Spielberg To Go 'Back To The Future'?
From IMDb:
That is so sucks ... even it's Spielberg himself, he'll be ruining one of my favourite trilogy by doing the third sequel.
Hollywood heavyweight Steven Spielberg has reportedly expressed an interest in reviving the beloved Back To The Future franchise. The Minority Report director has held tentative talks with studio Universal about making a fourth film - and it could be an animated adventure. According to website Ain't It Cool News, the radical departure from the format of the initial trilogy is to compensate for the lack of original regulars involved. Stars Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd, director Robert Zemeckis and producer Bob Gale have all declined to be a part of the mooted new film.

If "true," it could possibly be the worst idea ever.

I don't believe this for a second... Spielberg couldn't possibly think this would be a good idea... I refuse to believe my hero would even let this idea cross his mind... come on Stevie... prove me right and prove this story wrong!

Maybe Marty has to go to the future to find the cure for Parkinsons?
At least they wouldn't have to age Lea Thompson anymore.
I'd just make it like Smokey and the Bandit 3 and have Einstein skateboarding and traveling through time.

. . . According to website Ain't It Cool News. . .
I've come to the conclusion that AICN is nothing more than a big rumor factory invented to create controversy, and to keep Harry Knowles in the rapidly dimming imaginary spotlight he set up for himself.
I just don't see this ever happening in the real world.

I agree. This idea stinks. The series is over. There's nowhere else to go.

Spielberg just wants to do a complete remake and update it and change it from a Delorean to a new BMW or an Audi. He also wants to use Sean Williams Scott to play Marty and Ashton Kutcher to play his dad... then they'll say "Dude, where's my time machine?" and have to get their girlfriends to help them find it. Doc will be played by a CG einstein voiced by Robin Williams. Finally, he wants to change the ending (since this is a remake) of the original - instead of Doc coming back from the future and asking them to travel there with him to help their kids... they have to travel to the future where the earth is covered in water due to the melting of the polar ice caps... they then have to travel to the bottom of the sea that was once a city and ask the fairy godmother to help Doc become a real person instead of a CG character and then they'll all die there when the BMW's battery dies and they get stuck - 1500 years later, they get discovered by aliens who are also CG robots and they make Doc their king and put Marty and his dad into the Matrix to help fuel their robot civilization.

On a completely unrelated topic, someone in my little town of 10k is driving a DeLorean around. And I saw one in Tokyo two years ago. Cool, huh?
Anyway, if the movie is done well, make it. If it sucks, I won't watch it. It's that simple for me. I would rather have 10 stinker sequels out there that I don't watch, than miss one great one because a series was deemed too "great" to work with again.

If you guys read the article very carefully, it will not be a sequel to Back to the Future III, it will be the fourth film of Back to the Future. With the guys planning it to make it into animated film, that will not go along with the BTTF trilogy. The animated film will be a standalone film.
Bob Zemeckis never wanted a Back to the Future IV. So to pay respect to Zemeckis, they will NOT make another live action BTTF IV even though they could get a different director. Michael J. Fox has parkinson's disease and Christopher Lloyd will end up turning the role down too but they could still do the voice overs for the animated movie though.
If it's going to be an animated movie, I have no problem with it so there is nothing to complain about.

The Matrix put out two movies already, and they already released an animated version of the Matrix which is "Animatrix".
Did you consider "Animatrix" part of the Matrix trilogy? No. Well, it's the same thing here.

Virtually no one involved with the original Back to the Future trilogy would be involved with this, most importantly the original creators. Bad comparison.
I wish I had a screenshot of the train going over the ravine in Back to the Future III to describe what a fourth film would be.

I heard that the 4th film will take place in an alternate universe where people point walkie-talkies at one another instead of guns.
But seriously, a animated movie wouldnt hurt as long as it followed the TV series...because we know that thing didnt follow the movies closely.
As for a live action movie...well...who has a dead horse Speilberg can beat?
Has Spielberg ran out of movie idea's that he must dredge up old movies to do unneeded sequals to? *cough*JurassicPark4*cough*

All I can say is if Copernicus/Einstein isn't a wise-cracking clutz (voiced by Eddie Murphy or the like), I'm not going to see it. And there better be singing woodland animals!!
