Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood is very much against the idea.

Wood isn't going to let that man die alone on his island.
...But maybe she should?

This man is correct: Back to the Future may be improvement-proof. Except for that third one...

Back to the Future has never lost its relevance, not ever. Still routinely watched and passed down to new generations of moviegoers like good American sci-fi folklore. What's there to reboot?

This is how long fans are willing to hold the line on this.
Lucky for us all, the film trilogy's director, Robert Zemeckis, has routinely shot down the notion of any kind of continuation of the franchise. Zemeckis even recently said in an interview that it would take his death for the franchise to be tampered with:
"Oh, God no. That can't happen until both Bob and I are dead. And then I'm sure they'll do it, unless there's a way our estates can stop it."
Let's keep that man alive as long as possible, yes?
Would you be open to any kind of continuation of Back to the Future? If so, how would you like to see it happen? Let us know in the comments!
