After literal decades of hypes, teases, and false starts,Bill & Ted Face the Musicwill start shooting on Monday, July 1, according to co-writerEd Solomon. “Monday. Crew call: 7:30. First shot: 9:00,” Solomon wrote onTwitter. Barring anyone from the past or future arriving to stop it, this is real, this is a thing that’s actually happening, and this is, to borrow a phrase from a couple of scholars, most excellent.

The film, directed byDean Parisot(Galaxy Quest) from a script by original creators Solomon andChris Matheson, will pick up with a Bill and Ted who have…definitely not brought peace to humankind yet.Samara Weaving(The Babysitter) andBrigette Lundy-Paine(Atypical) have joined the cast as the Wyld Stallions' daughters, Thea Preston and Billie Logan.
