Sorry about that title…couldn’t resist.

Since then, we’ve heard very little on the project…until now.
Read on for what both Bill (Winter) & Ted (Reeves) are saying now about how Bill & Ted 3 is shaping up.

After an impressive breakout performance in last year’s indie darling Martha Marcy May Marlene, Olsen has a slate of upcoming films ready to hit theaters in 2012, starting with this weekend’s “single-shot” horror/thriller, Silent House.
The newbie starlet isn’t waiting on fame to just come, however; she’s already gearing up for a big 2013, including a starring role in Spike Lee’s Old Boy re-interpretation, which she is sworn not discuss in detail yet.
