It only took 20 years, but the stars are finally aligning for a third Bill & Ted movie! Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) has signed on to direct the lovable time travelers as they set out to save the world with the power of song. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are committed to the project, and the plot will include some time travel and a visit by the Grim Reaper.

Bill and Ted stars Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves recently confirmed that the script for Bill and Ted 3 is done, and they both think it's very good.

The Wyld Stallyns are still awaiting the green light for their threequel, but Winter has revealed some more details about the movie's plot in an interview with MTV.

"The movies were always about rock'n'roll." he said, "That was a big part of the movies, so [we'll explore] what's happened to rock'n'roll in the last 20 years."

Bill and Ted's band saved the world at the end of Bogus Journey, but times have apparently changed in the third installment.

"The movie's gonna get in and play with some of that stuff. Where's rock, where are we, what's happened to the whole idea of saving the world, or what hasn't happened?" Winter said.

When asked whether there's a possibility that the world has changed over the past 20 years, but Bill and Ted haven't, Winter said, "I don't want to give too much away, but that's a very possible scenario."

Although Bill and Ted 3 isn't a sure thing yet, Winter seems to like its chances.

"I think the reality is there will probably be another one," he said.

Last April, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter confirmed that the script for a third Bill and Ted movie was underway, and now it appears that the screenplay is finished and both of the movie's original stars find it most excellent.

In a recent interview with The Independent, Reeves said, "Yeah, we have a script. We're trying to put it together. It's a good script, too."

Winter concurred, tweeting, "Script done? Check. We love it? Check. Green light? Working on it!"

As for the plot, the most recent update came from an MTV interview with Reeves last year:

When we last got together, part of it was that Bill and Ted were supposed to have written the song that saved the world, and it hasn't happened. So they've now become kind of possessed by trying to do that. Then there's an element of time and they have to go back.

Hopefully, the Wyld Stallyns will be most triumphant in their attempts to get the threequel made.
