The screenwriter of Return to the future, Bob Galehas given a forceful opinion to the idea that one day there is a fourth film.
Speaking in the press room of the Saturn Awards on Sunday (February 2), after accepting an award on behalf of the 40th anniversary of the film, Gale addressed the idea of a new adventure for Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) and doc brown (Christopher Lloyd).
“People always ask us: ‘When are you going to make the future 4?’ , and we say: ‘to shit’ “he commented bluntly.
The original trilogy to return to the future premiered between 1985 and 1990and the films are still emblematic to this day. The story has continued in cartoons, video games and a musical, but new movies have not been released since the third installment.
Gale and the director of the film, Robert Zemeckisthey have the last word about whether a sequel or a new version can occur and they have vehemently opposed the idea for decades.
In 2020, BBC News asked Gale if the studies had ever asked him Zemeckis to make a fourth film. “All the time. All the time, ”he replied. “’What can we do to convince them to do this?’ We said: ‘Nothing’. ‘They will earn a lot of money.’ ‘We already earn a lot of money’ “.
He continued: “You know, you don’t sell your children to prostitution. It was incorrect. We put ‘The End’ at the end of the third. ” He also talked about the health of star Michael J. Fox, which is an obstacle to any possible sequel.
“Michael J. Fox is not in a position to make a movie and nobody wants to see Marty McFly with Parkinson’s disease”he explained. “No one wants to see another actor playing Marty McFly if it is supposed to be a continuation.”
What did Robert Zemeckis say about returning to future 4?
Director Zemeckis still agrees and told Fandomwire last September that he would probably only happen when he and Gale were no longer.
“That can’t happen until Bob and I are dead”said. “And then I am sure they will do it, unless there is a way that our heirs can stop it. I mean, for me, that is outrageous, especially because it is a good movie. It’s like saying: ‘Let’s make a new version of Citizen Kane, who will play Kane?’ What madness, what madness is that! Why would anyone do that?
