Back to the Future Fans Wanting a Fourth Film? 'F**k You,' Says Co-Creator

Bob Gale, co-creator of the beloved Back to the Future trilogy, delivered a blunt message to fans yearning for a fourth installment: "F*** you."

In a candid interview with Yahoo, Gale, who penned all three films alongside Robert Zemeckis, emphatically stated that there are absolutely no plans for a continuation of the franchise within its established canon. Responding to persistent inquiries about a Back to the Future 4, Gale's response, delivered backstage at the Saturn Awards, was a succinct and unequivocal rejection.

While Hollywood frequently embraces reboots and sequels, often with mixed results (witness the critical reception of The Matrix Resurrections and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), Back to the Future, ironically, will remain firmly entrenched in its past.

The original 1985 film introduced audiences to Marty McFly and Doc Brown's time-traveling escapades, achieving iconic status in science fiction cinema. However, its subsequent sequels, released in 1989 and 1990, received less enthusiastic critical acclaim.

Despite a three-decade hiatus, the franchise's legacy endures, extending beyond its cultural impact to include a Broadway musical adaptation. Gale revealed plans for a stage production destined for Royal Caribbean Cruises and hinted at collaboration with Michael J. Fox on a book detailing Fox's experiences with the franchise.
