Robert Zemeckis is leaving Back to the Future in the past. The filmmaker has long insisted that there would never be a Back to the Future 4 or a Back to the Future reboot or remake of his 1985 time-traveling comedy starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. But now Zemeckis revealed he is open to reviving the franchise — by bringing Back to the Future: The Musical from the stage to the big screen.  

This thinking is similar to what Mel Brooks did with The Producers.  The Back To The Future Director and writer added that he “floated that out to the folks at Universal, but they don’t get it. Who are these Universal big shots? This is the Oscar winning director and writer who’s also given us Forest Gump, Castaway, Romancing The Stone, and Roger Rabbit 

No matter what happens, among John Hughes’ coming-of-age corkers and Spielberg’s blockbusters, Back to the Future stillsits at the heart of 1980s nostalgia.  Now let’s go Back To The Future with Marty and Doc! Back To The Future (1985) Theatrical Trailer – Michael J. Fox Movie HD
