Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg are doing press now for American Reuinion, a sequel/remake to the original American Pie movie(s) and during a press junket they revealed that they've signed a two-year contract with Universal. When asked which Universal property they'd love to tackle next, which they answered with none other than Back To The Future.
"We want Back to the Future, just come out and say it", Scholssberg admitted. "That's our favourite trilogy. We're always having this conversation."
On the timing of their dream BTTF remake...
"I wouldn't want to do it now because people would be like, 'Oh, there's no way it will be as good as the original.' But 30 years from now when Spielberg's, like, 90 and those guys are kind of on their way out, and those movies just look really old because we're watching movies that are old, literally in two dimensions or something, it would be great to have all these classics that you're able to remake."
On the difference between a remake and a sequel...
"I personally would far rather a sequel, unless it's something that is so old that the general movie going public hasn't really seen the movie, and then you could consider it a reboot."
What do you guys think of a sequel to the original trilogy? Blasphemy? Great Idea? I for one think that you could easily write a story involving Doc Browns kids from the end of Part III meeting Marty's kids. Personal conjecture.
Either way, sound off in the comments below!
