“Cue confetti,” Toronto-raised Reeves said in a video conferencing interview with The Canadian Press, throwing his hands up in mock celebration of the film finally coming out. Now middle-aged and married with kids, Wyld Stallyns rockers Bill and Ted once again travel to the past and future, this time on a mission to save the universe with a song. Along the way, the sweet-natured slackers meet historical figures and various versions of themselves.
Winter said the past few months were “really stressful” trying to figure out how to get the film to audiences. Everyone involved “put a lot of effort to get the film out now, and to get it out safely so people had options for how they would see it,” he added.
