Bill and Ted 3??? NO WAY!!

April Fool's Day is almost a week gone but apparently a third Bill and Ted adventure is no joke. There have been rumblings in the past about Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves re-teaming with writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon for a most excellent new movie. However that's all I thought is was--talk.

Turns out my thoughts were bogus.

Keanu Reeves, who played Ted Theodore Logan in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and the sequel Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, told MTV news that writers are about six weeks away from the draft of a script. The movie apparently will revolve around Bill and Ted's efforts to write the song that "saves the world." Reeves has stated that his work on the third adventure of the non-heinous duo will begin after he finishes shooting the action drama 47 Ronin.

Personally I loved the first two films. I was also ten when Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure came out and thought losing my virginity meant kissing a girl. Time marches on and things change. I highly doubt that a third Bill and Ted film will be welcomed by anybody but the staunchest supporters of the original films. Once again Hollywood is banking heavily on the nostalgia value of its viewers. But does anybody really want to see Bill and Ted in their mid-forties? The charm of the two best friends was the fact that they were goofy California teenagers. Furthermore, Reeves has moved on to bigger and better things. Does he really want to revisit this role? Is Alex Winter that hard up for cash?

Unfortunately this movie is bound to be made and even a time traveling telephone booth isn't likely to stop it.
