Keanu Reeves is starring in multiple upcoming films, including JOHN WICK, PASSENGERS, and possibly BILL & TED 3. He recently sat down with ComingSoon.net to talk about a BILL & TED sequel movie, which has yet to come to development stages.

"We have to get the script in the right place," Reeves said, "Chris and Ed have been working really hard over a couple of years to get the draft in the right place. What is the reason to make this movie besides nostalgia or the love of these characters. Where can they be in their life that can be a story that is worth telling or has something in it and is funny? They have that. It didn't help that the first script that they brought in was probably budgeted at $150 million dollars. I don't know if Bill & TED carry that much weight. Part of the argument is that it's not that popular internationally, that's where so much of the funding for movies comes from these days. They've worked on the script and the budget, just trying to get the right script and then get the business side wrapped up, financiers and rights, all the show business stuff."

Last year, BroadwayWorld reported that Reeves was open to the idea of a new BILL & TED film and even had a storyline in mind.
