Michael J. Fox Says It Would Take ‘A LOT Of Money’ To Get Him Back In The DeLorean

Robert Zemeckis recently revealed that as long as he and co-creator Bob Gale are alive, a Back to the Future reboot is completely out of the question. (Hollywood: “So, what you’re saying is there’s a chance!”) Star Michael J. Fox is also not enthused about the prospect of a reboot or sequel, as he said at a panel at the London Film and Comic-Con this past weekend, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the film. (Reminder: WE’RE ALL OLD.)

Fox’s reasoning was different, however. Radio Times was on hand at the convention and reports that his major issue with stepping back into Marty McFly’s shoes has more to do with that f*cking car and its dumb gull-wing doors than anything else.

“I wish I had a video, a gag reel of how many times I was hit by that freakin’ door, the DeLorean door,” Fox said today at the Back to the Future 30th anniversary reunion at the London Film and Comic-Con, where he appeared alongside fellow cast members including Lea Thompson and Christopher Lloyd. “Take after take, it would go, WHACK!”

“It was the worst thing to drive,” Fox said. “It had two gears and I slammed the door, and my hand would smash into the flux capacitor. My hand would be bleeding, my head would be bleeding… and I had to clean it off to get to the Family Ties set.”

“The money it would take to get me back into the DeLorean again is a LOT,” he concluded.

If they ever did reboot Back to the Future, you know they would pick some stupid new car to be the time machine, like a Mini Cooper or whatever car company’s marketing department was willing to shell out the most money. In other words, pray for the continued good health of Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale.
