Matrix star Keanu Reeves is playing with the idea of reviving his old character from the cult movie Bill and Ted.

The actor played Californian teen Ted "Theodore" Logan in the science fiction adventures from 1989 and 1991. In the films he and co-star Alex Winter, aka Bill S. Preston, embarked on several time travelling adventures in a telephone booth.

Despite the commercial success of the first two films, plans for a third movie never went beyond pre-production.

In an interview with MTV News, Keanu confirmed he is back in touch with the original team, including co-star Winter and writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, saying: "They're going to try and see if they can write something.

"I'd love to play the role. I'd love to work with Alex and Chris and Ed again. We'll see what they do."

How a third movie would turn out is anybody's guess, afterall there is the age gap to consider. Reeves is now 46. When Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey was released in 1991 he was in his twenties.
