Watch The New “Bill and Ted Face The Music” Trailer, Movie Gets Official Release Date


In a story Ghost Cult first reported on and continues to follow, Bill and Ted 3 aka Bill and Ted Face The Music will see the return of the pop culture and metal culture icons this year in their long in the works new movie from co-stars Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves. The film just dropped a new trailer in time for the virtual version of San Diego Comic-Con and now the film has a release date: September 1st in theaters (we hope) and On-Demand.

Sadly, George Carlin died in 2008 so he cannot reprise his crucial role of Rufus.
