William Sadler Says He’ll Return As Death In ‘Bill & Ted Face the Music’
Just yesterday, Bill & Ted franchise writer Ed Solomon tweeted out the exciting news that Death would be returning in the long-in-development Bill & Ted Face the Music. Demon Knight‘s William Sadler stole the show as the Grim Reaper in Peter Hewitt’s 1991 Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, losing to the duo in a series of challenges and eventually joining the band as their bassist. His scene-stealing “Reaper Rap” helped the duo win the Battle of the Bands and save the world from Chuck De Nomolos (Joss Ackland). While Solomon wrote Death into the screenplay, it did not guarantee a return from Sadler. Thankfully, the actor caught wind of the tweet and shared a response of his own:
Have scythe, will travel.

Assuming nobody stands in his way, it looks as if Sadler will be returning to the role inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal!
Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) is attached to direct Bill & Ted Face the Music, which will see Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves play middle-aged versions of Bill and Ted, who are now family men rather than young aspiring musicians.
After traveling through time, and going to both Heaven and Hell, Bill & Ted have yet to transport through dimensional time and space – something that could wrap up this heavy metal comedy franchise if it were to ever get the support it deserves.
The new trailer for epic survival thriller The Dog Stars warns to fear the survivors of the apocalypse.
Jacob Elordi (Frankenstein), Josh Brolin (Weapons), and Margaret Qualley (The Substance) try to maintain their humanity in the intense new trailer for Ridley Scott‘s survivor thriller, releasing in theaters on August 28, 2026.
The film is “set in a world where survival is instinct, but humanity is a choice. Scott tells the story of Hig, a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley, has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world until a mysterious radio transmission spurs Hig to venture into the unknown in search of the hope and humanity he still believes exists.”
Guy Pearce, Benedict Wong, and Allison Janney also star.
The film is based on Peter Heller’s bestselling novel and written by Mark L. Smith (Overlord, The Revenant) and produced by Ridley Scott, Michael Pruss, Mark L. Smith, and Cliff Roberts.
Check out the new trailer and poster below, which emphasize the thrills in the upcoming survival thriller. But it’s one that’s also filled with hope.
“I think people will be surprised and engaged, actually. I would say, hmm… charmed as well,” Scott says of the film. “Although, there is some violence.”
