Bill & Ted Face the Music is an upcoming American science fiction comedy film directed by Dean Parisot and written by Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon. It is the third film in the Bill & Ted franchise and a sequel to Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (1991).
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter reprise their roles as the respective title characters and William Sadler reprises his role as the Grim Reaper. It is slated for release on August 21, 2020. While the script for this film had been laid out as early as 2010, there were difficulties finding a movie distributor to back production. By May 2018, a distribution deal had been secured and the film entered pre-production, with filming officially commencing on July 1, 2019.
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. Along the way, they will be helped by their daughters, a new batch of historical figures, and a few music legends — to seek the song that will set their world right and bring harmony in the universe.
