since 2012). Reeves and Winter said in a statement: > > “We couldn’t be more excited to get the whole band back together again. Chris and Ed wrote an amazing script, and with Dean at the helm we’ve got a dream team!" I’ll miss Rufus. ETA: do I need to head over to the thread about “Who is the Greatest American Rock Band?” and clarify that the correct answer is **Wyld Stallyns**?? ---

I’d seen the teaser photo of the two of them in the phone booth a couple of weeks ago. The original is still one of my favorite '80s movies, and I still quote it probably far too often for my own good. I’m looking forward to this! ---

Aw man, I just realized that in addition to **George Carlin** /Rufus, wasn’t one of the Eternals (or whatever the heck they are in the movie) played by **Clarence Clemons**? ::checks imdb:: Yes. Maybe his nephew Jake can sub for him, like he does now in the E Street Band!! (the other two Three Most Important people? **Martha Davis** of The Motels and **Fee Waybill** of the Tubes. Too funny. ---

Is the dialogue going to be retro (ca. 1980’s) or post-millennial? Too bad for Rufus, who’s gone to that excellent phone booth in the sky, but I wonder if So-Crates or Bona-Partay is still around? ---

They did a marathon of the first two on NYE and I introduced my kid to it. It was love at first “Whoa.” It held up really well, except for a few gay slurs and some minor things. I didn’t like Bogus as much, but as far as sequels go, it’s up there for me. Death was just… it was so bizarre that it worked. I don’t expect this to be Toy Story 3/ROTJ level good for third story of a trilogy, but I’m looking forward to it and the kid is too. I guess Napoleon screaming MERDE MERDE MERDE MERDE in a bowling alley just transcends generations. ---
