Keanu Reeves has recently been talking up the movie, with the actor saying that itmaintains the light-hearted appeal of the originals. “We’re still a pretty scrappy independent movie. It’s part of the charm!,” he said. “This movie is very much in the spirit of the other two films across the board. So there are Easter egg cameos, and there are other important musical figures that are prominent. I don’t want to give too much of it away but the spirit of it, all the way down to the soundtrack… it’s a Bill & Ted movie, straight up.”
