Apparently, Michael J Fox is in talks with relevant folks about a 4th Back to the Future.
I'm buggered if I can remember where exactly I heard this, but it was on TV a couple of days ago, no idea what it was on.
The original trilogy was nothing short of great : so much so, in the recent polls it was the 7th greatest family film of all time. But should it (probably) ruined by adding another, outside the trilogy?
And wouldnt Mr Fox, all due respect, now look older even than Christopher Lloyd?
Has anyone else heard about this and what are your thoughts? I think legends should remain just that, and not reincarnated for the sake of it.

Thats good to hear, thanks.
I only bothered to look into it a bit because I'd heard it from the TV somewhere. Just hard to judge these days.

I don't think Michael J Fox would really be in any kind of state to film another one anyway. Having Parkinsons and all he only really tends to do voice acting now.

He was in the latest series of Scrubs. Maybe he's got one of those cool electronic things that seems to stop the shakes you get with Parkinsons.

How many years has he had Parkinsons ? Surely he can get an L-Dopa fix before filming ?
