The abundant use of nostalgia in modern media platforms is certainly nothing new to most audiences today, especially in the area of resurrecting famous franchises from the 1980s. YouTube just recently released their first episode of Cobra Kai, a series that serves as a sequel to the original 1980s Karate Kid films. However one such 1980s film series that has faced many obstacles in resurfacing has been the Bill & Ted series. The film’s original stars, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, have been fighting to get a Bill & Ted 3 off the ground, and now it looks like their hard work may have finally paid off.

As reported today on Entertainment Weekly, the long-awaited Bill & Ted 3 has finally been confirmed to be in the works. The new film is currently titled “Bill & Ted Face the Music” and will have Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter return once more as William S. Prescott Esq. and Ted “Theodore” Logan. The new film will see both characters now as middle-aged fathers who failed to create music that united the world in a utopian society of peace, as was foretold to them by the time-traveling Rufus (played by the late George Carlin) in the first film. The duo must create a song that will save the future, with the help of their daughters, as well as some historical figures and music legends.

The film is set to be directed by Galaxy Quest director Dean Parisot, with a script written by Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon that has been described by the pair as “A Christmas Carol with Bill and Ted.” The film does not have a set release date yet, but hopefully fans will not need a phone booth of their own to see it soon.
