Grainy audition tapes from 1986 - never been seen before by the public - show Keanu Reeves joking and roughhousing with Alex Winter. Winter would eventually be cast as his costar, Bill S. Preston Esq and Reeves would play Ted Theodore Logan. 'Keanu, from the beginning it was clear that this guy was head and shoulders above the rest,' a source who was on the set told DailyMail.com. 'Alex and Keanu kind of picked each other, they found each other in the big waiting room on day one and they started hanging out together,' they said. The metalhead slacker friends have now reunited for the third installment of the time-travel comedy franchise in Bill & Ted Face the Music. The latest film will hit theaters and streaming platforms on September 1.

The writers weren't involved in casting and had arrived in Arizona for filming and were stressing about the possibility casting got it wrong. They were in line at McDonald's and saw two people goofing off and said "Now, *those* guys should be Bill and Ted!" As it turns out, it was Alex and Keanu, who had already been cast and were also in Arizona for filming.
