Back to the Future
Back to the Future Sequel Coming?
It turns out that Universal may have become game for the straight-to-video business and has plans for older films including the Back to the Future series. Personally, I am not too big of a fan of straight-to-video films and would hope that if a sequel to BTTF was done it would be done correctly.
There has been some rumors about a "Back to the Future 4" this week on the net. (Apparently The Guardian newspaper misquoted an interview at the great Moviehole website that Michael J.Foxx did).
Of course, The Guardian got it wrong - typical british tabloid rewording to their hearts degree - Fox simply makes a suggestion as to what he would do if they did a Back to the Future 4.
But does that mean there won't be one? SEEMS NOT!
Universal told the official "Back to the future" site this week that there might be one! www.bttf.com (the best back to the future site on the net!!) does have some news on a potential sequel or spin-off!
They talked to someone at Universal Home Entertainment who indicated that they're considering doing a direct-to-DVD sequel to "Back to the Future".
"Just a few months ago, Universal Studios Home Entertainment formed a new division called "Universal DVD Originals" to develop and market direct-to-DVD franchise sequels, which already successfully released Carlito's Way: Rise to Power in October and will release American Pie Presents Band Camp next week. When asked whether any consideration has been given to launching a Back to the Future sequel under Universal's new 'DVD Originals' banner, USHE President Craig Kornblau recently admitted in an email to BTTF.com, "We are looking at it!!!!"
My feeling is that it'd be a Doc Brown spin-off or something.
Shan.
Interesting. I would at least be a bit curious to see how Universal swings the spin-off.
Stay tuned for updates.
