‘Bill & Ted 4’ is in the Works

Bill & Ted fans had to wait nearly three decades for the third installment of the film franchise. However, it appears they won't have to wait that long for a fourth film.

In a new interview with The Sarah O'Connell Show, Alex Winter (William "Bill" S. Preston, Esq.) said original Bill & Ted screenwriters Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon are currently working on a script for a fourth movie.

"There's a really good idea that the writers came up with for a fourth that's kind of obvious," said Winter. "I don't want to give it away -- I can't give it away because I would be drawn and quartered -- but it is a really good idea ... It will get written, and we'll see if we can actually get it made."

A timeline on Bill & Ted 4 is unknown. There was a 29-year gap between the release of Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and Bill & Ted Face the Music. On top of that, the first draft of the third Bill & Ted movie existed in 2011, according to an archived article from The Atlantic. The eventual release of Bill & Ted Face the Music went through many changes due to the then-ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. Orion Pictures finally did a dual release of the movie in theaters and via Premium VOD on August 28, 2020.

Bill & Ted Face the Music had a worldwide gross of $6.27 million, per Box Office Mojo. Unfortunately, its budget was about $25 million. Obviously, that's not a great ROI. Fortunately, the movie did significantly better thanks to Premium VOD. Deadline reported in September 2020 that the third Bill & Ted movie made about $32 million via Premium VOD, which charged $19.99 to stream the film.

Considering those numbers and the pandemic in the rearview, there's clearly a much brighter outlook for Bill & Ted 4.

Happy National Best Friends Day! While on the surface, this may seem like one of those "fake" holidays you often see, there's actually some history behind it.

According to Calendarr.com, U.S. Congress declared June 8 as National Best Friends Day back in 1935. Why June 8, though? That date was chosen due to it falling between spring and summer, so the weather would likely be nice enough to enjoy an outdoor activity with your BFF.

However, the holiday really took off thanks to social media. Various platforms provide a fun, easy way to share photos of your best friend along with hashtags like #NationalBestFriendsDay.

As with any holiday, a little celebrating is in order. Here are just some of our favorite best friends from film and TV. Enjoy!

If your friend’s dad threatened military school if you two flunked your history class, you’d travel through time to pull out all the stops to keep your friend at your school, too!  

Going to your ten-year high school reunion is kind of like time travel. For Romy and Michelle, it’s their way to stick it to the “A-Group” who bullied them for those formative four years.

Few friendships are as beloved as Cory and Shawn. Boy Meets World fans saw them grow up from middle school to college and all of the ups and downs that come with those years.

Evan and Seth are graduating from high school and are about to go their separate ways to college, but there’s nothing that brings two friends together than the hopes of potentially hooking up with their dream girls at the biggest party of their lives.

They don’t fit in and are too sardonic for Lawndale High or really any high school in existence. Thankfully, they have each other to lean on and viewers got to make fun of their fellow classmates with them.

Think of them like a super-rude, modern version of The Odd Couple. Their shenanigans throughout the entire “View Askewniverse” honestly deserve their own list.

Bound together thanks to rock and roll and an amazing cable access show, Wayne and Garth were “goals” decades before that phrase became a thing.

They should be too dumb to function, but Harry and Lloyd’s absurd stupidity leads them to equally absurd adventures. At the end of the day, they truly do care about each other. Also, Harry is right; you can't triple stamp a double stamp.

Desperately trying to satisfy the munchies, escaping Gitmo and finding a new Christmas tree. Is there nothing these two stoners can’t do?!
