A third entry in the Bill & Ted series has been in various stages of development for the better part of a decade. Now, the two dudes and their time traveling phone booth look closer than ever to returning.

While out promoting his documentary Who the F*@% is Frank Zappa? and concurrent Zappa archival project, actor Alex Winter revealed that a start date for Bill & Ted 3 could be imminent. “We’ve been working on it for, like six years,” Winter, who played Bill S. Preston in the original two films, told Forbes. “We’re knee-deep in the script, it’s been written by Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, who wrote the first two, they are fantastic writers, and the script is great. We have a script, we have a director, we have a studio – we’re just trying to nail down a start date.”
