Sequel Bits: ‘Bill & Ted Face The Music’, ‘Ghostbusters 2020’, ‘LEGO Jurassic World’ & More
In this edition of Sequel Bits:
A sneak peek atBill & Ted Face the Musiccame from a bittersweet but heartwarming update from theNew Jersey branch of the Make-A-Wish foundation. A 16-year old girl named Deborah who lovesBill & Ted’s Excellent Adventurewas invited to the set ofBill & Ted Face the Musicto meet her favorite actor, Keanu Reeves. The actor himself hand-picked the scene she was able to watch them film, and as you can see, it involves Bill & Ted throwing on some fancy garb. We hope Deborah had a wonderful time, and we’re also wondering exactly how many wardrobe changes the duo has in this movie.

Production onGhostbusters 2020continues up in Canada, and a little while ago, directorJason Reitmanposted this photo from the set, showing that a ghost flew right through a stop sign. That’s some green slime too, so could this be a tease of the return of Slimer? Is he still hanging out with one of the original Ghostbusters somewhere? Or is this the ectoplasm of another spook, specter or ghost?
This fall,Jurassic Worldgets an expansion in the form of a new animated LEGO miniseries. Nickelodeon is bringingLEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublarto television starting on September 14, and the first trailer just debuted.
The series takes place three years before the events of Jurassic World, following Owen Grady and Claire Dearing as they team up to launch the new theme park. Runaway dinosaurs, ongoing construction to expand the park, throngs of tourists, unpredictable tropical weather and an impulsive boss are all part of the theme park woes. But the bigger threat is a mysterious saboteur with surprising ties to the park’s past who is on a quest to find a legendary treasure and destroy Jurassic World forever. Yikes!
Finally, we have even more casting news for the comedy sequelComing 2 America.
