Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter announce Bill & Ted 3 for August 2020
Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves gathered outside the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA to send a special video to fans of Bill & Ted about the long in-development Bill & Ted 3.
After they introduced themselves as “Wyld Stallyns,” the two tag-teamed a message where they say thank you to the fans, because it looks like the long-awaited third installment, Bill & Ted Face the Music, will actually go into production this summer.
“It is all because of you guys, so we owe you a huge debt of gratitude,” said Winter, who ended the message with their rallying cry, “Be excellent to each other.”
Orion Pictures has set an August 21, 2020 release date for the film.
