The ‘Siberia’ star’s update on the status of a much-wanted film may not be what fans want to hear.
As Ted “Theodore” Logan, he was one half of the iconic duo along with Alex Winter, as Bill S. Preston Esq.
They played two San Dimas, California, dimwits who just want to rock out with their band, Wyld Stallyns, but somehow wind up becoming time-traveling adventurers.
So, of course, people have been clamoring for a third flick in the franchise for the last 27 years.
They once again journey into the past, this time with help from “their daughters, a raft of historical figures, and some musical legends.”
Has any progress been made since this announcement?
“I don’t know if it’s a reality,” Reeves said in a new interview with Yahoo! Entertainment published on Friday, July 13.
“We’ve been trying for a long time to get that film made, and it still has its challenges.”
The 53-year-old revealed that “business stuff” is standing in the way and not anything on the creative side.
I said I’m sorry I’m just not comfortable posing doing air guitar. Or standing in front of a phone booth. And certainly I’m not jumping in the air. 20 minutes later: pic.twitter.com/Tahl7mUmAE

“I really love the characters, and I think we have a good story to tell,” he said.
Reeves admitted that he hasn’t yet figured out how he would portray an older version of Ted, though.
“There’d be a lot about him that would be the same, I’m sure — his kind of optimistic naïveté in the face of darkness will still be there,” he speculates.
