Back to the Future, celebrating its 40th anniversary, remains a cherished film trilogy with no remakes planned due to a contract signed by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale. Their 1984 agreement with Universal/Amblin Entertainment ensures they maintain rights over the franchise, preventing any new adaptations during their lifetimes. Zemeckis has emphatically expressed that a remake is unthinkable, comparing it to remaking iconic films like Citizen Kane. Discussions about reviving the franchise persist, indicating ongoing interest despite the creators' resistance.
Zemeckis and Gale's original 1984 contract with Universal/Amblin Entertainment grants them control over any Back to the Future projects, keeping the franchise unchanged.
Zemeckis stated that a remake of Back to the Future would only occur over their 'literal dead bodies' and criticized the idea of remaking classic films.
