New “Bill & Ted” Will Have A Time Limit

It appears as though the upcoming “Bill & Ted Face the Music” might have something of a real-time (relatively speaking) element to it according to the long-awaited film’s director Dean Parisot.

In this follow-up to the previous two iconic comedies, Bill S. Preston (Winter) and Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan (Reeves) are now fathers and have yet to fulfil their rock ‘n’ roll destinies. Their lives change when they are visited by a messenger from the future who warns them that only their song can save life as we know it.

Currently in the post-production phase, Parisot took some time out to talk with Empire Online and revealed that this new assignment the pair are given has a time component – a rather short one in fact:

“We’ve gone from a homework assignment to saving all space and time. We bypassed all those possible traumas in the middle. They have an hour and 18 minutes. So they’re in trouble. And let’s say that they have to travel all over the place to try and figure it out.”

Samara Weaving and Brigette Lundy-Paine co-star in the film as the pair’s daughters who are also into music (but more modern beats), William Sadler is set to reprise his role as Death, and Anthony Carrigan, Jillian Bell, Kristen Schall, Holland Taylor, Kid Cudi, Erinn Hayes, Jayma Mays, and Beck Bennet co-star.

“Bill & Ted Face the Music” is slated to open in cinemas on August 21st.
