If you are a Back To The Future fan, you may already know that Robert Zemeckis has not been pushing another sequel in the popular franchise.
However, recently Back To The Future won a poll topping other films people want to see more of. So, has Robert Zemeckis changed his mind about a fourth film? Here’s what he said:
I think what the poll is saying… they asked a specific question, so I guess they felt it was important to spend money to poll the world, and ask this question, but don’t you think we could all have just given them the same answer? It confirms what we all know, but what I think the fans are really saying is that we really like this movie and if it were possible I’d like more of it. But they understand that it can’t be done.
Yahoo caught up with Robert Zemeckis ahead of his new film Welcome to Marwenand asked the director whether or not he was still “adamantly against” another movie, to which he responded “Oh god yes.” He then extrapolated out about the poll in question, explaining what he thought fans meant when many said they would like to see another Back To The Future franchise film.
Even though the fans really did say they would be happy to see more from Doc Brown, Marty McFly and more, it’s unlikely to ever happen. We can’t just hang it all on Robert Zemeckis’ lack of want either. Previously, producer Frank Marshall has said he’s out on a reboot, noting,
Yeah [we won’t reboot Back To The Future], as long as I have my say. No, that one exists just like E.T. — we’re never touching those. I love watching it.
In addition, both Robert Zemeckis and writer Bob Gale wrote into their contractsthat they would have a say in any Back to the Future franchise movie made during their lifetimes. So, given their word on the matter I would count it out — even if a remake or sequel would be a success.
