I'd read a rumor on a gossip site last week, but now MTV's movie blog is confirming: Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are working on a Bill & Ted 3! Said Winter: "The essence of what we've always wanted to do is to make a 'Bill & Ted' movie," he said. "We don't want to make a cynical 'here's Bill and Ted — you guys are our kids, now YOU guys go be Bill and Ted and the franchise can live for another 25 years!' It's not that. It's a straight up, what's the funniest and most surprising take on where Bill and Ted would be right now if we stopped back in on them? That's what we're doing."Here's why I kind of love this: Keanu Reeves is a huge big gajillionaire star. After The Matrix, he could totally retire. And really, he hasn't done tons since then. I love that he wants to do this with his old pal, just for the sheer hell of it. I think mid-life crisis Wyld Stallyns rule.
Though, I agree with Winters, it's not the same without George Carlin.
Be excellent to each other, dudes.
