Let's travel back in time to September 2010 and the Toronto Film Festival, when Keanu Reeves told us he was most certainly not joking about jump-starting a third "Bill and Ted" movie — 20 years after the last one hit theaters.



In fact, he said, original writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon were "going to try and see if they can write something." Flash-forward to the present day and a most excellent update on their progress, which Reeves kicked to us while promoting his indie comedy "Henry's Crime."

"I believe the writers are six weeks away from a draft," he said on Monday (April 4), adding with a laugh, "No pressure, guys!"

Back in September, Reeves dished nothing but wacky jokes about what the project might actually look like — a 3-D black-and-white sequel co-directed by Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Werner Herzog? — but this time around the 46-year-old actor gave us some meaty clues about the film's potential plot (albeit with a few caveats).

"I know a little bit. But I don't know — the fellas went off and cooked it up," he explained. "I don't know what happened when they put the elements together."

That said, Reeves went on to describe how the story arc might fit into the overall franchise mythology. "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," he added before trailing off.

So it seems that "Bill and Ted 3" (or whatever it ends up being called) will focus on the Wyld Stallyns's attempts to live up to the hype that Rufus (George Carlin) first revealed in the 1989 original. Perhaps they're running out of time. After all, Bill (Alex Winter) and Reeves' Ted will be approaching 50 in the third film, a prospect that had Reeves laughing, "That's pretty excellent!"

The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.
