Could Marty McFly and the Doc be heading to the Broadway stage? Plans might just be afoot for Back To The Future: the stage show…
Ignore the reports that seem to say from to time that the Broadway musical of Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark has been a failure. In spite of the swathe of negative press, it’s turning into a substantial hit. And perhaps with that in mind, other unlikely properties are being looked at for a stage show.
Next on the radar? If you believe the latest report from Deadline, it might just be Back To The Future that’s set for the stage treatment.
The site reports that director and co-writer Robert Zemeckis has had some early chats with Bob Gale, the other scribe on the Back To The Future films. And it’s a stage version that’s been discussed.
This would be a job for Zemeckis’ ImageMovers company, which is short on work since its expertise in performance capture fell out of favour, off the back of the financial returns of Mars Needs Moms.
It’s early days for the project yet, and we’d suggest that the chances of it happening are bordering on slim. But we’ll certainly keep you posted of any progress.
