Back to the Future Co-Writer Dismisses Fourth Movie, Says 'F*** You'

Bob Gale, co-writer of the iconic 'Back to the Future' series, firmly stated that there will not be a fourth film in the franchise, responding humorously and bluntly to fan inquiries with, 'F*** you!' during a press conference at the Saturn Awards. Gale emphasized that the team created three fantastic movies and have since transitioned to producing 'Back to the Future: The Musical,' which has enjoyed global success. Director Robert Zemeckis echoed Gale's sentiments, explaining that while Universal Studios frequently approaches him about a sequel, he believes revisiting the franchise is not feasible. Both Gale and Zemeckis have shown interest in expanding the story through different mediums, such as the musical, rather than producing another film. Gale remarked that he will be involved with the franchise for the rest of his life, showcasing his commitment to its legacy. The original 'Back to the Future' film was released in 1985, followed by two successful sequels, establishing a lasting cultural impact.
