“Back to the Future” fans and Universal Pictures have been asking for a new time-traveling chapter for nearly 35 years, but it ain’t happenin’ … like, EVER, the franchise co-creator and writer tells TMZ.
Bob Gale tells TMZ … ‘BTTF’ fans and Universal Pictures can stop wondering — and definitely stop asking — ’cause there will NEVER be a fourth film. And just as important, there will NEVER be a reboot or a spinoff.
We caught up with writer and franchise co-creator after director Robert Zemeckis recently said he dug the idea of turning “Back to the Future: The Musical” into a film, much the same way “Hamilton” was done.
Well, BG says forget that too … fans can go to the theater for the show and stream the other 3 films starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd to their hearts’ content, because the DeLorean is officially parked — for good. “I don’t think I can be any more clear,” Bob said for the cheap seats.
As you might recall … the first ‘BTTF’ film released in ’85, was a massive hit, and spawned 2 equally successful sequels — along with games, toys, a cartoon series and most recently, the musical.
Bottom line … fans can go back and love all the ‘BTTF’ content already made … ’cause another story ain’t got a future.
