HuffPost
"You can quote me on that," joked Bob Gale, who wrote and produced all three films, while receiving an award Sunday.
Bob Gale has some choice words for “Back to the Future” fans demanding a fourth film.
The award-winning screenwriter, who penned and produced all three entries in the beloved franchise, made what some would consider a shattering announcement Sunday after receiving the George Pal Memorial Award at the Saturn Awards in Universal City, California.
“People always say, ‘Well, when are you guys gonna do ‘Back to the Future 4?’” Gale told reporters at press conference alongside “Future” actors and fellow George Pal recipients Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson. “And we say, ‘Fuck you.’ You can quote me on that.”
While the answer produced audible laughter from those in the room, it appeared to be a genuine reaction to a long-running question from lifelong fans of the franchise, which were not only box office hits but created a devoted fan base that hasn’t wavered since 1985.
“No, we made three terrific movies,” Gale clarified Sunday. “And people kept asking for more ‘Back to the Future,’ so we made ‘Back to the Future: The Musical,’ which Chris and Lea have attended on several occasions — we’re taking it around the world.”
