Do you think they should have made another movie in the 90's?


I mean, after watching the third movie and the animated series, do you think they should have continued with a 4th in the beginning of the 1990's, perhaps even with a TV show? And featuring Mary Steenburgen and new actors to play Jules and Verne, perhaps even someone like Macaulay Culkin? Or the stories should never include them?

Do you think they should have tried to create stories similar to what we saw in the animated series or you are satisfied with the trilogy as it is? If a new movie or tv show were made at the time, what kind of periods and places you would like to see the characters visiting?

No more movies! No remake! No more anything, please!! No one else can be Marty except Michael J Fox and with his Parkinson's disease and his age he couldn't do it. Christopher Lloyd is a lot older too. They're just too old to reprise their roles and I wouldn't want anyone else to play them. Plus the movies wrapped up nicely at the end of the third one. Anymore more movies or even worse, a remake, would just be awful. Leave the trilogy alone!

There’s no scenario where a fourth film would be decent; Lloyd doesn’t star in movies any more and Fox can’t without revealing his parkinsons. I don’t think anyone has any interest seeing a back to the future movie without Doc and Marty. They’d also have to address the question why the future didn’t turn out the way it did in the films and if they did, it should affect the space time continuum (ie no flying cars would prevent Doc from being sent to 1885 in the first place, no hoverboards would possibly prevent Marty from saving his son in 2015 etc.)

Look at what is happening to the ghostbusters franchise, I’d prefer not to tempt fate with back to the future like that.


I like that there's sort of sequels which the viewer can consider canon or not; there's the animated series and video games to help imagine what happens next.

Producer Bob Gale has said on several occasions that as long as he's still breathing, there will be no Back To The Future reboot. I believe that Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis actually own the rights to the characters, which was a smart move.

Absolutely not. Star Wars and Indiana Jones have been milked to death. I'm glad Back To The Future was left alone. It remains a great trilogy.
