Now more than ever, the world needs to be reminded to be excellent to each other. Talk of a third “Bill and Ted” movie has kept hope alive that we’ll see Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted “Theodore” Logan once again, even if George Carlin’s death means Rufus won’t be joining them. Last night at New Yorker Festival, Keanu Reeves offered the whoa-worthy news that the third installment has a title: “Bill and Ted Face the Music.”

Los Angeles, prepare your self for a most non-heinous adventure this July 2nd at 7:30 when the American Cinematheque's Aero Theatre is set to screen the iconic Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and its amazingly weird sequel Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, complete with a Q & A from star Alex Winter. After nearly 30 years, the Bill & Ted films continue to stand up as absolutely unique experiences in the annals of popular culture, in spite of their outright bizarreness. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is one of my earlier cinema memories, having been invited to a classmate's ninth birthday party at the theater, and those images remain burned into my mind for all time. I recently revisted the films with my own son...

Director and documentarian Mark Hartley scores both a film history and comedy success with this ‘wild, untold’ account of the 1980s film studio that was both revered and despised by everyone who had contact with it. The ‘cast list’ of interviewees is encyclopedic, everybody has a strong opinion, and some of them don’t need four-letter words to describe their experience!

Keanu Reeves gives an update on the state of Bill & Ted 3...
How long have we been waiting for Bill & Ted 3? Over 25 years. How long will we be waiting for Bill & Ted 3? At this point, if you told us it would be another 25 years, we would probably believe you.
Keanu Reeves was promoting John Wick: Chapter 2 on The Graham Norton Show, and the subject inevitably turned to sequels, specifically that long delayed Bill & Ted 3. While Reeves didn't make it necessarily sound like they were any closer to production, he sure did get into specifics regarding what this one is about.
He does refer to it in the present tense, too. "The writers had a story," Reeves said, "and we're trying to make it." As suspected, there's a hint of midlife crisis about whatever is going on with "Bill and Ted in their fifties."

“Bill & Ted” have had an excellent adventure — or two — but can they navigate a world lived by two Jesuit priests spreading Catholicism in 17th century Japan? There’s only one way to find out. The crazy creatives at Funny or Die mashed the 1989 sci-fi screwball comedy “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” starring Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves with Martin Scorsese’s critically acclaimed 2016 film “Silence,” starring Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver and Liam Neeson. The result is one zany escapade. Check it out in the video above.

Before “Wayne’s World,” “Dumb & Dumber” and “Dude, Where’s My Car?” there was “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” a sci-fi comedy about two seemingly dumb teens who struggle to prepare a historical presentation with the help of a time machine.
Now, the 1989 film starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter is getting the long-overdue Honest treatment.

“Do you know the difference between looking at someone and staring at them?” Claire (Eve Harlow) asks the question rhetorically, because it’s obvious to her — and to us — that the guy who’s been gawking at her from the candy aisle of her convenience store doesn’t have the slightest clue. Chris (Jesse Camacho), it’s easy to extrapolate, is so used to being stared at that he’s likely forgotten how people prefer to be seen.
The trembling heart of Jesse Klein’s smart, sensitive and instantly engaging second feature (2010’s “Shadowboxing” was his first), Chris only wishes that he could be as invisible as he feels. Living with his mom in a dreary Montreal suburb, the unambiguously overweight twenty-something is hard not to notice but easy to ignore, and so many of his interactions turn sour that he would rather retreat into himself than try opening up.

After years of talk and work to develop a script for Bill & Ted 3, it looks like it’s actually getting close to production. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter have been very vocal about how excited they are for this movie, and in a recent interview with Forbes, Winter says it’s only a matter of time. He says:
“We’re working on the film every day at the moment in terms of the pre-prep-type work, so it’s an active project.”
He went on to say, “We have a script, we have a director, we have a studio — we’re just trying to nail down a start date.” He hopes to start production next year. In a separate report with The Sun inside sources are saying that the film reportedly takes place in the UK. They say:

Bill & Ted 3 Is Planning Another Excellent Adventure The good news for fans of the Bill & Ted movies is that, yes, a third installment actually looks like it's going to happen. Despite its vague up-in-the-airishness these past few years, Alex Winter (Bill) is now sounding a lot more confident, revealing the sequel could begin shooting as early as this fall. "It’s looking good," he tells Forbes. "This is Hollywood so I don’t believe it’s happening until it’s coming out on VOD but we’re all working on the film everyday at the moment in terms of the pre-prep type work so it’s an active project. Hopefully we’ll be shooting it shortly." The fact they're working on it every day is a great sign, and to...

They.ve made it through time, and they.ve gone through hell, but lately it has seemed like Bill S. Preston (Esquire) and Ted Theodore Logan have remained stuck in development hell. A third Bill & Ted movie has long been rumored, but we.ve heard very little regarding whether or not the project would ever materialize. As it turns out, not only will we get a third Bill & Ted movie, but that movie will reunite Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves after almost 25 years. During a recent interview with Forbes, Alex Winter explained that if Bill & Ted 3 does in fact get made, Keanu Reeves will almost certainly be involved.

It's one of those sequels that's been forever part of the internet's rumor mill. There've been small drips of updates over the years, and it's something that really looks like it will happen at one point. But, for now, Bill & Ted 3 is still in that "I'll believe it when I see it" zone for many fans. Actor Alex Winter feels that way, too.
"It’s looking good," Winter tells Forbes. But he also cautioned, "This is Hollywood so I don’t believe it’s happening until it’s coming out on VOD but we’re all working on the film everyday at the moment in terms of the pre-prep type work so it’s an active project." Winter has his fingers crossed, though. "Hopefully we’ll be shooting it shortly."

Strange things are not yet afoot at the Circle K, but they’re getting closer. The long-rumored third film in the Bill and Ted series is inching toward reality. According to Ted himself (Keanu Reeves), it sounds like it’s two steps forward and one step back when it comes to the time traveling slackers. “We’re closer and we’re not closer,” Reeves told IGN about the movie. “We’re trying to get the story right. We’re working with this studio so we have a little bit of support, in a sense of like if the material comes through we’ll try and make this picture.” The idea of Bill & Ted 3 has been floating around for 15 years, perhaps longer. In October 2001, Ain’t it Cool News reported that, Alex Winter, who played William (Bill) S. Preston, “is trying to get a third and final Bill and Ted installment made to complete the series.

There's been talk of a Bill & Ted 3 movie being in development since 2010, and after all that time it doesn't seem like it's any closer to going into production. Over the years, both Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves have offered updates on the film. Sometimes it seems like things are progressing, while at other times there seems to be no movement at all.
IGN Had the opportunity to talk to Reeves recently and they pointed out that in 2014 the actor told them, “We’re closer, but we’re not closer.” Then in 2015 they asked him about the film again and he said, "We're closer, we're closer." Now he has reverted back to his first statement, "We’re closer and we’re not closer."

It would be somewhat easy to do a straightforward documentary on Frank Zappa: zoom in on some grainy B&W pictures of him as an R&B-loving teen; chart his rise from Sixties avant-rock bandleader to symphonic composer, from antiestablishment iconoclast to anticensorship activist; interview some of the dozens, if not hundreds, of musicians inspired by him; drop in a few nuggets of We're Only In It for the Money or 200 Motels–era concert footage. Of course, Zappa was never one to do anything the easy, or easily comprehensible,...

So, we finally got Dumb & Dumber 2, for instance, whilst a third Clerks, a second Mallrats, a new Sister Act and a Naked Gun reboot are being cooked up somewhere. Further belated sequels? Zoolander 2 finally arrives next year, and Anchorman 2 celebrates, quietly, its second birthday this Christmas.
It was only at the end of the 1990s that comedy sequels suddenly really took off. There were exceptions beforehand of course, but few things raise the eyebrows of Hollywood high brass than lots of cash. This, whilst the enormous box office takings of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me were in part down to an utterly inspired marketing campaign,...

The fall festival rush is upon us. Locarno is currently ramping up. Venice has released their line-up and Thom Powers and the Toronto International Film Festival team have dropped a bomb with a previously unannounced new feature from powerhouse docu-provocateur Michael Moore. It is truly a miracle that the production of a film such as Moore’s upcoming Where To Invade Next (see still above) managed to go completely undetected by the filmmaking community until it was literally announced to world premiere at one of the largest film festivals in the world. Programmed as a one of the key films in the Special Presentations section at Tiff, the film sees Moore telling “the Pentagon to ‘stand down’ — he will do the invading for America from now on.” Also announced to premiere at Tiff was Avi Lewis’ This Changes Everything, which has slowly been rising up this list, as well as...

Some actors have a fear of being typecast. Locked into a role they played that seems to have defined them forever. Luckily for Alex Winter, forever being Bill S. Preston Esq. of the Bill & Ted movies isn.t a problem for him. He.s actually really looking forward to having a chance to play the role again. He says the fact that it.s been more than 25 years since the first film is what.s going to make the third film great. Speaking with The Next Web, Winter says that although he is older, Bill is not, and that.s the joke: It.s exciting to come back to the characters. The fun thing about them is that they.re ageless. You play them in terms of who they are spiritually. Their mannerism and physicality are not tied to age. We played them like 9-year-old kids. They still have that...

The 21st century is a foreign country. If you had asked someone in 1989 what the charming fantasy adventure The Princess Bride, and slacker time travel history lesson, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure had in common, you would likely have gotten a decidedly different answer than the following: A documentary on the David vs. Goliath legal battle over the nature of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by radical crypto-libertarians running a black-market whose goal to free commerce from big government resulted in one of the largest illegal drug bazaars the world has ever seen. This is the stuff of a Neil Stephenson science fiction novel (title suggestion: "Cypherpunk"). Here is where we are.Director Alex Winter, once the actor who played Bill S. Preston (Esquire), has been...

While we wait to see if we actually get another Bill & Ted sequel, I thought I’d put together of list of Fun Facts for the movie that started it all: Bill & Ted’s Excelent Adventure. This was such a ridiculous yet extremely enjoyable movie. It starred Alex Winter and George Carlin and launched the career of Keanu Reeves. I really hope that we get to see Bill & Ted 3. It would be so fun to revisit these characters after all these years. I tried to show the movie to my kids a few months ago, and they just didn't bite. I guess you just had to be growing up in the 1980s to fully appreciate its excellence.

As Twins sequel Triplets gets delayed, here are other big name sequels struggling to get going - from Top Gun 2 to Die Hard 6...
We started this website back in 2007, and since then, the names of some sequels seem to come up with reasonable regularity, albeit with no sign of the film itself. And in the time we've been going, yet more names have added themselves to the list of follow-ups that are seemingly stuck in development hell.
With the new Ghostbusters film set to escape and become a real thing in the next year or two, here's just a sample of the other projects struggling to get off the ground (with one or two edging closer to a greenlight than others...)
Triplets
What is it?
The long-belated sequel to Arnold Schwarzenegger-Danny DeVito comedy Twins, with the wheeze this time being Eddie Murphy reportedly joining the cast as...
