''Bill & Ted Face the Music'' is an upcoming SciFi comedy starring Creator/KeanuReeves and Creator/AlexWinter. It is the long-awaited third film in the Franchise/BillAndTed franchise, coming ''29'' years after ''Film/BillAndTedsBogusJourney''.

Bill S. Preston, Esq., and Ted "Theodore" Logan are now middle-aged rockers who are well-past their glory days. And despite decades passing since their adventures through time and death, they ''still'' haven't written the song that will unite the world. This long-gestating task takes on new urgency when a visitor from the future comes and tells them that need to write the song in the next 78 minutes.

To finally fulfill this task Bill & Ted travel through time and encounter old friends and new adventures.

Here's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE59OY4KGJg first official trailer]], dudes.
