AMERICAN REUNION Directors Want to Remake BACK TO THE FUTURE

This is going to sound like an April Fools joke post, but here it is: The American Reunion and Harold & Kumar directors, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, have just signed a two-year deal with Universal Pictures, and they would like to remake or extend the Back to the Future franchise! This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a long time. There are some movies that are untouchable for remakes, and Back to the Future is at the top of the list of movies you can't remake! Here's what the directors had to say:

We want Back to the Future, just come out and say it. That's our favourite trilogy. We're always having this conversation.

I wouldn't want to do it now because people would be like, 'Oh, there's no way it will be as good as the original.' But 30 years from now when Spielberg's, like, 90 and those guys are kind of on their way out, and those movies just look really old because we're watching movies that are old, literally in two dimensions or something, it would be great to have all these classics that you're able to remake.

I don't really care how much time has passed, I don't ever want to see these movies remade in my lifetime, and if they're remade after I die, I will be the dead guy starting a zombie revolution against Hollywood. 

Hurwitz and Schlossberg then go on to explain that they would prefer a sequel over a remake.

I personally would far rather a sequel, unless it's something that is so old that the general movie going public hasn't really seen the movie, and then you could consider it a reboot.

I going to have to disagree. I'm very stubborn when it comes to this crap. I especially don't want it coming from the guy who made Harold and Kumar! I doubt that this will ever happen, but the fact they are even thinking about a remake is blasphemy for any movie geek. 

Would you want to see Back to the Future get remade?
