There has been talk of a third Bill And Ted film for quite some time. A few weeks ago it was stated by Alex Winter that the script has been written, by the original writers no less, and is waiting on a green light. Winter intially made this proclamation at a screening of his cult classic film Freaked, but it didn’t really register.

Yesterday Winter actually re-affirmed the news via a twitter back and forth:

@kelly_carlin: is it true? Bill & Ted’s 3? > Hey Kelly. -Script done? Check. -We love it? Check. -Green light? Working on it!

That’s so totally awesome! Knowing that there is a completed script, written by the guys that did the originals, and loved by at least half of the original Wyld Stallyns is most excellent news indeed.

Part of what makes this story so fun, beyond the reaffirmation of a completed script, is that Kelly Carlin, to whom Winter was responding, is George Carlin’s daughter. There is an awesome symmetry to the impetus of this story comes from Rufus’ daughter herself.

Here’s hoping that the powers that be decide to put a little money down and give us a chance to take another wild ride with the saviors of humanity. San Dimas High School football Rules!

It’s no secret that we’re all pretty big fans of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World around the Flickcast offices. We proved that with our review of the film, handful of clips we presented, and disappointment we showed in it’s performance at the box office. Now we’re taking solace in other fans like us taking to the internets with creativity and ingenuity.

The running theme with fan films as of late has been a so-called trailer “mash-up” where the audio from one trailer overlays the visuals from another, making it into a cool new concoction of geek and hilarity. This, of course, shouldn’t be confused with the brand of “trailer mash-ups” that swept the web a few years ago which brought us some gems like Scary Poppins or the immortal Shining trailer. These new mash-ups are a bit less imaginative, and slightly more lazy, until now.

Enter YouTube user AEmovieguy, who has taken that style of mash-up to a new level by matching up the visuals to the audio and getting the actors to actually look like they’re speaking the lines. It doesn’t sound as impressive as it looks, but we assure you, it’s pretty amazing.

Check out what he did with a few minutes of footage from all three Matrix films and the audio from the Scott Pilgrim trailer after the jump. You won’t be disappointed.

Sometimes a video needs an explanation so you can better understand its significance or its substance. Other times, a video needs no introduction and can stand on its own. This video is one of those second ones. But I’m still gonna give it one anyway.

Containing what could arguably be called some of the cheesiest movie lines of all time, the video captures what’s best and worst about the movies we love and helps us remember, at least in some small way, why we love them.

Movies, like life, are often imperfect. But that doesn’t stop them from being a hell of a lot of fun most of the time.
