MGM is making a new Bill & Ted movie without original stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, Moviehole.net reports.
The remake reportedly follows the plotline of 1991's Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey closely. After two slacking high school students discover a phone that lets them travel through time, they bring historical figures including Gandhi and Calamity Jane back to the present to help them make class presentations.
The duo's band Wyld Stallions, who later become huge rock stars, are now called Atomic Gorilla.
The original Bill & Ted films launched the career of Keanu Reeves, who recently admitted he would like to make a third film in the series.
Reeves said: "The most serious we ever got [making a sequel] was a few years ago. I had once mentioned about doing it when we were 40. Now maybe the only shot we have is to do it when we’re 50."
The Bill & Ted remake, written by Suzanne Francis and Gabe Grifoni, is expected to be released straight to DVD.
