The first official teaser for Bill and Ted Face the Music has been released, and “teaser” it is. The image doesn’t actually show anything from the film, just a neon sign that says “69, dudes” and then gives way to “9 months,” starting the official countdown to the film, which will be in theaters in August. The phrase “69, dudes,” obviously, is from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, and came up when the “main” Bill and Ted asked a time-displaced Bill and Ted from later in the movie to “guess what number we’re thinking of.” That scene has become a fairly popular meme from the film.
The first film centers on Bill S. Preston, Esq., and Ted “Theodore” Logan, a couple of teenage slackers who, unbeknownst to them, will one day write a song that changes the world and makes it a peaceful utopia. In Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey, the two are murdered by evil robot versions of themselves from the future, and have to fight their way back to life by challenging the Grim Reaper in a series of contests.
