Too bad with Micheal Bay at the helm, I suppose Delorean Time Travel would be like this: MARTY: "So how does it work, Doc?" DOC: "You have this Delorean and another car racing toward each other at full speed. When they collide head on; the energy from the MASSIVE EXPLOSION triggers this device which opens two temporal rifts. The first rift takes you back 5 seconds so the head-on collision never occurred; and the second one causes a MASSIVE TEMPORAL EXPLOSION that propels you, backwards or forwards in time to the date you set here."
^I like Robot Chicken's idea for that. I think you could make one heck of a video game out of that. But he needs to make better movies, no more remakes!!
I always thought that the reason the suburb of Hilldale was so run-down in the first place - even before history is changed - was that the changes that Old Biff was about to start (back in 1955) were already starting to ripple forward into the future, even before Biff makes those changes. I mean, look at the kind of place Hilldale is. Isn't that just the kind of world that "Evil Biff" would want to create? It's the inevitable result of Biff's actions. I don't see why Hilldale would turn out that way if Biff wasn't responsible... That's another part of my headcanon: 2015 was never supposed to be as ridiculously cartoonish as BTTF2 depicted, and that part of Marty's mission is to make sure it never becomes that way. Things like flying cars, weather control, abolishing all the lawyers, etc. were never supposed to happen.
That's right. The newspaper in BTTF2 says, "President says she is tired." So how sweet would it have been if Hillary won? (Apart from all the obvious reasons why that would be sweet.)
I went to a BTTF panel at last year. Bob Gale, via pre-recorded video, laid down some ground rules, among them of which was that there were no plans for a reboot and that even if there were, he and Zemeckis would still have to give approval, to which there's none. So don't even ask. Still, during the Q&A, a fan did a little workaround, asking, "If there WERE to be a reboot, who would you want to play your roles?" Their answers... Michael J. Fox: Well, I could see Marty as a girl. Lea Thompson: My daughter looks just like me, and she's an actress, so she can take my part and that would be cool. Christopher Lloyd: I'd be happy to audition again.
Why do Gale and Zermekis have so much control over BTTF? Isn't it the studio that would have to approve a reboot or such?
I don't know all the details, but I know they shopped the idea for the movie around to various studios, rather than being hired by the studio to make it. So I would assume they retained ownership of the concept in their contracts.
Oh ok well in that case that is a good thing. When studios have too much control you get shitty reboots and prequels. Having said that did Ridley Scott lose his mind? Alien Covenant just seemed to say "fuck you" to the previous movie or was that his way of saying "fuck you" to the fans who criticized said movie?
Let's see. Instead of being fueled by plutonium it would be fueled by a nuclear warhead. And the warhead would wind up stolen by Biff.
Noted: Playmobil is making a BttF DeLorean set, and, unlike the Lego one from a few years back, it doesn't look like ass on a stick: Compare to:
