Did You Know That Zac Is Obsessed With ‘Back To The Future’?

[TheWayYouMakeMeFeel]

Get ready folks, because if there’s a movie from the 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s that was popular and featured a teenage male in the lead role, there’s a good chance Zac Efron’s name will be mentioned with regards to a remake. Dude was real close to starring in a “Footloose” reboot, and now folks are beginning to go near a film I deem untouchable: “Back to the Future.”
Teen Hollywood claims Efron really wants to play Marty McFly in a new “Back to the Future” movie. However, they seem to have dreamt that up because the only Efron quote presented in their article shows he’s a fan of the series, but doesn’t necessarily want to take over the role held by Michael J. Fox for three films.
He says, “Growing up, my favourite thing to do was to climb into the car and play Back To the Future. I would pretend I was Marty McFly.”
We all did that, Zac, but what most of us didn’t do was grow up and buy manage to snag ourselves an actual DeLorean. Yup, Zac owns one, and you should see what happens when he gets her up to 88mph. So he’s obviously a huge “Back to the Future” nut, which, honestly, makes me like him a little bit more now - but does that mean he’d also jump to play McFly if a studio presented it to him? Or, like a true fan, would he yell, scream, hiss and throw flaming piles of monkey poop at any studio henchman who does so little as hold a conversation about taking on the role in either a sequel or a remake? That’s the multi-million dollar question, and I bet you a shiny stack of marbles it crosses his desk sometime soon

hahahah
i LOVE LOVE LOVE those films!

they're thinking of doing a remake?
bad ideaa.

[Zacefronitis]

That would be awesome but it sounds like the Star Wars thing- Zac merely mentioning he likes something and everyone presuming he is going to star in it!

[JDO]

awesome film.
but no leave it alone.
its too like 17 again for a start.
and just no.
doubt its true anyway

[Rach]

Back to the futre is great, but i agree that remaking it would be a bad idea

[BBV.]

aw, i love back to the future =D
they deffo shouldn't do a remake though ):

[Just Interested 2]

I think Zac needs to do something new before he does any remakes, he cannot make his mark doing remakes no matter how good an actor he is. I am sure he would put his heart and sole into any role but I am sure that something different will come before anything else.

[beeee.]

it doesnt say hes going to be in the remake if they do one.

again...

dont do a remake! its a VERY VERY bad idea.

[cblodg]

Okay, let's put the kiabash on this right now. There are NO plans to remake Back to the Future. A media outlet took the quote in the OP and twisted it. Zac said he is a fan, not that he wants to play Marty McFly in a remake.

[beeee.]

^
haha i know.
im just saying. lmfao. noooooooooo.

but it will be a bad idea though

[Linz]

I love back to the future, but yeah a remake would be awful if they ever did one.

[xxxILOVEZACxxx]

I love Back To The Future, but there's no need to make a remake of everything. Hairspray, Footlose, no this. Aren't there any creative writers anymore?

Don't worry, they aren't remaking this. Bob Zameckis and the writer of the series had said a year ago when there were rumors of adding a fourth installment that "[we] like the Back To The Future series just the way it is." Mind you these two gentlement actually own the rights to the story and they have no intentions of allowing anyone to use it's premise or characters in a remake.

Thank goodness, and let's hope it stays that way.

I loved Michael J Fox as Marty McFly, and there is no-one who could take that role on.

I sometimes think these rumours surface regarding iconic films just to test the reaction of the public and fans.

That, and someone had quoted Zac (and taken it out of context, surprise surprise) that he was a huge fan of Back to the Future and when he was younger he and his friends would pretend to be in the time machine when they got into a car.

That also. Zac can't say he likes any film without some magazine or newspaper saying he wants to appear in a remake!

Now that is absolutely true!
