<p dir="auto">few years ago I was 88% CERTAIN theyd do a part 4 for 2015 (as its such an important year in the BTTF mythos and all the actors are the correct age for 1985) with Marty Jnr (played by some young guy), with CLloyd, MJF (cameo), and a returning Crispin Glover, as well as Lea Thompson, Thomas F. Wilson, Elisabeth Shue, Mary Steenburgen, James Tolkan, Marc McClure, hell even Billy Zane! Directed by Zemekics again like Spielberg doing Indy 4  (not necessarily kicking off a new trilogy but there could be - maybe filmed back to back like LOTR or BTTF2/3). Itd be a return to the crazy alternate reality stuff of BTTF2 (which is very much in vogue now - Star Trek09, XM:DOFP, TGEN) involving Marty Jnr finding something the Doc left behind (maybe a prototype time machine he made before the Delorean - a fridge perhaps?) and accidently going back from 'our' non hoverboard 2015 (easily explained via alternate realities/timelines) to 1985 and interacting with Marty &amp; Co (like BTTF2 had Marty interacting with BTTF1 scenes. And like Part 1 showed 80s audiences the 50s, Part 4 would show todays audiences the 80s) and maybe a few other periods (1955 again, hoverboard 2015) screwing around with everything resulting in the trilogy being under threat of being 'erased' and all the cataclysmic consequences that would bring about. Therd be a CG 1985 Marty/MJF for a very brief cameo scene, but Martys parents, Biff, Doc etc were supposed to be 30 years older in the 1985 parts of BTTF1 so no need for make up now, and they could bring in a young lookalike actress for 85 Jennifer no problem as she's already been recast (and if they all appear in 2015 theyd have to be aged up of course like they were in BTTF2 - except MJF/Shue)<br />
now 2015 has been and gone and no Part 4 which is strange considering BTTF is more popular than ever (especially Part 2) and the anniversaries. And especially when everything is getting remade or sequels or prequels now (in the case of time travel stuff its all 3). BTTF is one of the few franchises untouched (despite it being one that would make more sense to continue than others). I guess maybe it could happen in 2020 as they'll need to create new instalments to maintain the franchise just like other 80s series like SW, Indy, Ghostbusters etc (although unlike GB, BTTF would have to be a continuation of the originals in some form as like Star Wars/Trek etc its too popular to simply 'throw out' the originals and remake)</p>

<p dir="auto">BTTF (2) getting lot of things right recently and is always getting tweeted about. Maybe they should do part 4</p>

<p dir="auto">sounds like a creepy realistic take on BTTF - like Primer, Predestination etc</p>

Movie idea: Another back to the future movie that is actually set in the year 2015 but the twist of the movie is that Doc and Marty actually arrive in 2015 but the town that they arrive in is a town sized theme park based on the movie, back to the future 2. (self.movies)<br />
<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/4taavr/movie_idea_another_back_to_the_future_movie_that/d5frlbh" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/4taavr/movie_idea_another_back_to_the_future_movie_that/d5frlbh</a><br />
The Back to the Future universe is one of the few good projects I would be okay with rebooting, and doing it on considerably different and darker terms. Here's my concept:<br />
We discover that the original BTTF films were drastically censored adaptations of a memoir discovered by Robert Zemeckis (this part of the story is similar to the concept of Wes Craven's New Nightmare, in bringing the filmmaker into the story). He wanted to show the stories in an upbeat way, but instead we are taken into the "true" story<br />
The "real" Marty, let's say "Marty McFadden" - a realistic-ish 1980s teenager who calls to mind iconic John Hughes characters rather than being light-heartedly whacky like Michael J. Fox, is indeed sent back to 1955, but it's a realistic 1955. People don't act goofy and aren't constantly reminding you what year it is.<br />
Anyway, he changes history, but instead of that ridiculous thing with the fading photo, it just means the future he returns to is different. Maybe his parents still got married, but the events were somewhat different, so they never had him - they had different kids, and don't know who he is.<br />
So he goes back in time to stop himself from causing the changes, but that just introduces more changes. And he goes through these increasingly desperate cycles of trying to restore a situation that is now completely gone. He is a stranger, alone in time, who has erased himself from history, and after countless back-and-forth cycles trying to rediscover his life he is middle-aged from living the same few years over and over.<br />
Finally, at some point in the '90s, he powers down the time machine, removes and destroys some critical components, and goes to a bar. He looks around and realizes with shock that everyone in the barand everyone on the street tooare his children or grandchildren from one cycle or another.<br />
He smiles and drinks his beer.</p>

<p dir="auto">No, no, no, and no The BTTF trilogy does not need any more sequels, prequels, remakes, or reboots.  Hollywood should leave it alone  FOREVER.  It is perfect as-is.<br />
People should be demanding that Hollywood come up with more original ideas instead of sh!tting the bed with countless horrible sequels/reboots that ruin a franchise.</p>
