Excellent! Here’s the first trailer for Bill & Ted Face the Music

BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC Official Trailer #1 (2020)

The Wyld Stallyns have returned, and they brought the first trailer for Bill & Ted Face the Music with them.

Orion Pictures released the highly anticipated preview of the third installment of the Bill & Ted franchise Tuesday.

Bill & Ted Face The Music will hit theaters almost 30 years after the last film, 1991’s Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will reprise their roles as the franchise’s titular duo of hard-rocking best friends, Theodore “Ted” Logan and William “Bill” S. Preston, Esq., respectively.

Bill & Ted Face the Music finds the pair stuck in a creative rut decades after they were informed of their destiny: To write a song that will save not only the world, but the entire universe. As the trailer reveals, they eventually turn to time travel in order to steal the song from their future selves — only to discover that their future selves aren’t exactly what they were expecting.

Initially scheduled to premiere August 21, 2020, Bill & Ted Face the Music is still expected to debut this summer, but could receive a new release date depending on the status of theater openings around the world.

BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC Official Trailer #1 (2020)

For anyone following the decade-long saga of Bill & Ted Face the Music, it's understandable if the film's impending release this week -- both in theaters and via on-demand video -- feels a little surreal. Franchise co-stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter have been talking about a third installment of the comedy franchise for years, after all, and the on-again, off-again project spent much of that time mired in development limbo.
