I heard through the grapevine a while ago that there was going to be another Bill and Ted film, but I wasn't very sure that that rumour wasn't going to be more than just another rumour and come to nothing...well I have read a blog post from last year on MTV's website that Alex Winter who played Bill in the film has been playing around with the idea of bringing Bill and Ted back to our cinema screens...this to me sounds a most excellent idea! (sorry MTV but this is not a steal on what you have called this blog post it is just pure coincidence)
According to Winter, he's been playing around with an idea to bring Bill and Ted back '...over the years...' and that he wanted the idea for this film to be '...kind of genuine in spirit as the original without falling prey to retro cynicism...'
Also Winter said in this same Twitter interview last year that Chris Matherson and Ed Solomon (both screenwriters) have been working on this idea for the new film with him.
But as you can see by the details in this blog post of mine everything is still sketchy and up in the air as there is no script yet as Winter has explained that there still needs to be one in which all involved can sit down and look at one that they all agree on or as in his words '...is the best that it can be...'
So we'll have to see what happens but as I loved the first film when it came out I'll be crossing all my fingers and toes hoping this film and these rumours actually come to something and not straight into the bin or hit a stone wall.
