Preston Esq., Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are now confirmed to reprise their roles in a third Bill & Ted movie, I can reveal. Bloom is launching sales in Cannes on the long-gestating time-travel comedy, which is called\u00a0Bill & Ted Face The Music.\u00a0The movie is\u00a0likely to be one of the hottest properties at the market.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRelated\n\t\t\t\t\t\tZombie Christmas Musical 'Anna And The Apocalypse' To Ring In December\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\nCurrently in pre-production, the movie has been written by\u00a0the franchise\u2019s original creators\u00a0Chris Matheson (Imagine That) and Ed Solomon (Men in Black) with\u00a0Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) confirmed to direct.\u00a0Scott Kroopf (Limitless) will produce together with Alex Lebovici and Steve Ponce of Hammerstone Studios, with Steven Soderbergh serving as an executive producer alongside Scott Fischer, John Ryan Jr., and John Santilli.\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\n\t\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\n\t\t\t\t.\t\t\n\t\t\t\tBloom\n\t\t\n\t\n\n\n\nWhen we last picked up with the most audacious dudes they were\u00a0time-traveling teenagers trying to pass history class and win the battle of the bands. Once prophesized to save the universe with their rock and roll, according to the production the new movie will see the two best friends as middle-aged men with family responsibilities who have yet to fulfill their destiny. They\u2019ve written thousands of tunes, but they have yet to write a good one, much less the greatest song ever written. With the fabric of time and space tearing around them, a visitor from the future warns the duo that only their music can save life as we know it. Out of luck and inspiration, Bill and Ted set out on another time travel adventure \u2014 with the help of their daughters, a new crop of historical figures, and some sympathetic music legends \u2014 to seek the song that will set their world right and bring harmony in the universe as we know it.\nMGM owns the rights to the film and will release in the U.S. under their Orion Pictures banner while Bloom is handling international sales.\u00a0Endeavor Content negotiated the U.S. deal. The project has already piqued the interest of buyers in Cannes, we understand.\nWinter and Reeves said today, \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited to get the whole band back together again. Chris and Ed wrote an amazing script, and with Dean at the helm we\u2019ve got a dream team!\u201d\nBill & Ted\u2019s Excellent Adventure and Bill & Ted\u2019s Bogus Journey became cultural landmarks for a certain generation \u2014 the nostalgia factor alone could be a big pull for some audiences \u2014 as well as lucrative comedies in their own right. The movie also comes at time when promising and scaled comedies are in short supply. Bloom\u2019s\u00a0Alex Walton said, \u201cFans of Bill and Ted have been waiting for Reeves and Winter to reunite since their last Bogus Journey in 1991. This is excellent!\u201d\nReeves is currently in production on the third installment of the John Wick franchise. Winter has more recently transitioned to writing and directing with credits including\u00a0Epix documentary Deep Web and VH1 documentary Downloaded. Next up he has Frank Zappa doc\u00a0Zappa.\nIn Cannes, Bloom is also selling Julius Onah\u2019s Luce starring Naomi Watts, Octavia Spencer, Tim Roth and Kelvin Harrison Jr.; Yuval Adler\u2019s The Operative; Josh Trank\u2019s Fonzo starring Tom Hardy; David Sandberg\u2019s Kung Fury starring Michael Fassbender; Sam Levinson\u2019s Assassination Nation, and Matthew Heineman\u2019s A Private War starring Rosamund Pike.\n\nReeves is represented by WME and Ziffren Brittenham; Winter is represented by CAA, Forward Entertainment, Hollander Entertainment and Sloss Eckhouse LawCo; Parisot is represented by WME; and Hammerstone Studios is represented by Rosen Law Group.", "is_image": false, "scrape": false, "_url": null, "type": "article", "description": "\u2018Most Excellent!\u2019 27 years after we last saw the totally radical pairing of\u00a0Ted \u201cTheodore\u201d Logan and Bill S.
