When it started to look like a third Bill & Ted movie was actually going to come together, Keanu Reeves started to spill the beans about the direction the story would go. He said that unlike the "pass the torch" mentality of a Ghostbusters 3, this movie would have Bill and Ted following up on a plot thread dangling from the last film. It would deal with the two Wyld Stallyns rockers in their 40s, and not having fulfilled their destiny of writing the song that would change the world. Now in an interview with GQ, Reeves fleshed out the plot a bit more, and it sounds like that core idea is still intact....
Reeves: "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 and Ted meeting future Bill and Teds? Ok, that could be pretty awesome, but I'm curious to see how they pull that off. As our own John Nolan said on our show recently, it would be kinda cool if they could meet up with Tenacious D while traveling the timestream. Two bands looking to change the world? Come on, you know that would be pretty sick.
It may be awhile before the film ever opens, but things are moving in the right direction with Dean Parisot recently named as director.
