I once asked what media franchises need to just stop, that have run their time. Now I want to know which ones DID stop, and could be restarted with new content.

I always thought that every 30 years they should reboot back to the future. No connection to the original in terms of production team or cast. The writer and director can’t be old enough to have many memories of the time (Zemeckis and Gale were both 4 in 1955)

Just someone doing their own take on “teenager goes back in time and meets their parents as teenagers”

See how the “past” of 30 years ago compares to the “present” of the previous version

Long term, that could be a really interesting experiment

I seem to remember that bttf has some kind of binding agreement or such that someone from the og movies put into place that they can’t/won’t reboot it.

We did get the adventure game from telltale. Which was pretty good. (Did a lot of stuff with the storyline and it had og cast doing voices).

Since 2016, I've wanted a Back To The Future remake just to have a scene where Doc Brown disbelieves Donald Trump is president like the original had him disbelieve Ronald Reagan was president

Do we also remake bttf2, so you can see what people think 30 years into the future is like?

Too depressing and a whole other genre.
