Alex Winter “Grateful” ‘Bill & Ted Face the Music’ Got Made!
Winter who also starred as one of the blood thirsting vampires in Lost Boys to a moment to relish that the third installment of ‘Bill & Ted Face the Music’ got made. Read on…
CelebNMovies247.com reports that Alex Winter has returned to his role as time-traveling musician Bill Preston for the new movie alongside Keanu Reeves reprise the part of Ted Logan.
Alex Winter, 55, admits that he is pleased that Bill & Ted Face The Music came to fruition after a decade of speculation.
Speaking on Variety’s ‘The Big Ticket’ podcast, Alex said:
It’s been a very challenging time to release a film… Hopefully, it will put a smile on people’s faces.’
If you recall, Alex reminds us that he and Keanu had ”never intended” to make a third movie, which comes 29 years after the release of ‘Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey’.
‘The Lost Boys’ star explained:
We never intended to make a third. We never felt this world particularly needed a third, but when we were pitched this idea by (co-writers) Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon some years ago, we really did love the idea. It really made us laugh, and it warmed our hearts.
He went on to clarify the state of mind Bill and Ted are always in, and no they’re NOT weed heads!
Winter says:
We’re not stoners, we’re not surfers. We really are very childlike, Bill and Ted. That seems to be, I think, why little kids still like the movies. When people come up to me on the street these days, a lot of times it’s with really little kids, and I love that. It’s not like that was intentional, but I think Keanu and I both always saw these kids as these characters, as having kind of a childlike view of the world or an innocent view, but not in a caricature-ish way, ideally.
With a few weeks left of summer and the fact that no other comedy has released, it makes sense that Alex would say that Bill & Ted is the funniest movie of summer.
