BOGUS JOURNEY cost $20m in '91. That's not super-expensive, but not exactly cheap either. 

 

Then again, that was more of a high-concept story with (presumably) more VFX and sets and prosthetics than B&T3 (might) need.

 

Still seems like an obvious green-light to me unless the story is really weird. Even then, with nostalgia playing a big part in all these reboots/sequels, there's certainly a solid niche for it.

 

Then again, Hollywood is not exactly about logical choices.

 

I think a $30-35m, maybe $40m at a push would be realistic for Bill and Ted 3, visual effects have come a long way and you could do it relatively cheaply and I imagine Keanu would take a pay cut to make the budget work

Yes, agreed. Get most of that covered with foreign presales and you're basically out 10m + marketing. And sure, you don't wanna spend 60m to market it, but you could do a campaign along the lines of DON'T BREATHE or THE SHALLOWS.

I imagine whoever MGM would partner with to distribute would get the domestic and most of the OS rights, it does vary from film to film.

I think everyone's fave was JT Walsh. :lol: Dude was so epic in everything.

Loved Walsh. Another favorite was Brion James.  And they're still living but Michael Ironside and Ed O'Ross
