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

Bob Gale, co-creator of the iconic 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 collaborated with Robert Zemeckis on all three films, emphatically stated there are no plans for a continuation of the beloved science fiction franchise. Responding to persistent inquiries about a Back to the Future 4, Gale, speaking backstage at the Saturn Awards, bluntly reiterated his sentiment: "People always say, ‘When are you going to do Back to the Future 4?’ And we say, ‘F*** you.’"

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 will, ironically, remain firmly rooted in its past.

The original 1985 film, featuring time-traveling teen Marty McFly and the eccentric Doc Brown, achieved legendary status. However, its sequels, released in 1989 and 1990, received less enthusiastic reviews.

Despite a three-decade hiatus, the franchise endures. Its impact on cinema is undeniable, and it continues to thrive through a Broadway musical adaptation. Gale revealed plans for a stage production destined for Royal Caribbean Cruises and hinted at assisting Michael J. Fox in penning a book about his experiences with the franchise.
