‘Back To The Future’ Director Says Sequel Or Remake Is “Not In The Cards”; Open To Do A Movie Musical [Video]

Robert Zemeckis, the director and co-creator of Back to the Future, is shutting down the idea of remaking or creating a sequel to the franchise.

In a new interview, the filmmaker revealed that he would only revisit the world he co-created with Bob Gale if he created a movie musical.

“You know, we have to say, ‘There are different things that might work.’ Something like that, you know? But to remake the movie or to suggest that there’s a Back to the Future 4, it just isn’t in the cards,” Zemeckis said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

Zemeckis said Universal has asked him if he was open to revisiting the Back to the Future universe, joking that the studio does it “every six months.”

“I would like to do Back to the Future: The Musical,” Zemeckis said. “Just like [Mel Brooks] did with The Producers. I would love to do that. I think that would be great.”
