Great Scott!

I just found this on IMDb.

He tells movie website Moviehole.net, "The only way it would work would be if I played Doc. I'm 44-years-old now and I'm not interested in running around on skateboards! I think after 1, 2 and 3 we all kind of felt we had done it. And I think if they did it again now they would do it with a younger cast and just do a different realisation of it, which would be fun."
I don't know WHAT to think of that.

"THE END" apparantly didn't mean anything.

Well, if this is "Back to the Future the Next Generation" I might be able to dig it. Can't be a worse sequel to Part III than the cartoon series was.

There just needs to be a mandatory appearance by Christopher Lloyd. I miss that guy.

The script had been written years ago, but the project was deliberatly stopped by the guys behind it, the reasons for which were "We dont' want to tarnish the original trilogy"

Why the hell would Marty be a scientest anyway? Hes' a guitar player aspiring to have his own band and career, does'nt Micheal pay attention to the characters he plays or something?

Oh wait....its' IMDB, the internets' answer to the national inquirer, the same site that has claimed Captain Janeways' character would star in Power Rangers Dinothunder

From www.bttf.com:

Hollywood — The internet’s all a-buzz this morning over reports that Michael J. Fox is currently in negotiations to do a fourth Back to the Future film, but there’s only one problem — it’s simply not true.

The purported news, which has already been picked up by dozens of media outlets, originated at ContactMusic.com — a site notorious for spreading false information or rewording reports to slant towards a different angle.

"It’s the first I’ve heard of it!," quips writer/producer Bob Gale, who maintains that the studio has never approached him nor director Robert Zemeckis to consider putting a fourth film together.

"Yeah, they twisted it around by the looks - - - Fox simply says what he'd do if there was to be a fourth...," admits webmaster/editor Clint Morris, whose MovieHole site is referenced in the report.

The interview in question is a generic print interview conducted internally at Universal International Pictures based in London for syndication use to promote the Back to the Future 4-Disc Collector's Set released internationally this past October. BTTF.com was given the opportunity to review all three syndicated interviews (w/Fox, Gale & Lloyd) issued by Universal in early October, but was prohibited from printing them due to exclusive agreements Universal has with their international territories.

While this report is certainly false, given the fact that our inbox has been flooded with emails from fans all over the world the past 12+ hours since the rumor first hit, perhaps Universal should be looking into another film anyway.

Just a few months ago, Universal Studios Home Entertainment formed a new division called "Universal DVD Originals" to develop and market direct-to-DVD franchise sequels, which already successfully released Carlito's Way: Rise to Power in October and will release American Pie Presents Band Camp next week.

When asked if any consideration has been given to launching a Back to the Future sequel under Universal's new 'DVD Originals' banner, USHE President Craig Kornblau recently admitted in an email to BTTF.com, "We are looking at it!!!!"

Perhaps the future of Back to the Future 4 hasn't been written yet after all...

Back To The Future 4

Local news just did a short report on Back To The Future 4. Yes there will be one. However Michael J. Fox states he's too old to play Marty McFly and wants to play Doc Brown instead.

Maybe I'll see it but I just hope this doesn't ruin the trilogy. All I need now Jurassic Park 4 and Indiana Jones 4.

They already ruined Jurassic Park by the 3rd one.. Terrible.. I love the original one and will always..

Indiana Jones is another matter. All 3 movies weer awesome including the last one " The last Crusade" I bet Lucas and Speleberg will do good on this one.

They better.. I hope they don't use too much CGI

Techinally they've already made a "fourth" Indiana Jones movie.. and what do you know... it was a prequel

I've never seen it, but on my VHS copies of the Indiana Jones movies, they ran an ad for a TV movie about the life of Indiana Jones as a little kid.

Back to the topic... is this "fourth movie" (for Indiana Jones) already confirmed?

You're refering to the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles...it wasn't a movie but a tv series that lasted for a couple seasons....basically each ep an old decripet man (Ancient Indy) would stop somebody in a museum and flashback to his younger years.

As for Indiana Jones 4....It's yet to get off the ground because they can't all agree on a script.

However Jurrasic Park 4 comes out in 2006. It's called The Extinction.

Hmm maybe it could be the end of that series that was good at the start but got stale by the 3rd movie..

Ok ok So I made a mistake or two.. War of the world remake was terrible and so was ep1.

But Indiana Jones barely even uses CGI though Lucas is planning on directing this I'm sure he might keep some real landscape.
