Ten days ahead of its release, Orion Pictures has unleashed a new clip from Bill & Ted Face the Music. The long-awaited third chapter in the series finds Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter back in the titular roles. Only this time, they’re a couple of middle-aged fathers still trying to write a song that will change the world.
But when a visitor from the future warns them that only their song can save mankind, they must bust out the guitar picks and rock on! Along the way, they’ll get help from their daughters, meet a new batch of historical figures and maybe even some iconic musical legends to help bring peace and harmony back to the planet.
The clip in question runs for less than 90 seconds, but it features a connection to the previous films. Kristen Schaal arrives as a visitor from the future named Kelly who just so happens to be the daughter of Rufus, played by the late George Carlin in the first two movies. Carlin passed away in 2008 and so to help fill the void, the filmmakers went with Schaal, who’s a reliable comedic actor.
The footage also features more of Bill and Ted’s daughters, who are a spitting image of their dads both in mannerisms and loyalty. Hopefully, the father/daughter relationships will be a focal point of the story in terms of sharing a love of music.
Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) is behind the camera here and original writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon are back to pen the script. The supporting cast, meanwhile, includes Kid Cudi, Anthony Carrigan, Jillian Bell, Beck Bennett and William Sadler, who’s reprising his role as Death from the previous movies.
Bill & Ted Face the Music is set for release on demand and in theaters on August 28th.
There are few cultural phenomenons as big as Star Wars. The franchise debuted in 1977 and has spanned nearly half a century with its nine mainline films and two spinoffs, animated and live-action television shows, various video games, popular comics and novels, and more collectibles than could likely be counted. And as one of pop culture’s most beloved properties, it’s been no stranger to fan-created content like fan-fiction, original art, cosplaying and so much more.
Now, deepfake creator Shamook has shared his newest YouTube creation, and it’s a real doozy that’s certain to excite fans. The new video showcases multiple scenes from 2018’s Han Solo prequel film Solo: A Star Wars Story, but through the power of deepfakes, it replaces Alden Ehrenreich with the lovable smuggler’s original actor, Harrison Ford.
Most surprising is just how well this one works in comparison to some deepfakes, which often look very strange in action. While Shamook’s Solo video certainly isn’t perfectly convincing in every frame, it’s significantly more realistic than we’ve come to expect, and it just feels right to see Ford reprising his classic role in the film.
Solo tells the story of the titular character’s first big heist, which he aims to pull off with a band of galactic smugglers and his new Wookie friend Chewbacca. It features the aforementioned Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, Emilia Clarke as his best friend Qi’ra, Woody Harrelson as his mentor Beckett and Donald Glover as the young and charismatic Lando Calrissian. And though it underperformed at the box office, it still offers a huge dose of nostalgia with tons of fan service and callbacks to the Original Trilogy.
If you haven’t had an opportunity to watch Solo: A Star Wars Story, you can catch it right now on Disney Plus.
