AceShowbiz - Ever since the triumphant release of the original "Back to the Future" trilogy, fans have been clamoring for a fourth movie. However, co-creator Bob Gale isn't having it. At a recent Saturn Awards press conference, where he received the George Pal Memorial Award, Gale made his stance clear.

"People always say, 'When are you guys gonna do Back to the Future 4?' And we say, 'F*** you. You can quote me on that,' " Gale bluntly stated.

Gale and fellow co-creator Robert Zemeckis have made it abundantly clear that a fourth film is not in the cards. "We made three terrific movies, and people kept asking for more Back to the Future, so we made Back to the Future: The Musical," Gale explained.

The musical has been remarkably successful, making waves in London's West End and on Broadway, and it continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

"My God, 'Back to the Future,' I'm going to be doing it for the rest of my life," Gale exclaimed at the press conference.

Despite steadfastly rejecting the idea of another movie, Gale has involved himself in numerous spin-off projects, ensuring the story lives on in various forms.

Beyond the musical, he has contributed to "Back to the Future: The Animated Series", a 2010s video game by Telltale, and a comic book series in 2015. There's also a particularly nostalgic short film "Doc Brown Saves the World," included in the 30th anniversary box set.

Zemeckis also echoed similar sentiments on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, reiterating that while he has no interest in a fourth movie, he envisions a film adaptation of the "Back to the Future" musical someday. "I floated that out to the folks at Universal. They don't get it. So, [there's] nothing I can do," he remarked.

Even actor Michael J. Fox, who famously portrayed Marty McFly, sees no need for a new film or a reboot. "I don't think it needs to be rebooted because are you going to clarify something? You're going to find a better way to tell the story? I doubt it," Fox told Variety.

While co-star Christopher Lloyd, who played the iconic Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown, has been more open to the idea, he, too, acknowledges the completeness of the trilogy. "If somebody has a brilliant idea that would justify a fourth film, it might happen," he once said.

The future of "Back to the Future" may not lie in another sequel, but the beloved franchise will continue delighting fans through its musical tours, special projects, and other creative endeavors. To fans eager for more, Gale's clear message remains: the story has been told, and it's time to explore new ways of keeping the magic alive.
