Production begins this summer with directer Dean Parisot at the helm. Original ‘Bill & Ted‘ writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon pen the script. The film hits theaters on August 21, 2020. Check out a brief synopsis here:

“Following 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and 1991’s Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, the stakes are higher than ever for William “Bill” S. Preston Esq.

“(Winter) and Theodore “Ted” Logan (Reeves). Yet to fulfill their rock and roll destiny, the now middle-aged best friends set out on a new adventure, when a visitor from the future warns them that only their song can save life as we know it and bring harmony to the universe.

“Along the way, they will be helped by their families, old friends and a few music legends.”
