In an interview with Brett White for MTV, Alex Winter was asked about Bill and Ted 3 today as he made the rounds at South by Southwest for his documentary Downloaded.
When asked about legal problems plaguing the film he said:
“…here’s no legal skirmish. There’s no nothing. There’s me, [co-star] Keanu [Reeves], [screenwriters] Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, the original core. We built a story. They wrote a script. We’re tinkering with the script to get it perfect. Then we will go get the money. Then we will shoot it. And that’s really all there is to it.”
When asked about the returning characters he said:
“We are not discounting where we come from. The thing that we’re working on is absolutely a ‘Bill & Ted’ movie. It’s not like some kind of weird reboot. It’s not, like, forgetting the past.”
