Back To The Future Part IV:The never made sequel!

[Shinzon2004]

Although the BTTF trilogy ended some years ago it has been speculated elsewhere that a BTTF IV was in the works...

What could BTTF IV be about?The DeLorean was destroyed in Part III,Doc built himself a new time machine based in a train....
He returned to the Old West with his new family and the time line was restored for good.Marty and Jennifer continued with their relationship.However,an animated series was made in the 1990s
in which related new adventures:Doc returned to 1985 with his family and built a new DeLorean....the new time travelers were Jules and Vern Brown with Marty....


I wonder if a Part IV could be made based upon the premise of the cartoon show?I wrote a story where Part III left off which I named "The Day After". Marty and Jennifer were in big trouble because of the wreck of the DeLorean,how could they explain the fact that a DeLorean emerged out of nowhere and was destroyed by a train????And worse of all the police confiscated certain parts,the 2015 license plate and the Flux capacitor...

Do you think that a Part IV might be possible some day?

SORRY ABOUT THE DOUBLE POSTS CAN THE MODERATORS ERASE 2 OF THEM?THANKS

Robert Zemicikis (spelling is wrong) and Bob Gale have confirmed countless times that they're not going back and doing another one. They had too much of a great time on the last ones and don't want to ruin the trilogy. They stated this information heavily on the new box set.

If they do a sequel, I'd prefer that it would be a spin-off of some kind. Maybe relate it to Doc or something. But I'm with Gale and Zemickis (sp).

The best thing to a sequel anyone is going to get is the BTTF: Ride at Universal Studios Orlando, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Japan.

I think the three movies are perfect the way they are. The only thing that I would stand for is maybe the changing of some of the times displayed for the future so that it still leaves it open to "Suspending Disbelief" since now we are past the time Marty traveled to which was much different than our actual reality.

Yes, and they could explain it using the excellent idea above. With the powers that be confiscating the future stuff from the DeLorean, they held back the release of these products for some reason or another. Doc, after living many years in the Old West returns to the future for some supplies or whatnot, and realises that society's development hasn't occured as fast as it should have done. So he looks up Marty and the two set out to put history right one more time...

[Shinzon2004]

and thus BACK TO THE FUTURE PART IV is born.Now,how difficult that can be?

Hmmmm I might do my story in the K site Fanfiction section.
Originally I named it "BACK TO THE FUTURE PART IV:THE DAY AFTER". and it begins in the year 1985 minutes after Doc returns to the Old West....

I would love to see Michael J Fox playing Marty McFly one more time!

[dexterfan]

i've often made things up in my head about a 4th movie but i think it ended well. they coulda made a 4th one, but only if they did not destroy the delorean in the 3rd one, sure they coulda used the train, but thats not the same at all!

[Elite]

id love a sequel, but it would need to be really good to keep the reputation of the movies

i did wonder how they'd explain all that wreckage left at the end of III.
Maybe they got Biff to clean it up...

[Shinzon2004]

That is my story,to explain the wreckage of the decimated DeLorean...by the way,at the end of Part III,why did the people that saw the destruction of the car didnt reacted???

I mean,they saw a car being destroyed,and probably someone
(Marty) could had been killed.I read other stories about what could had happened if Marty was killed in fact by that train....

I was always bothered by the fact that the debris of the DeLorean was still there,some amount of time passed between
Marty s racing with Needles....and nobody bothered to see what happened!Also I believe that Doc s Time Train was noisy enough when it showed up.....hmmm what kind of people has Hill Valley as to not to react to the unexpected?

The police should had been present after Marty and Jennifer arrived to the train tracks....

[axisoftime]

Michael J Fox could never do another one-hes battleing Parkinson's Disease.When the Delorian was destroyed on the tracks,if anyone was looking they would have seen Marty jump out.I suppose it would have been reported,but the car was totally destroyed.However,wouldnt sumone have seen a flying train lol?Maybe a 4th film could have Doc's kids and Marty's grandchildren getting together for sum adventure?Id like to see a 4th film -as they are 3 of my favorites.

[Shinzon2004]

I still insist that a best sequel to BTTF III must start after Part IV left off....

[j03superbat]

But the trilogy ended fifteen years ago - Michael J. Fox couldn't play the same character right where Part III leaves off.

Anyway, I think the BttF trilogy should be cherished and left to collect dust, eventually to be enshrined and recognized as a classic. No remakes, no sequels, no prequels.

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

I second that, J03superbat.

[Summers]

I third that :). Some things should be left alone.

[TMLS' BROTHER]

I agree as well. Lets not have another sequel/remake qhatever that ends up being crap and ruins the original(s).

[Shinzon2004]

Although Robert Zemeckis said that he is not interested in doing a Part IV,such thing might happen with another director and a different cast.

Personally,I would love to see more time travel adventures,Michael J Fox could make a a cameo only.

It would be something like BTTF:The Next Generation.

Remember BTTF:The Ride?Well,it could start from there,
Doc teaching Jules and Vern how to time travel....
Using the time train and a new DeLorean of course....

Remember,in Hollywood anything can happen!

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

True, but I think there really has to be a high demand for it and Universal would more than likely go direct to video with it if it truly did happen.

[j03superbat]

Well - Shinzon might end up getting his wish.

Fox Heading 'Back to the Future'?

Michael J. Fox is heading Back To The Future for a fourth time-traveling movie. The actor, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, admits he's in negotiations for a final film in the series - but only if they make his character as old as he is in real life. The former Spin City star wants to take over Christopher Lloyd's eccentric scientist character, Doc, in the sequel. He tells movie website Moviehole.net, "The only way it would work would be if I played Doc. I'm 44-years-old now and I'm not interested in running around on skateboards! I think after 1, 2 and 3 we all kind of felt we had done it. And I think if they did it again now they would do it with a younger cast and just do a different realisation of it, which would be fun."
- IMDB (http://imdb.com/news/wenn/2005-12-21/#3)

I'd still prefer they not even try.

[TMLS' BROTHER]

It's not true, look at BTTF.com, they've proved it's not true.

[j03superbat]

I see... *breathes a sigh of relief*

The article does go on to say though, that a straight-to-DVD release isn't out of the question.

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

The thought still makes me want to gag.

[Summers]

I'm sorry. I know I'm a traditionalist on many things, but this is one of them. They need to just leave the BTTF alone. I don't mind if they make comics or books, but not a movie or a even direct-to-dvd movie.

Some things should definitely be left alone.

[Samara]

I'm like on two boats, I think that the trilogy is too good to put it in another movie, but then I don’t think that just leaving it to dust is a good idea. What was posted on IMDB is the best solution, I grew up on BttF and a lot of kids now don’t bother with old movies, so if they make a new one it might get people to finally watch the other ones, if you think about movies like 007, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Star Wars, whoever thought that they would still be making it in the 21st century? On that note, when Charlie came out a second time, I was totally biased thinking that it would totally destroy the original, but all it did was put the story in a different set of eyes.
After I finished rambling, I think that most people wont want another one, but then it still might be a good idea. I hope that we do get another sequel, and they put Marty back on the big screen!

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

Michael J. Fox would be strictly a cameo at best and he has said it countless times in interviews. It's a nice thought but to add to that the creators don't want to have anything to do with another film, which they even noted on the last DVD release of the trilogy.

Anyone ever see the Family Guy Episode where they show a spoof of Back to the Future. Thats what 4 should have been

[red-K glory]

I am a big fan of the Back to the Future trilogy. i have the DVD collection and i watch it a lot. my favorite BTTF movie is part 2. that is the by far the best one. If they make a 4th movie then i'd rather they have the original cast. if they have different people in it, then they might as well not make another movie because it is not going to be nearly as good as the others.

Family Guy has done it twice:

Once with Peter's black relative (one of two as far as we've seen) in BLACK TO THE FUTURE, which played up just about every part of the movie.

And the second being Peter's attempt to drive the Deloran into the mall and come back out of the wall with people burning to make a comment like: "I didn't know people were on fire in 1955."

I can agree with that, but the Zemickis and co. want no involvement in a sequel of any kind. Even Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lyold are content with where they left the series. Universal Direct to Video division might have other ideas though considering what they've been tossing around rumor wise as of late.

LOL FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

A great reference no less. That episode was on the Cartoon Network airing the other night ironically.

[F-Stop Blues]

I would much rather see the BTTF animated series on DVD than a new movie. However I wouldnt mind if they went back to the cartoons and started making new ones.

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

I can agree with that approach. We would still have the characters and be able to explore them more, without losing our classic trilogy in the long run.

[Shinzon2004]

What if they do a movie with Marty McFly Jr and his sister Marlene?

Although I didnt liked the animated series,Marty Jr and Marlene are very interesting characters....

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

For some reason, I feel like that would be forced. Reminds me of doing a slasher sequel bringing in characters that weren't crucial to begin with. Besides that, that's once again bringing up the prospect of Michael J. Fox reprising roles of his younger self, which he said he wouldn't do.

[Shinzon2004]

I just hope they dont make a remake of the BTTF series with other actors,it would be horrendous....

I mean,just how will they attempt to recreate the adventures of
Marty McFly and Doc Brown without Michael Fox and
Chris Lloyd?This time and age,Hollywood loves to do remakes.

I just hope they leave the BTTF alone in that respect although
I would love to see a Part IV.
