Reeves and Winter have been closely associated with each other since the original Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure 1989. The film became a surprise hit that launched a franchise. The first sequel, Bill and Ted’s Fake Journeypremiered to rave reviews in 1991.
Decades later, well after Reeves became a huge star thanks to films like Speed, The MatrixIt is John WickHe reunited with Winter for a second sequel in 2020. Bill and Ted Face the music. While the premise of the original films was that Bill (Winter) and Ted (Reeves) were dorky teenagers and wannabe rock stars, this latest sequel, about both of them now middle-aged and with daughters of their own, was a surprisingly touching and sweet comedy about growing up.
Their version of Godot will reportedly see Reeves playing Estragon and Winter as Vladimir, waiting for the title character, who never makes it to the stage.
Reeves and Winter Godot is expected on Broadway in the fall of 2025. Truly bold.
