Bill and Ted redux
The Hollywood remake machine rolls on, crushing pedestrians and vehicles beneath its massive treads and raping childhoods along the way. Next stop: Bill and Ted.
According to LATimes , a direct-to-DVD "re-imagining" of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is on the way.

MGM is developing a straight-to-DVD revisiting of the late-'80s cult classic "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" for producer Frank Mancuso Jr. at 360 Pictures. Although their deal is still being worked out, writers Gabe Grifoni and Suzanne Francis ("Wieners") have already turned in an outline for an updated take on San Dimas' most excellent native sons.

Part of the charm of the original is the language Bill & Ted use. That will be completely gone in this, since no one talks like that these days, which leaves you with just two unlikable morons.

I'm guessing with the impending writer's strike upcoming, we're going to be seeing A LOT of remakes in 2008.

Most heinous ............
Why does Hollywood insist on going where they shouldn't.
All they do is remake now.Doesn't ANYONE have any original ideas anymore?
So now only us will know of the great Bill and Ted while newer generations will see some fucked up copy cats that are nowhere near the originals.....lame!

If you us are thinking what we us are thinking right now then you us and we us agree this is most unspectacular.
...Unless the recast of Mitzi is hella-hot.

The movie just wasn't as much fun as "Excellent" and the change in tone really killed the fun of the movie. I like that they tried to do something different, but the characters don't really fit in well with what they were doing in "Bogus".
That and there really was no need for a sequel to be made.
