Both Gale and Zemeckis have said that there will never be a sequel or reboot as long as they are alive, but as we've seen with other things, they are open to reviving the franchise in other mediums, like that musical and video games.
Hypothetically..... at this point, I would do a trilogy of movies, set in that universe, with the same method of time travel... the tone is the same, as is the sound track and aesthetics, it's a spiritual successor. Unofficially.
It doesn't need to be labelled back to the future, but it can be heavily inspired by.
That way we have new material, new ideas, new story, cast and crew...
Think about it, anyone can say they spoke to a guy and he gave me this secret to a time machine, they don't need to use the same names.... they get a car, it goes fast, boom, time travel.
It could even be 3 teens find a car running, abandoned... they use it and it time travels... they don't need to show anything else like 88 miles per hour... or maybe..... 145 km
Now, would that be copyright? maybe not... frowned upon... maybe, who cares... there are soooo many movies that rip each other off...
Then a cameo by Christopher Lloyd in the background - it's a way to move on, yet stay close.
The car??? maybe a classic, maybe something unexpected... maybe the car is not the focal point so much...
That's what I would like... call it a homage, a reboot, call it a retcon, call it whatever you like, but more movies of that ilk would be good...
For me, I would like it that a couple of teens find a car, with ignition running... they get in, sit around, then drive it, they appear elsewhere, totally different time period, they then change the dials, go back further.. go to the future, they have some fun. Trouble is, in the future they realize a catastrophe happens, so they learn how it happened and they then go back to try and stop it from ever happening... do they succeed...
