Bill and Ted 3 film in the works

When we spoke with Keanu Reeves at the Toronto International Film Festival last week, we learned a couple of things: one, Reeves does a killer Werner Herzog impression, and two, there's another "Bill & Ted" movie in the works!

Lest you think that Reeves was pulling our leg, we turned to the other half of the righteous duo, Alex Winter, for further confirmation. According to the actor and director, "Bill & Ted 3" is absolutely in development.

"We kicked around the idea over the years and had always thought if we could make something that was as kind of genuine in spirit as the originals and without falling prey to kind of retro cynicism or something that was unnecessary, it would be worth doing," Winter told MTV's Adam Rosenberg in an interview arranged, amusingly, via Twitter. "Now the cat's out of the bag, and the truth is that, yeah, we have finally hit upon an idea that we think is pretty great."

"We've been working on it for the past couple of years, honing that idea and getting it into shape," he continued. "[Screenwriters Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon] are working on it now. The bottom line is that we still all feel like we need to sit down and look at a script and see if it's everything that it can be before we set about doing anything with it."

Winter wasn't able to divulge much about what "Bill & Ted 3" will focus on, though he emphasized that the movie won't be "cynical."

"The essence of what we've always wanted to do is to make a 'Bill & Ted' movie," he said. "We don't want to make a cynical 'here's Bill and Ted — you guys are our kids, now YOU guys go be Bill and Ted and the franchise can live for another 25 years!' It's not that. It's a straight up, what's the funniest and most surprising take on where Bill and Ted would be right now if we stopped back in on them? That's what we're doing."

It won't be the same without George Carlin in it.

The third installation of Bill and Ted was supposed to come out in the early 90's, but funding for it fell through. I don't exactly remember what happened then, but I think a studio picked up the script and it became the masterpiece known as... BIODOME!

I'm not going to see this new movie, even though I loved the first one.

Seems like we went from retro fashion to retro jerseys to retro car styles and now we have... retro movies. It's official. They've run out of ideas.

No surprise this "franchise" couldn't be killed:

I was a pretty massive fan of Bill & Ted as a kid. I'll be seeing this new one no matter what, but I hope they're able to preserve the indomitable good-natured spirit of the duo (******* that sounds pretentious).

I picked up the two pack of these movies about a year ago. They're still funny. In fact, I'd say that Bogus Journey is funnier.

I read somehwere that like 96% of all films of this decade have been sequels, prequels, or based on a book, comic, or older movies. It's depressing really.
