Producer Frank Marshall Says BACK TO THE FUTURE Will Never Be Rebooted
As you know, Hollywood loves remaking old classic movies. There are still a few out there that haven't been touched and that should never be touched. The Goonies, E.T., and Back to the Future are just a few of them.
You'll be happy to hear that Back to the Future producer Frank Marshall says he will never allow the time traveling film to be rebooted or remade. When asked about it during an interview with Yahoo, he said:
“Yeah [we won’t reboot Back To The Future], as long as I have my say. No, that one exists just like E.T. – we’re never touching those. I love watching it. But how about we almost got the Chicago Cubs victory right?!”
There are some movies that just shouldn't be touched because no matter how hard a filmmaker tries, they just won't capture the magic and wonder of the original film. A good example of a film that should not have been re-made is Poltergeist. That original movie is a horror movie masterpiece and regardless of the fun aspects of the remake, it was pretty much inferior in every way.
Remakes of these classics would never live up to awesomeness of the original. Marshall is one of a few producers in Hollywood that obviously understands that. At least it's good to know that one classic from the '80s won't go through the remake meat grinder.
