As for the future of the franchise, don’t expect a reboot anytime soon. Ever since the third movie came out in 1990, fans have wondered if the filmmakers – or even somebody new – will ever return to the world of Hill Valley. In a rarity for Hollywood, the property remains under the control of filmmaker Robert Zemeckis and writer Bob Gale, who brought the original Back to the Future script around Hollywood and made it their pet project.
Zemeckis and Gale — colloquially called “The Bobs” — have long insisted that they have no interest in doing more Back to the Future, especially not without Fox and Lloyd. That doesn’t stop the question from coming up periodically, including in a recent interview with Fox, where he offered his unique perspective.
“I’m not fanatical,” Fox told Variety. “Do what you want. It’s your movie. I got paid already.”
“I don’t think it needs to be,” Fox added. “I think Bob and Bob have been really smart about that. I don’t think it needs rebooting because are you going to clarify something? You’re going to find a better way to tell the story? I doubt it.”
