New Comic-Con trailer for 'Bill and Ted Face The Music' reveals day and date digital release

A new trailer for Bill & Ted Face The Music has landed offering a new look at the returning time-travellers’ next big adventure.

It’s also been revealed that the film will be available on digital as well as in cinemas in North America when it lands there on 1 September. Watch the new trailer above.

The film is scheduled to come to UK cinemas on 28 August. It’s not yet clear whether UK audiences will be able to watch the film via PVOD at the same time. The UK Twitter account for the film does not include any messaging around release date or platforms.

Yahoo has contacted Warner Bros. for clarification.

Cinemas across North America remain largely closed due to a recent spike in coronavirus cases. This has caused many films to further delay their releases, with Christopher Nolan’s Tenet completely dropped from the North American release slate.

Warner Bros., the studio behind Tenet and the UK release of Bill & Ted 3, said Nolan’s film would not be receiving a traditional global rollout due to the pandemic.

“We are not treating Tenet like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that,” Warner Bros. chairman Toby Emmerich said.

The new Face The Music trailer gives us our best look at the film so far, revealing how Bill and Ted’s daughters Billie (Brigette Lundy-Paine) and Thea (Samara Weaving) factor in to the story.

After their fathers fail to write the song that will unite mankind, they set off into the past to recruit famous musicians to help.

They also feature on the film’s new poster below.

On Saturday, 25 July at 11pm UK time, cast Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, Samara Weaving, Brigette Lundy-Paine, William Sadler, director Dean Parisot alongside writers Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson will gather for a Comic-Con@Home panel moderated by filmmaker and fan Kevin Smith.

Directed by Dean Parisot with returning franchise writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon and starring Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, Bill & Ted Face The Music will continue to track the time-traveling exploits of William "Bill" S. Preston Esq. and Theodore "Ted" Logan.

Yet to fulfill their rock and roll destiny, the now middle aged best friends set out on a new adventure when a visitor from the future warns them that only their song can save life as we know it. Along the way, they will be helped by their daughters, a new batch of historical figures, and a few music legends — to seek the song that will set their world right and bring harmony in the universe.

The film also stars Samara Weaving, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Scott Mescudi (Kid Cudi), Kristen Schaal, Anthony Carrigan, Erinn Hayes, Jayma Mays, Jillian Bell, Holland Taylor, Beck Bennett, William Sadler, Hal Landon Jr. and Amy Stoch.

Bill and Ted Face the Music is directed by Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest), written by Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure) - and produced by Scott Kroopf, Alex Lebovici, and Steve Ponce.

Bill & Ted Face The Music lands in UK cinemas on 28 August.
