Back to the Future Remake: Tom Holland Says There Have Been 'Conversations'

Tom Holland said that somebody has talked to him about a Back to the Future remake, but he ultimately feels it's unnecessary to make considering the original is "one of the most perfect films" ever made. Holland recently appeared on BBC Radio 1 and was talking about his new movie Onward and one of the movie's themes of being yourself and not fake. The interviewer brought up the viral deep fake of Holland and his Marvel co-star Robert Downey Jr. replacing Marty McFly and Doc Brown from Back to the Future. The interviewer asked Holland how quickly he would deny a Back to the Future remake if he was ever asked to do it. "I’d be lying if I said there hadn’t been conversations in the past about doing some sort of remake, but that film is the most perfect film — or one of the most perfect films, one that could never be made better," Holland told BBC Radio 1. "That said, if Downey and I could just shoot that one scene that they remade for fun — he could pay for it cause he’s got loads of money — I would do it for my fee and we could remake that scene. I think we owe it to deep fake because they did such a good job."

And then I’m sure they’ll do it, unless there’s a way our estates can stop it." He continued, “I mean, to me, that’s outrageous. Especially since it’s a good movie. It’s like saying ‘Let’s remake Citizen Kane. Who are we going to get to play Kane?’ What folly, what insanity is that? Why would anyone do that?” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2015/06/30/director-says-no-back-to-the-future-remake-ign-news"] Back to the Future recently placed on IGN's best summer blockbusters of all time and IGN's top 25 sci-fi movies.
