Back to the Future became a revelation since its premiere in 1985. The public’s reaction was so positive that sequels were approved to complete this plot that, in principle, would only have one installment. The story has managed to stay in people’s taste for several generations and considering the current trend in Hollywood to exploit the nostalgia of the audience, many are still waiting for the green light to be given to a new project within this world. The most recent rumor is that an animated series is being prepared and now the official page of the film responds to this possibility.
Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale developed the story of Marty Mcfly, a young man who aspires high even though his family is a mess. His mother is practically an alcoholic and his father is unable to respond to his boss’s constant attacks, leaving few possibilities for the future of the protagonist who spends his free time playing his guitar, dating his girlfriend and working on experiments and creations. from Dr. Brown. Back to the Future showed us how this young man travels to the past, when his parents were his age and still hadn’t fallen in love. Although the rules of time travel indicate that you should not interfere with the actions of the past, Marty cannot avoid it and triggers a series of events that will change his life forever, although at times they put the very existence of Marty at risk. the.
The film has great humor and great performances, especially from Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd as the leads, and this format served the audience very well. Although the creators had no intention of continuing the story, and the open ending was more of a joke to viewers, the production company recognized the gold mine and approved two sequels. Back to the Future II and Back to the Future III managed to keep up, even when the latter installment was dedicated to Dr. Brown and not Marty. Since then, fans have heard different proposals to bring the franchise back.
Years ago the rumor spread that a remake of the trilogy was being developed and there was even talk of having a protagonist, either as a substitute for Marty or even as his daughter. Of course, these rumors have changed according to the trends in Hollywood, because over the years the supposed proposals have been altered to talk about a late sequel that would bring back the protagonists, and a soft-reboot that would introduce a new generation as it happened with Bill & Ted, saving the universe, saved the universe.
In 2015, the 30th anniversary of the premiere of Back to the Future was celebrated and although it was celebrated around the world with special editions and collector’s items, as well as the re-release of the trilogy in various theaters, no news was given about any film project. Recently, Giant Freakin Robot assured that the saga would become an animated series for Netflix and taking into account that a cartoon of the tapes had already been made in 1991 that was developed by the creators themselves, this rumor did not sound so crazy, in especially if it makes it easier for the original cast to return. However, the official account of the tape did not take long to deny the news in a definitive way:
For some, the news opened up many possibilities because they really want to see the protagonists back, but for others it is better to leave the trilogy alone as it is, especially since great titles have returned for new generations without success or with moderate success. It is true that the public wants to take advantage of their nostalgia, but it is also true that now they are more demanding and square, so any change to the canon would mark a disaster for the most closed fans.
Some time ago, Michael J. Fox himself said that if a new Back to the Future movie was made, it would be logical to have a female lead and that he supported that idea; however, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale have no plans for such a thing. In fact, the creators have no intention of making a remake or reboot of the saga and they have the rights to the story controlled until the death of both, so the producers cannot touch them no matter how much they want to exploit them. For them, the trilogy is fine like that and there is no need to develop more installments just to make millions of dollars.
