What If Back to the Future Part IV Happened?

The creators of the Back to the Future franchise have said for decades that a fourth installment will never be made. But what if that wasn't the case? How could we write a workable sequel to one of the greatest trilogies in film history? Find out, as FanScription travels to a timeline where Back to the Future Part IV actually happened.

What else would you like to see on a future FanScription episode?

Imagine if this movie would’ve been made, it could’ve came out on Back to the Future Day (October 21, 2015)? Imagine how great that would’ve been?

"Make like a tree and grow" Nice touch on Biff's headstone

[xerodeus]

it would be so hearbreaking if they tried to reboot this movie or create a 4th one... it's just way too classic and iconic. And just so perfect in its own way.

[DasObscure]

The dynamic was already flipped in BttF3 with Doc falling in love and acting slightly like an irresponsible/illogical teenager ("I'll stay here with Clara" or "let's take her with us") and Marty keeping him grounded. One thing that also showcases this is how Marty goes "great Scott!" and Doc responds with "yeah, this is heavy" 😝

[TheUnholyHandGrenade]

"Doc, is that really you?"
"...Great Scott!"
"Yeah, that's you."

Not gonna lie, that would have gotten a chuckle out of me in the theater if this were real.

That whole "Temporal Duplicate" thing, that just blew my mind

[BulletBeez]

The Telltale game honestly does a great job at a "4th movie" Most if not all actors reprise their roles, it takes place after 3, and it has Marty going even further back in time AND we see another bad present day. They worked with Robert Zemeckis and Bob Dale to make it, too. and they both said that the game was the only way they wanted to make the story because of how much care went into it. I love that game so much.

[GameArchon]

This is actually a lot better than I was expecting. But Biff’s father needs a scene where he lands into manure. Imo, that’s a classic staple that can’t be left out.

When he frees Marty, he should hold him by his chest, and say something along the lines of “Alright, you owe me bigtime, butthead!”

Then they exchange more dialogue, and Marty pulls his classic “Hey, what’s that?” *BAM!!*

Biff’s father chases him, but lands in a manure processing plant. “I hate Then he gets arrested, and that’s why biff lives with his grandma.

I WAS the VERY LAST PERSON TO RIDE the "BACK TO THE FUTURE RIDE" at Universal Studios back in 2007! I got a T-Shirt and My picture taken and I was in the News Papers!
VERY COOL! :D

[smoore]

This isn't even a real movie, why am I tearing up at doc's farewell letter? Bravo sir!

[Elimnr]

As a big fan of BTTF, I truly enjoyed your scenario. However, I think another installment this late would've hurt the franchise more than do good. I've always wondered 'what if', but your version topped anything I could dream up. Thank you!

[illannoyed]

I love that dialogue where Marty is trying to convince alternate Doc to give up on his “evil” plan. That felt the most like a scene from the original trilogy. An interesting idea to explore may be alternate Doc’s plan succeeding but instead of destroying everything as we are lead to expect, it corrects the space time continuum.

[naughter]

Short answer: My Back to the Future marathons would be longer.

[ThatDudeWithBoobs]

"Is that really you?"
"GREAT SCOTT!!"
"Yeah, that's you."

My heart~

[rockincarbonara]

Although I would love that a fourth part of BTTF would be created, I believe that certain masterpieces are only successful during the period they have been made. BTTF was at the right time and the right place, when the audience was able to connect with the characters emotionally and a certain identification was possible. Today’s audience would probably not understand all the backgrounds. BTTF is probably a matter of a generation, wich was lucky enough to enjoy those movies at the time of their birth. Nevertheless, this “fanscription” is absolute stunning! You man, have a wonderful sense of phantasy and storytelling! Big compliments from Germany!

[tonygrillo]

Really liked your story. I like EB being a kid and Marty being like EB

[DieselCreek]

I was with you in the beginning... never wanted a but now I really REALLY Want them to make absolutely incredible dude!!!! Pitch it to the big

[chrislupica]

We all know there won’t be a 4th movie and we also know the telltale games were awesome, but I think this was a good story. If it actually happened this way and it had as many original actors as possible, I’d see it as a faithful installment. Nicely done!

"Is that really you?"
