(this story was a great excuse to re-post our idea for Bill & Ted’s Excellent Inception)

So Keanu Reeves is back talking Bill & Ted’s sequels again.  We first heard about it (again, from Keanu) in March of last year when it was brought up as a joke. When Keanu responded by saying he was actually trying to get a sequel greenlit for real, it was hard to tell whether he was kidding (it’s Keanu Reeves, it’s always hard to tell which emotion he’s expressing).  He was talking about it again today, which means either that he’s actually trying to make it happen, or that he’s willing to tantalize the nerds with the possibility to get some ink for his new movie.

“I believe the writers are six weeks away from a draft,” Reeves told MTV News during an interview today to promote “Henry’s Crime,” his upcoming movie co-starring Vera Farmiga.

He speaks of course of original writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, who, after Bill & Ted, would go on to pen such classics as Imagine That, and Mr. Wrong, starring Bill Pullman and Ellen Degeneres. By the way, if history is any guide, we’re always six weeks or less from a finished script from them.

Then Reeves opened up considerably, revealing that the plot ties directly into the ending of “Bogus Journey,” when Bill and Ted’s Wyld Stallyns became the best band in the universe.
“When we last got together, part of it was that Bill and Ted were supposed to have written the song that saved the world, and it hasn’t happened,” he said. “So they’ve now become kind of possessed by trying to do that. Then there’s an element of time and they have to go back.” [via MTV News]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, the plot involves time travel?  How about a “SPOILER ALERT?”  Anyway, it doesn’t sound like there’s a studio involved yet, and I wouldn’t get your hopes up (hopes, expectations, whatever) until that happens. Either way, the important thing is that Alex Winter already has a real job and isn’t dead from drugs like Corey Haim or out killing joggers for their meat like DJ Jazzy Jeff, or Lights Camera Jackson.

On last week’s Frotcast, we were kicking around ideas, and one thing that came up was “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Inception.”  I don’t think we ever made it past the title stage, and frankly, I liked my idea for a Food Network show called “Cakes on a Plane” better (We gotta serve these motherf*cking cakes to the people on this motherf*ckin’ plane!).  Nonetheless, FilmDrunkard ColbyCornish took “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Inception” and ran with it, and it turned out better than I ever could’ve imagined.  It’s incredibly well done. Watching this, I actually think Inception could’ve been improved if Keanu Reeves had been there to say “WHOA,” as each new plot point was laid out.

I also would’ve enjoyed if it had ended on the shot of Cobb’s spinning totem, with Keanu saying, “All we are is dust in the wind, dude.” (*BRAAAAAAAAAAAAHM*)

The source of this story about a possible sequel to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (I think we can all agree to pretend Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey never existed, right?  Good.) is the above video, of MTV’s awkward Josh Horowitz asking Keanu Reeves, “Let’s greenlight the Bill & Ted sequel right now, let’s make it happen.”

To which Keanu says, “I’m trying, I’m trying.”  Then Josh asks him if he’s kidding, and he says he’s serious, but it’s hard to tell if he actually is, because one of the things dumb people like to do when they’re joking is keep saying “I’m serious” and smirking.  I know your game, Reeves. Now gimme back my nose, motherfu-ker.

Anyway, was he serious?  Or was he just trying to avoid looking like an asshole when someone brought up his most successful role like John Cusack did when someone brought up boomboxes?  Said Alex Winter through a mouthful of rubber tubing he was using to tie off an arm vein, “God I hope he was serious.”  Anyone want to guess what Alex Winter’s actual last steady role was?  If you said “King Mole Man” on “Saul of the Mole Men,” go to the head of the class.  I am not making that up.  You have to admit, “Saul” is a really good name for a mole man.

Ahh, these are fun.  First we had “Lord of the Flies meets Children of Men“.  Then there was “the Blade Runner of Monopoly movies,” and of course, who could forget a “cold-blooded Free Willy.”  Well today there’s a new bonehead comparison in town.

Warner Bros. is pressing “Control-Alt-Delete,” picking up the high-concept spec from writers Tim Kelleher and Danny Zuker. Bob Shaye and Dylan Sellers are producing through their Unique Features banner.

The concept is described as “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” meets “The Matrix.” Sarah Schechter and Jesse Ehrman are overseeing for the studio.

Uh… Wasn’t The Matrix already Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure meets The Matrix?  Isn’t pretty much every Keanu Reeves movie Bill and Ted meets something?  Hey, I have an idea for a movie.  It’s kind of like Keanu Reeves meets acting school.
