Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter Talk About ‘Bill And Ted 3’; Will The Sequel To ‘Bill And Ted’ Finally Happen?

While busy doing the press round and promoting his latest movie "John Wick", Keanu Reeves has so many things to think about like "Bill and Ted 3".

The 50-year-old actor looks in-demand this year with seemingly side-by-side projects on his hands. Apart from the rumor that he is in the list of possible actor to play Marvel's Doctor Strange, he has updates on what's the real score in the sequel to "Bill and Ted" movie.

Reeves, who played Theodore "Ted" Logan in "Bill and Ted" said, as published at Screen Rant, "We have to get the script in the right place. Chris [Matheson] and Ed [Solomon] have been working really hard over a couple of years to get the draft in the right place. What is the reason to make this movie besides nostalgia or the love of these characters? Where can they be in their life that can be a story that is worth telling or has something in it and is funny? They have that. It didn't help that the first script that they brought in was probably budgeted at $150 million dollars. I don't know if 'Bill and Ted' carry that much weight. Part of the argument is that it's not that popular internationally, that's where so much of the funding for movies comes from these days. They've worked on the script and the budget, just trying to get the right script and then get the business side wrapped up, financiers and rights, all the show business stuff."

Meanwhile, Alex Winter, who played as Bill S. Preston Esq. gave clues on the direction of the story of "Bill and Ted 3". "Grand Piano" actor said as posted on MSN Entertainment, "Bill and Ted were supposed to have written a song that changed everything. Years later, we have yet to do that, and we really don't know why; we are confused as to why our destiny was not what it was supposed to be and we set out on a quest to find this song."

Winter added, "It's really about two guys with this youthful innocence and spirit who are not youthful any more, and like what does that mean to them and to their kids and to their family and to their idea of what their destiny is supposed to be. Of course, we're exploring those themes through comedy and through very absurd situations, but that's kind of the theme of it."

"Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" was released in 1989 and "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" in 1991.
