Bill & Ted Face the Music gets new trailer, September VOD/theatrical release

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

The ongoing pandemic has caused a shift in the release plans for BILL AND TED FACE THE MUSIC, the long-awaited sequel to BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE and BILL AND TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY. Originally scheduled to reach theatres on August 21st, the film was moved to two different August dates, and now Orion Pictures has announced that it is getting a theatrical and VOD release on September 1st.

Along with the announcement of the new release plan comes the arrival of a new trailer, which is embedded above, and a new poster, which can be seen below.

Directed by Dean Parisot from a screenplay by franchise writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC stars Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves, and has the following synopsis: 

When we last met Bill and Ted they were time-traveling teenagers trying to pass history class and win the battle of the bands. Once prophesized to save the universe with their rock and roll, middle age and the responsibilities of family have caught up with these two best friends who have not yet fulfilled their destiny. They’ve written thousands of tunes, but they have yet to write a good one, much less the greatest song ever written. With the fabric of time and space tearing around them, a visitor from the future warns our heroes that only their song can save life as we know it. Out of luck and fresh out of inspiration, Bill and Ted set out on a time travel adventure to seek the song that will set their world right and bring harmony in the universe as we know it. Together with the aid of their daughters, a new crop of historical figures, and some sympathetic music legends, Bill and Ted find much, much more than just a song. 

Samara Weaving, Brigette Lundy-Paine, William Sadler, Scott "Kid Cudi" Mescudi, Kristen Schaal, Anthony Carrigan, Erinn Hayes, Jayma Mays, Jillian Bell, Holland Taylor, Beck Bennett, Hal Landon Jr., and Amy Stoch are also in the cast.

Scott Kroopf, Alex Lebovici, and Steve Ponce produced the film, with Steven Soderbergh, R. Scott Reid, John Ryan Jr., and John Santilli serving as executive producers.

I really want to see BILL AND TED FACE THE MUSIC, but I don't think I'll be going to any theatres as soon as September, so I'm glad it's going to VOD on the same date.
