I just received "Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy" for an Anniversary gift. I've loved these movies since I could comprehend movies as more than just bright, vibrant colors. Watching them again has made me curious as to who would play these parts if these movies were made today. I'm going to be using mostly "Young Hollywood" using the actors and actresses that I feel would play these parts as memorably as their predecessors. Leave me comments as to who YOU feel should play these parts.
PS. Remaking these movies would be blasphemy, so I hope it NEVER HAPPENS!
Dr. Emmitt "Doc" Brown-John Malkovich
There is NO DOUBT about Mr. Malkovich's acting abilities, and I think he would play the cooky and eccentric "Doc Brown" the best out of all of Hollywood.
Marty McFly-Josh Hutcherson
I don't think many questions will be raised against this rising star. He will be, no doubt, huge in hollywood, sooner, rather than later. He would make the perfect Marty if this were made today.
George McFly-Josh Peck
Josh Peck is an extraordinary actor who will probably never outlive "Drake & Josh." And I think his brand of slapstick and "uncomfortable teenager" would fill out what I would expect from George McFly.
Lorraine Baines (aka "McFly")-Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried........ soooooo dreamy......... and a mighty fine actress.
Biff Tannen-Channing Tatum
Channing Tatum has shown he can be the classic underdog and hero, and has flexed his acting chops in Stop Loss. I think he would make the perfect @$$hole for the Biff character.
Jennifer Parker-Anna Sophia Robb
Another rising star in Hollywood, and I think she would compliment Josh Hutcherson well, as she did in "Bridge to Terabithia."
