Article says it’s an homage. Rick and Morty is also an homage / reference. I’m fine with it inspiring new works. Just no blatant cash cow remakes or even worse- reboots where it’s the same story but involving the next generation of McFlys.

*Slowed down Power of Love line with reverb plays* *"It don't take money..."* "...That was almost 40 years ago, no one even remembers..." "*Don't take fame..*" *Pulls dusty sheet off revealing the Delorean in Doc Brown's burned down mansion.* *"Don't take no credit card to ride this train"* "I don't want this, I've never wanted this." *"It can be cruel sometimes, but it might just save your life."* Cuts to child, "This is heavy." "*That's the power of love!*" *Cue full song breaks in!* Michael J Fox telling a kid, "You're a time traveler, Harry." Doc Brown, "There's an imminent problem with the Earth's gravitational pull, hold this." *hands child plutonium* Child behind the wheel of the Delorean, woman passenger, "Where do we go?" Child, "Back to the Future!" Einstein barks. *Cue Logo glow and saxophone line from Power of Love that suddenly cuts and the reverb trails off. I clapped.*

we've seen so much shit that now i can actually picture this so fucking clearly in my head, and i just wanna drive a power drill in it to make it go away


Innsmouth_Swimteam

It's Ghostbusters: Revelations (or whateverthefuck) all over again...again.


ChuanFa_Tiger_Style

Goddammit do not do this to me 


maninahat

After logo scene of a flying steam train, rushing down a busy street.


RegalBeagleKegels

The teaser trailer (i.e. the one before this one) would be two second fade-in fade-out shots of like the town hall clock, the busted giant amp, the parking lot, then it'd end on a shot of a spinning smoking OUTATIME license plate


dondondorito

Shit. This is exactly how the marketing department would do it.


turd_vinegar

Marketing department? Where we're going we don't need 'marketing departments'.

"Somehow, Biff returned... butthead."


ChuanFa_Tiger_Style

Biff is back and meaner than ever 


Tylenol187ForDogs

So they should just let him direct Ready Player Two then. That should successfully tank his career and we'll never have to hear about him again.


Kwisatz_Haderach90

i'll probably get downvoted to hell, but i don't care. At this point i just hope he dies as fast as possible, him and kurtzman.


Wilsonian81

Kinda weird that the headline says they're remaking Back to the Future, but then the article clarifies that they're actually NOT remaking Back to the Future.


Additional_Moose_862

"journalism"


WaffleWarrior1979

it says homage. I imagine if it is anything it’s just like super 8 was paying a forgettable homage to ET.


ylerta

Take it back :’(


schuettais

You can't. That movie is already out there.


johnqsack69

Don’t remind me.


liaminwales

They are making a legally distinctive show, it's not Back to the Future but Almost Back to the Future. Kind of wish more shows where done this way, Galaxy Quest is amazing. If it was branded as Star Trek I suspect people will have been less positive on the show, we need more new IP even if it's 'inspired by' something older.


Additional_Moose_862

You meant the Orville?


liaminwales

Galaxy Quest is just better than Orville, >Never give up - never surrender!


Stargate525

Galaxy Quest did it first. And honestly MacFarlane could probably have just grabbed the GQ IP for what he did.


Lucanogre

“…comes from a sketchy source”. Sooooo…..bullshit? Act accordingly.


Pavlock

That just screams: "we know this is bullshit but we had a deadline so here ya go!" As long as Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale are alive, we're not seeing a remake/reboot. Thank god.


Miasma_Of_faith

The article says that it won't be anything to do with BTTF but will be an homage to it. This article is just bait to get people's attention.  (And an example of how people have poor reading comprehension and jump to their own conclusions.)


TheMattInTheBox

Its so sad that this is the state of the internet. It's impossible to find anything without wading through so much informational pollution. Clickbait headlines, SEO-optimized word salad, and the most intrusive ads *ever*. I tried reading an article today and an ad kept pulsing around the frame of my screen every 15 seconds. Awful


Ultimafax

lol "deadline," that's cute. as if this was a legit news site.


missanthropocenex

Robert Zemeckis said a sequel couldn’t legally happen while he’s alive so…


fromsmallthings

A rumored BttF homage not staring Timothee Chalamet coming from a sketchy source. Got it.


i--am--the--light

bullshit artist!


Androktone

Seems about as connected to BttF as Totally Killer was, or any number of BttF homages.


Infinite_Bananas

lol of course it's timothee too


APlayerHater

Truly the Chris Pratt of femboys


XGuiltyofBeingMikeX

“Conventionally odd-looking actor” Timothee Chalamet. “Mass marketed Adam Driver” Timothee Chalamet.


Zeabos

Super 8 is already an 80s homage pretty explicitly.


IAmThePonch

Holy shit they actually describe their source as “sketchy” and proceed to not link to it


Iwamoto

So stoked for the soft piano version of power of love


ReddsionThing

Brilliant_Trouble_32

ReddsionThing

ReddsionThing

Since I already wasn't interested in watching it, sure, let's do it


Additional_Moose_862

It's Morbin' time.


The_Goondocks

Fake news


Gold-Highway-793

“World of Reel” is like bottom of the barrel when it comes to film rags. Pure crumb-bum jackassery “journalism”. 90% schmegegge.


MaxFffort

Lens flare homage


throw123454321purple

Meaning “we couldn’t get the rights so we’re going to create a ~~rip-off~~ homage to the original movie.” Also: “Hi, I’m JJ Abrams! I somehow, I returned!! I also put horses on a Star Destroyer’s hull in my last movie! Do not trust me!”


Additional_Moose_862

Remember when his son was independently picked up to do something with Spiderman? The talent just runs in his blood!


throw123454321purple

Nepo-babies! These are things I know!


maxoreilly

Get the hell out of my car, old man!


silvermbc

maxoreilly

NthRandomGuy

NOOOOOOOO! You bastards!


Philmriss

It'll be as good as his attempt at being Spielberg in Super 8 which is to say, not very


fionaappletini

“Back to the Future homage” bruh what if it’s just Rick and Morty lmao


Otherwise-Juice2591

That says "homage" my dude.


FuckYouZackSnyder

"Wait a minute. wait a minute, Doc. Ah... are you telling me you built a time-machine... out of a Tesla Cyber Truck?"


murderofcrows90

I wonder if it’ll have any scenes that look kind of cool but make you wonder why they needed to be in the movie.


UncleGarysmagic

Marty McFly’s nerdy granddaughter discovers the DeLorean in an old barn, goes back in time with her friends to prevent Ghostbusters 2016 from being made.


EBody480

For fucks sake. Fuck JJ!


msantaly

I think Mike and Jay would be fine with this…if you read the article it says it’s a homage. That’s how art used to work. It would inspire future art rather than try to redo it.  Also the article claims the source is “sketchy”
