So we were right when we said we hardly believed the story of another Back to the Future being on, although don’t be so quick. Word is out that although it was a misquote from the original source, it looks like there might be a push for a fourth movie after all.
From JoBlo, BTTF are putting a nail in the head of the rumour right now…mixing metaphors but who cares! Yet there’s more (not metaphors!…
According to BTTF.com, Universal recently started a division called “Universal DVD Originals” and when Universal Home Entertainment president Craig Kornblau was asked about whether they’d consider doing a sequel under the UDO banner, he said “We are looking at it!!!!” Of course, Kornblau may have just been pandering to our geek hearts or the quote was simply said in jest to get a rise out of whoever was asking but if it is true…
So there is some possibility that there could be a fourth, however I don’t see Fox getting involved. As you all pointed out his health doesn’t really permit him to shoot a full length movie. Although he was fantastic in his Scrubs appearances you could see the change in him and the trouble he was having, I suspect the shooting was heavily scheduled around him, and that wouldn’t work on a major film unless it was a bit part. So a sequel without him? Nah, not for me.
