When are we gonna get a Black to the Future?


It's about time to get that reboot in the works

There's a bit of an accepted gentleman's agreement in the industry that BTTF will not be remade unless Zemeckis has passed away.

I believe that a better option is to create a limited TV series based on the characters of Marty and Doc, which flashes back and forth in time as we get to know them separately in their lives before meeting, and then season 2 could see how Marty enters Doc's life in the 1950s and it 'retells' the first film from there in a more detailed multi-episode TV format.

It's been discussed on here before and I wrote a bit of an outline, and told the OP to pursue it but I don't know if he ended up doing anything with it.

Nobody would watch a remake , it would be sacrilege. Thats half the reason Ghostbusters 2016 failed

The TV series could maybe be accepted ...

Hey MuffCabbage,

Or a Gay Marty and Doc pref not white though, or maybe gender swap with two female lesbians pref not white though, I think that would suit today's modern audiences of those minority wokies out there wouldn't it.





Deckard B26354, I'm filed and monitored, and I retire Wokies.

Any remake/reboot would pale in comparison, and if made in this day and age would be even worse since it would be wokified with Bloc (Black Lesbian Doc) Brown and god knows what other diversity compromises and other excruciating woke messaging.

Leave great films alone, make new ones FFS.

That's not even funny.

Sorry you don't have a sense of humor

It is weird that hasn't been considered yet. Just goes to show that racism is still alive and well in Hollywood...

Anyway, cast:-

Marty: Michael B Jordan
Doc Brown: Denzel Washington
Lorraine: Amandla Stenberg
George: Donald Glover
Biff: Jonathan Majors
Strickland: Laurence Fishburne
Jennifer: Tessa Thompson

(Future Mayor) Goldie: Timothy Charmolet

You racist! Sure let's just make the one violent black criminal the bad guy Biff. Biff stays white, or I loot the dollar store!

reply

It's just nice that Crispin Glover's son Donald is able to keep the George McFly role in the family...

No remake of this movie is ever going to work or be successful no matter what color or sex the characters are.

If you can get Samuel L Jackson as Doc, then just take my money!
