Awesome Fan-Made Trailer for BACK TO THE FUTURE PART IV
I’m such a huge fan of the films that make up the Back To The Future trilogy. I grew up on those films, and I still remember watching them for the first time in theaters. That first film especially completely blew my mind as a kid!
This franchise holds a special place in my heart, and it’s one that I hope Hollywood never attempts to remake. But, it’s also hard not to be curious about what a sequel would look like all these years later. I don’t think we need another Back To The Future sequel, but then I watched this fan-made trailer, and it definitely sparked excitement in me!
The fan trailer comes from Smasher who shared the following information:
Many fans thought a fourth "Back to the Future" movie could be in the works when one of the lead actors in the originals, Christopher Lloyd who played Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown, posted references to the movies on social media. Michael J. Fox posted on Instagram the day after saying, "Doc and I are up to something heavy…"
It turned out they were teasing a Back to the Future themed store. When one fan replied to his tweet saying. "Please please don't say you're remaking BTTF," Lloyd wrote, "We are not."
Fans have always wondered about why there wouldn’t be another installment when every other beloved franchises seems to keep going back to the well. In a interview co-writer of the series Bob Gale explained why the fourth movie would never happen: They had already told a complete story with the original trilogy.
Michael J. Fox is obviously a big part of it. But, you could just recast it right? There was that Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr. deep fake people seemed to like.
But the point stands. The film will always be compared to the original and never live on its own. That’s just a fact. As a result, it’ll always be considered inferior or, hypothetical though unlikely, will lessen the legacy of the original.
There are so few franchises or characters that haven’t been watered down in the past 30 years that it’s refreshing to have a franchise like Back to the Future which can just remain those three beloved movies. Plus, if you really want more Back to the Future, it’s out there. There are comic books, video games, even a freaking Broadway musical. Plenty of other ways the story has been continued without a movie. Those things feel like the best of both worlds—more of that thing you love without actually affecting the original.
A short movie was released titled Doc Brown Saves the World, officially created by Universal Studios and starring Christopher Lloyd, reprising his role of Dr. Emmett Brown and set entirely in his secret lab outside Hill Valley. The short movie takes place thirty years after the trilogy. Doc Brown Saves the World is the only official movie sequel to the trilogy that has ever been created.
