Bill and Ted’s most excellent origins have been revealed by franchise creators Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon.
When looking back at the origins of Bill and Ted, Chris Matheson says the duo were initially conceived during improv sessions that he and Ed Solomon would have at an empty Hollywood theater they rented out for a mere $20.
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure was a hit and gave way to the sequel, 1991’s Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey.
This was before the history and time traveling elements of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure had been thrown into the mix.
