No chance of Back To The Future reboot - producer

Marty McFly won't be going 'Back To The Future', according to his co-creator.

The producer and co-writer of the Back To The Future trilogy has quashed suggestions there will ever be another screen version of the time travel classic.

Bob Gale said despite being courted by studio executives to reboot the beloved Marty McFly franchise it will not happen, according to an interview with Yahoo.

"Let's face it, we've seen a lot of sequels that are made years and year later and I don't think I can name that's any good," Gale said.

"I don't think you can recapture it."

Gale co-wrote the scripts with Robert Zemeckis after wondering whether he would have been friends with his father had he attended school with him.

Despite initially being rejected by various studios, when the film was eventually released in 1985 it became the most successful film of the year, grossing more than $383 million worldwide and receiving critical acclaim.

The trilogy remains a global phenomenon and has spawned an animated series, theme park ride, various computer games - and an upcoming musical.

Gale and Zemeckis are currently working together again on the material, which it was announced will be released in 2015 - although Gale told Yahoo that this was categorically not true.

Composer Alan Silvestri, who worked on the film trilogy, will write the music. Gale is writing the book and producer Greg Ballard, who co-write hits such as Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror", writing the lyrics.
