Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson has written every Bill and Ted movie including the recently released Bill and Ted Face the Music with Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter. And today, Solomon revealed the flick almost sported a very different ending
Solomon tells The Collider Podcast: “We had a version that I really loved that did not last very long, it lasted for one draft. [They] had to get instruments to everyone in the world throughout all space and time in one evening, and they were like, ‘How are we gonna possibly do that? We have no way to do that!’ and they say, ‘Well we can’t, but there’s one man who can,’ and then we cut to, ‘Ho ho ho!’ and a sleigh, and it was Bill and Ted and the Princesses on Santa’s sleigh using Santa magic because Santa can go around the world in one night. They were actually going down chimneys and they were having a great time, and it was this crazy montage that we had written. That did not last. I thought because the antecedents to this movie were A Christmas Carol and It’s a Wonderful Life, so maybe it’s a Christmas movie and we have Santa at the end? I think Alex Winter liked it briefly, but I don’t think anyone else thought it was a good idea, then we ended up scrapping that.”
Too f*cking bad!
