Is it “Time” for Back to the Future IV?

Watching Michael J Fox in anything these days has the air of the most uncomfortable politeness. Like everyone is watching a toddler trying to speak and clapping when he doesn't mess up

I couldn't deal with a whole movie of that

Can you imagine that movie being made now. The SJW fest its going to be. Maybe the ghostbuster female crew can shim in on it rofl.

They would go for the typical trope of him having a kid and that kid finds the car and travels back in time etc etc

Please no more.

-No more beloved characters coming back as corpse versions of themselves, or getting killed off to push a mediocre new one
-No more handing off classics to modern Hollywood ‘writers‘ to ruin everything
-No more awkward, horribly wrapped stories, whereas before there was simply perfection

We had a couple of cool returns with Rocky, and Indiana Jones being onscreen again, despite big flaws for the latter.

I regret ever praising those two, because it’s led to a never-ending stream of corporate zombie revivals, cashing in on memberberries, that have just ruined everything.

You can’t be serious. Chris Lloyd is 82. Fox has some pretty advance stages of Parkinson’s. Good luck getting Crispin back. Wilson, Shue, and Thompson might be down for a sequel but that would be about it.

You know what I’d like to have? A NEW-brand NEW-movie about time travel that might have been inspired by BTTF but is totally it’s own thing.
But movie producers don't do that! They only ride on the coat tails of established properties! (see also comic book publishers).

I'd rather get this.

I'd watch it.
 
I can already picture the script ...

Doc: 'Marty we have to go back to the future, it's your family again!'
Marty: 'What's the matter Doc, do my kids turn into assholes?'
Doc: 'Worse Marty, they're TERFs and they're about to be cancelled! By the way, there's something I need to tell you about the Flux Capacitor ...'
Marty: 'What is it Doc, is it broken?'
Doc: 'No Marty, I never invented it at all, it was actually created by my science assistant ...'
*Cuts to badass POC teenage girl stepping out of the Delorean*
Doc: 'That's right Marty, I'm a fraud and my white male fragility lead to me appropriating her discovery as my own'
Super Scientist Assistant: 'What's the matter y'all? Never seen a beautiful, bad-ass, genius POC inventor before?'
*Record scratches as Biff enters the scene*
Biff: Surprise buttheads! That's right, it's me Biff ...
*Biff removes wig to reveal golden pompadour'
Biff: Or should I say ... Drumpff!'
*Cue theme and BTTF logo*

Nah. Do not want. Jimmy Kimmel wheeled out Fox and Lloyd for a bit a while back. They were both in terrible health



That's from 5 years ago. I saw that and I got so depressed


Mj Fox has gotten a lot worse since sadly.
Here’s a clip of him from this year.



Jump to around the 5min mark.

I will admit I have not read anything is this thread except the title. My response.

Fucking no.
 
I don't think it's a good idea, especially in the current environment. But if they do at some point, they could cast Lea's daughter as Marty's daughter. Or Biff's daughter in some alternate timeline?

Probably best to leave it alone though.

Well that saved me typing up my thoughts.
