BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC

DUO TO PLAY KEAUNU REEVES AND ALEX WINTER’S DAUGHTERS

LOS ANGELES, CA (June 5, 2019) – Hammerstone Studios announced that rising stars Brigette Lundy-Paine (“Atypical,” The Glass Castle) and Samara Weaving (The Babysitter, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) have been cast in BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC as Billie Logan (Lundy-Paine) and Thea Preston (Weaving), the daughters of the eponymous time traveling duo who join their fathers in their quest to save the universe.

They join alongside previously announced stars Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter and William Sadler in the third installment of the Bill & Ted series. Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest, Red 2, Fun with Dick and Jane) directs from a screenplay by returning franchise writers Chris Matheson (Imagine That, A Goofy Movie) and Ed Solomon (Men in Black, Now You See Me).

“When we saw Samara and Brigette together, it was like deja vu. It was exactly the way we felt when we first saw Keanu and Alex.  We are so thrilled to have this funny and unique pair join the Bill and Ted team!” said producer Scott Kroopf.
