Talking to the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via Variety), Zemeckis revealed that Universal has been badgering him about a fourth Back to the Future movie, to which he says he isn’t interested. “You know, we have to say, ‘There are different things that might work.’ Something like that, you know? But to remake the movie or to suggest that there’s a ‘Back to the Future 4,’ it just isn’t in the cards,” said Zemeckis.

What Zemeckis would love to tackle though, is a musical. Last year saw the premiere of Back to the Future: The Musical on Broadway, and has since been considered a great companion piece to the original movie. Zemeckis explained, “I would like to do the ‘Back to the Future: The Musical’ [movie]. I would love to do that… I think that would be great. I floated that out to the folks at Universal. They don’t get it. So, [there’s] nothing I can do.”

With Zemeckis being so protective of Back to the Future, I have a bad feeling that Universal is just waiting for him to die before they can start developing a reboot; but I think the movie has aged pretty well, and the way that franchises like Ghostbusters have kind of leaned on the nostalgia train, I think it’s fine that nobody touch BTTF for now.

In the meantime, watch out for Zemeckis other time travel movie Here now in theaters.

Check out the eerie trailer for Presence:

The teaser is basically just a slow zoom in of a woman sleeping, but the captions just slowly get creepier with them reading “In this house, she will feel love,” then “In this house she will feel loss,” to “In this house she will feel fear”, and finally ending with “In this house she will feel a—“ then smash cut to the title reveal of Presence.

We don’t know anything about the plot of the movie, besides that there’s a mysterious presence in the house. It’s also said that the movie will also have a first-person perspective to add to the creep factor of just what this entity is.

If I’m being honest, the movie does feel a lot like Robert Zemeckis’ upcoming film Here which also has the same kind of premise of a story just taking place from one POV. However, Presence does move the camera around, and it definitely looks like it’s going to be a creepy movie.

Though Soderbergh isn’t best known for horror, some do say that the best horror films often come from directors that don’t specialize in it at all. Who would have thought that Jordan Peele would be such an effective horror filmmaker after a long background in comedy?

Watch out for Presence when it comes to cinemas this January 2025.

According to Vanity Fair, the story is said to take place in only one location with a fixed camera angle that will not move or zoom in. Instead, we’re going to get glimpses of things from different eras and where they were in the actual space that the movie is set in.

Tom Hanks and Robin Wright reunite with their "Forrest Gump" director Robert Zemeckis for the century-spanning "Here," in which they are de-aged by decades and also appear in their 80s via makeup effects.

The movie is actually an adaptation of a 2014 graphic novel from Richard McGuire, and it should give fans an idea of what to expect when it comes to the movie’s storytelling technique. You can check it out here.

The story of here is said to take place around the course of a 100 years, and though the living room is the main setting for the film, we’ll be able to see the space even before a house was built in it, and when Native American tribes would occupy the space. The movie is said to tell the story of multiple families who had occupied the space, but one of the main arcs will be that of Richard (Hanks) and Margaret (Wright) who will have lived their whole lives in the home.

Other members of the cast include Paul Bettany, Kelly Reilly, Michelle Dockery, Ophelia Lovibond, and Gwilym Lee.

Admittedly, Zemeckis has been criticized for putting too much focus on technical milestones as compared to actually telling a story, but it does seem like Here has a very interesting angle when it comes to the narrative it wants to sell.

Sure, there are some doubts when it comes to the use of AI and de-aging actors, but I think that’s all a necessary part in pulling off the film’s visual language. Then again, I’m just speculating; until we get the first trailer, all we can do is guess.

Catch Here when it releases in theatres on Nov. 15.
