Promoting their new film Bill & Ted Face the Music overseas, Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves virtually sat down on BBC’s The One Show to chat with Alex Jones and Ronan Keating to talk all about the newest installment to the Bill and Ted franchise.
Jones asked the duo if they believed Excellent Adventure would be as successful as it was at the time, Winter tells the story about how the film had sat on the shelves, believing that the movie would never see the light of day.
'It sat on the shelf for a year.'
