Unlike the Disney company, which, after buying Lucasfilm in 2012 for $ 4 billion, can afford how many new "star wars", Universal Pictures Studio is not able to test a similar trick with adorable by many franchise "back to the future." The reason is that the director Robert Zedekis and the Writer Bob Gail flatly refuse to exploit their project, as well as to give him the rights of any other party. In an interview with Collider, Gail explained:
As part of this trilogy, we told the completed story. If we decided to take another part, then we would deal with Michael J. Fox, who next year will turn 60. In addition, he suffers from Parkinson's disease. Do we want to see the 60-year-old Marty Macflash with Parkinson's disease? Or do we want to see him at the age of 50 with the same ailment? I will answer: "No, you don't want to see it."
But at the same time, no one wants to get "back to the future" without Michael J. Fox. Comparisons with the original would be inevitable, but it is so clear that it is impossible to repeat what is already there. We have repeatedly seen the sequels, which are many-many years after the original, and then people say: "Ah," hidden threat. " Probably my life would be better if I had not seen this movie. " There are a lot of other similar examples. "
To put a point in this discussion, Gale said that the authors "Back to the Future" can be compared with proud parents who are not going to give their brainchild in prostitution for the sake of financial benefits.
