Back To The Future Reboot WILL NOT Be Made

Despite Hollywood being all about the remakes nowadays, one classic film will not be remade. Frank Marshall, the producer of the Back To The Future franchise, confirmed that the original is one of those untouchable classics. In an interview with Yahoo Movies, Marshall stated,

“As long as I have my say [it’s safe]. That one exists just like ET – we’re never touching those.”

Marshall’s feelings echo those of Bob Gale, who wrote the film with director Robert Zemeckis. He told Yahoo Movies in 2014 that he’d seen a number of sequels made to films released many years ago and he didn’t think he could “name one that’s any good, that lives up to the originals. I don’t think you can recapture it.”
