Rejoice! We have been gifted with a newBill & Ted Face the Musictrailer along with the news that the film will be released both theatrically and on demand. Indeed, after originally being set for release in August, Orion Pictures announced today that the film will be released both in theaters and on demand on September 1st — meaning it’ll be opening in whatever theaters are open at that time, but will also be made available to watch from the comfort and safety of your living room.
It’s been more than 30 years since we were introduced to best friends in rock, Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) in 1989’sBill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Then, in 1991, we rejoined Bill and Ted inBill & Ted’s Bogus Journeyfor another rollicking adventure through time and space. But what have San Dimas, California’s most excellent locals been up to in the last 30-ish years?
Luckily, the newestBill & Ted Face the Musictrailer is here to answer that. Among the numerous fun reveals in the new trailer, we see Bill and Ted have settled down into suburban dad life. They’re now married to their princess girlfriends Joanna (Jayma Mays) and Elizabeth (Erinn Hayes) fromExcellent Adventure.And — get this — they’re dads!Brigette Lundy-Paine(Atypical) is Billie, Ted’s kid, andSamara Weaving(Ready or Not) is Thea, Bill’s kid. On top of this, we also get a tease of their next great adventure: They must steal the song which will change the world fromthemselves.
This trailer looks pretty excellent. We see Bill and Ted traveling to the future incrementally to steal their own song, but we also see that their daughters end up time-traveling as well to help their dads. Indeed, instead of rounding up historical figures, Billie and Thea round up famous musicians to help write the song that will save the world.
