In a glorious time of remakes and reboots, it's good to know that strange things may always be afoot at the Circle-K.


The last time we got a Bill & Ted film was over two decades ago!

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey was released on July 19th, 1991.was released on July 19th, 1991.

They embarked on a most unprecedented expedition to hell and back...literally.

So naturally, after 27 and some change years, we guessed that this would be the end of the Bill & Ted saga. But today, we learned that is not true.

Excellent!

According to CNN, Hammerstone Studios will begin production this summer on a third Bill & Ted.

And of course, our favorite co-stars, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, will reprise their roles.

"It is all because of you guys, and so we owe you a huge debt of gratitude and we wanted to say thank you," Winter said.




The film will be called Bill & Ted Face the Music, and will shoot in New Orleans.

When asked for the plot, Ed Solomon (one of the writers) teased in an interview with Collider:

"Bill and Ted were told at 16 that they were going to be the greatest people who ever lived. That they were gonna write a song that is going to save the world, and it hasn't happened. And now they are middle-aged men. They've got wives who used to be princesses in medieval England who are now working double shifts at Denny's, they've got teenagers that are about to leave home, money is tight, and they've been chasing this dream, writing song after song, when somebody from the future shows up and says, "You have 24 hours. The fate of all of space/time depends on it – and if it doesn't happen now, it's never gonna happen." Bill and Ted are confused because they know they had to have written it, because after all the people in the future told them they did.. so they just must not have written it yet. So in their desperation they decide their only option is to go into the future – to when the have written it – and to steal it from themselves."








"What follows," continued Solomon, "is a kind of utterly absurd, Christmas Carol-like journey through their lives past, present, and future. Their daughters (Bill has a daughter named Thea, Ted's daughter is named Billie) are also very involved in trying to help them."

"It's a total comedy, but I think it's really, really grounded in the sweetness that is Bill and Ted and the emotion of where they would be at this point in their life."

The gap between the films at the proposed release date, August 21, 2020, would be roughly 29 years.








Dean Parisot, the director of Galaxy Quest, is on board to direct.

"Dean is the perfect person to direct this, not just because of his body of work but also who he is as a person," said Solomon, on their choice.

"He's really funny and really absurd, but he also has a really deep heart and a deep soul, and he's had a lot of personal loss in his life as well. So I think he can blend the underlying deeper emotional track and the surface ridiculousness of so many parts of the story that he is just literally exactly the right person."






So, in conclusion, be excellent to each other and party on, dudes.

See you at the third time out.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
