Co-Creator's Blunt Response to Fans Demanding Fourth 'Back to the Future' Film

Bob Gale, co-creator of the iconic science fiction franchise "Back to the Future," has a stark message for fans eagerly awaiting a revival of the beloved series: "F**k you." In a candid interview with Yahoo, Gale, who wrote and produced all three films alongside Robert Zemeckis, firmly stated that there are no plans for a canonical continuation of the franchise. When asked about the possibility of a "Back to the Future 4," Gale's response was unequivocal: "And we say, ‘F**k you.’"

In an era where reboots and sequels are rampant, with recent examples like "The Matrix Resurrections" and "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" receiving lukewarm responses, "Back to the Future" will, ironically, remain anchored in the past. The original film, released in 1985, follows high school student Marty McFly as he is accidentally sent back in time by the eccentric scientist Doc Brown. While the first movie became a landmark in sci-fi cinema, its sequels, released in 1989 and 1990, did not achieve the same level of acclaim.

Despite the absence of new films for over three decades, the franchise continues to thrive through its enduring legacy and influence. It has also expanded into other mediums, including a successful Broadway musical. Gale revealed plans for a stage production on Royal Caribbean Cruises and mentioned his collaboration with Michael J. Fox, the actor who portrayed Marty McFly, on a book about Fox's experiences.
