It would only work for me if it was:
Bill & Ted 3: Bill and Ted's Excellent Matrix
"Hi Trinity, uh... I mean Mom!"
"I'm Looking for Rufius!"
'I'm Neo-Bill, and I'm Neo-Ted and we are WYLD STALYNS!" *air guitar riff*
"Boys you are the chosen saviors of Tomorrow!"
"Let's take our telephone in the time machine and dial into the Matrix!" "Awesome!"
It's scary how many similarities those 2 movies have

I was OK with B&T, it was a eightys/ninetys movie that was campy and fun. B&T 2 was alright and fine since it was semi enjoyable as a popcorn flick. B&T 3 is HOW many years after the principle actors have moved on? NO just NO, even maybe a HELL no.

Don't forget Rocky Balboa and John Rambo. Both of those films were pretty damn awesome and lead to us getting the expendables franchise!
As for the Op's news? I'm actually looking forward to seeing Bill and Ted at this point in their life when their band is suppose to have lead to a utopian existance for humanity.

oh, yeah, I forgot about those.....So let me amend my statement, *most* movie sequels to movies from 15 or more years ago are terrible.

Often they're making the sequal with the thought of making a quick buck.
For Rambo and Rocky Balboa, you had Stallone (whether you thought the movies were good or not) actually putting care into his projects.

He put care into them I think because he realized those were his best projects and what he is and will br remembered most for. Thankfully Rocky was all his from start to finish, and Rambo was just..well it was pretty great seeing Rambo as more dark,gritty, and without the cheese. The last Rambo film is what we should have gotten after First Blood.

Agreed! Rambo felt more like a sequal to First Blood than Rambo 1 & 2.

I like Keanu Reeves a lot, but all this sequel & remake business is getting a bit frustrating. I feel like there are many interesting stories out there that could be told, and it's unnecessary to just regurgitate the same stuff over and over :-).
That being said, sequels can be done well, it just seems that they frequently, well, aren't. It surprises me that actors want to do sequels. I guess it's better to want to do one than to be contractually obligated, but not want to do one.

These kind of films remind me of reunion tours put on by bands 10+ years after they have broken up. I have always been a huge fan of the first B&T movie since it's so absurd, goofy, and good-natured. Wasn't as big of a fan of the sequel, though it had moments that were a lot of fun. While I don't expect much from this third movie, I'm curious to see how they'll portray B&T in their late 40s.

What? You got a better theory that explains both terrible remake after terrible remake and George Lucas?

I'd say a lot of sequals aren't done as well because they're usually made to bank of the first movies success, rather than be good. Though I think many are learning they can't get away with that easily.
Bourne series for instance, I'd say is about equal quality amongst all it's sequals. Mission Impossible (imo of course) has only gotten better with every sequal.
But then you get those sequals that arent being put out because of a great story, but because they think they can get some money out of it.
But I also wouldn't put all the blame on hollywood for it. Sometimes it is the directors/actors fault. The greatest script int he world can't be saved by directors who can't direct and actors who just aren't that good or just phone it in.

No Rufus.
Just wouldn't be the same.

Doesn't mean it would be a bad movie. But, we would be missing him
And since it's not a reboot, I don't think they should replace him either.

Ok, the Galaxy Quest guy on this might be worth a look at.
But... and hear me out... what if Joss Whedon were to, oh, I dunno, take over?
