SYFY WIRE report that Ed Solomon attended the screening of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Journey at the Austin Film Festival on October 28, 2018. Afterwards he answered some questions from the crowd about Bill & Ted Face the Music. He said the following about the upcoming film.
“We wanted to get the story right, something we could all four get behind creatively. We did it in partnership with Alex and Keanu, in that they were there for the original brainstorming, then they read drafts and gave notes and have been involved at literally every step. That was more than 10 years ago that we started. We’ve done rewrites over the years, too.”
“We don’t want to do it as a cynical movie, we only want to do this if there’s a reason to tell the story. These characters mean too much to all of us. We have a script that we’re really proud of. We don’t have an official start date, but it should be pretty soon. [And] we do have a release date.”
