Yahoo Lifestyle 'Back to the Future' Co-Writer Has Extremely Blunt Response to Those Asking for Another Movie
Bob Gale thinks the Back to the Future films need to stay in the past, or at least the present.
Gale, a screenwriter and co-creator of the beloved franchise, recently addressed those fans who have been begging for a fourth movie—and he definitely didn't mince words with his response.
At a press conference after the Saturn Awards earlier in the week—where he and Back to the Future stars Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson received the George Pal Memorial Award—Gale answered questions about the franchise, specifically about the prospects of making another movie.
"People always say, 'Well, when are you guys gonna do Back to the Future 4?," Gale said, before quipping, "And we say, 'F—k you.' You can quote me on that."
But Gale hasn't left Back to the Future fans hanging, as instead of making a fourth movie, he and co-writer and director Robert Zemeckis adapted the original movie into a musical.
"We made three terrific movies, and people kept asking for more Back to the Future, so we made Back to the Future: The Musical, which Chris and Lea have attended on several occasions," he said. "We're taking it around the world."
"My God, Back to the Future—I'm gonna be doing it for the rest of my life!" Gale further gushed, before adding, "Who could ask for anything more?"
