Reeves: Bill And Ted 3 will be fun

Keanu Reeves is looking forward to another Bill and Ted film

Keanu Reeves reckons Bill and Ted's third adventure could be the funniest yet.
The Henry's Crime star plans to reprise his role as metalhead slacker Ted, with Alex Winter as his sidekick Bill as they try to save the world for a third outing.
"It would just be us older guys playing the characters - we'd be older and it would be funny; they're supposed to save the world and they're turning 50," he said.
Keanu has spoken to his British co-star Alex, 45, and writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon.
"You know, I've spoken and had some meetings with the writers and Alex. I don't really know any details of the plot - I know there's a lot of time-travelling," he added.
"Chris and Ed, the writers, are doing a draft on spec. They're taking it into their own hands and writing a script. I haven't seen it yet."
The 46-year-old is currently in London, preparing for his latest film 47 Ronin.
"47 Ronin is the reason why I'm in London right now. We're in training and we start filming in March. Training and the sword-fighting is going fine," he added.
:: Henry's Crime is in cinemas now.

Henry’s Crime Posters




Henry’s Crime Poster
Posted by Allan Ford 7 January, 2011
The first poster for Henry’s Crime has been released. The independent film, which is being billed as a comedy, starring Keanu Reeves, Oscar nominees James Caan, Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air), Danny Hoch, Fisher Stevens, Peter Stormare, Danny Hoch, and Bill Duke.

Reeves plays a dude named Henry who gets sent to the big house for robbing a bank, a crime for which he is actually innocent. While in the clink, he meets an actual criminal (Caan) and comes up with an almost brilliant plan: since he’s already done the time for robbing the bank, he might as well actually rob it, because, really, who would expect that?

Things get complicated, though, when he gets run over by Farmiga and ends up falling in love while simultaneously taking acting lessons that require him to don a giant fake Lenin-style beard, and…
The film is directed by Malcolm Venville who previously directed 44 Inch Chest,

Henry’s Crime, which was premiered at 2010 Toronto International Film Festival last September, does not carry a release date.

Keanu Reeves has admitted to being too nice at times.
The Matrix star plays Henry in his latest film Henry's Crime, who is described as "the nicest guy", which he found easy to relate to.
"He sometimes didn't know how to say no, and I might have been guilty of that - there's lots of examples in my youth. Sometimes you go along and you don't fight for yourself," he said.
"When I work on a role, there's the script and there's me. They kind of come together and they create a different entity," he added.
In Henry's Crime, which Keanu also co-produced, his alter-ego Henry lacks ambitions, drive and purpose until he becomes an unwitting participant in an unsuccessful bank heist and is sent to prison.
"I think I related to him, this man who wants something different, who wants to change his life but doesn't know how. Henry is a funny guy with a good heart, it goes without saying, but I also like his bravery, how he follows his convictions to move forward. I found that, in an odd way, heroic," Keanu said.
:: Henry's Crime is in cinemas from January 14.
