‘Bill And Ted Face The Music’ Has Started Shooting In New Orleans
After years of anticipation and development, we’re finally getting a sequel toBill and Ted’s Excellent AdventureandBill and Ted’s Bogus Journey.
Production onBill and Ted Face the Musicofficially started today in New Orleans.Keanu ReevesandAlex Winterare in the bayou to shoot the film, which has been decades in the making. Naturally, the first photo from the film’s set has made its way online. Check out our first look atBill and Ted Face the Musicbelow.
Alex Winter is ready to roll with a t-shirt that has “Wyld Stallyns” printed on the back. We’re not sure if that’s part of the wardrobe Winter will be wearing as Bill S. Preson Esq., or if that’s just what he wore to set on the first day of filming. After all, it’s probably not cool to wear a shirt with your own band’s name on it. But then again, Bill and Ted have always followed the beat of their own drummer.
ScreenwriterEd Solomonis also on hand for the first day of shooting, but he didn’t show much more than enthusiasm:
Thankfully, later in the day, he teased shooting a scene, and it looks like that’s Bill and Ted on the monitor:
Meanwhile,William Sadleralso appears to be on set for the first day of filming too, since he posted this:
