Back in Time Page #3

He was spending a year

Having no control over the content

he was expected to invest in.

And he came off of that job,

and he just made,

In his opinion, the most kind of

sacrilegious thing he could do.

For him, the equivalent

of Mickey mouse Pluto.

But who cares about Mickey mouse

and Pluto in this generation?

I don't know if the writers know more than

they're telling... than is clear in the movie

About how this teenage guitarist ended up

hanging out with this bankrupt scientist.

People would start wondering, "gee, is doc

brown, like, a child molester or something?"

But back in the day,

nobody ever thought about that.

The infectious

character of Marty McFly,

And his positivity,

and his high spirits.

The crazy doc brown.

That two-hander

between McFly and brown,

That's like laurel and hardy.

That's like Abbott and Costello.

I mean, those guys

will go down in history

As the best two for one

since hope and Crosby.

So Zemeckis and gale really

found lightning in a bottle.

And lightning in a bottle, you know,

tends to stick around for a long time.

We took it around

to every studio in town,

And they would all say, "it's very nice.

It's very sweet.

"Why don't you guys

take it to Disney?"

"It's a time-Travel movie, and time-Travel

movies don't make any money."

Everybody said, "oh, you can't

make time-Travel movies.

Well, you just don't make bad

time-Travel movies. You make a good one.

So finally, after we

heard that about 15 or 20 times,

Bob and I kind of shrugged, said, "well,

what the hell? Let's take it to Disney."

So we submitted it to Disney.

We took a meeting over there.

And the exec at Disney,

we walk into his office,

And he looks at us

like we're completely insane.

He says, "are you guys nuts?

"We can't make this movie here.

We're Disney,

"And you guys have

written a movie about incest."

So, it was nice and sweet for

everybody else except Disney,

And for them, it was taboo.

Marty, I'm almost 18 years old.

It's not like

I've never parked before.

Lorraine McFly is

essentially in love with her own son,

Which I thought was hilarious.

And I always have had a kind

of subversive sense of humor.

So I definitely got it

when I got the part.

But I really loved

the crazy aspect of that.

She was just like... I mean,

I played her like a kitty cat in heat.

And I still think it's funny

that people think

I'm, like, so white bread,

and sweet, and cute

When I'm really known for a part

where I wanted to sleep with my son.

You know what I do

in those situations?

What?

Steven Spielberg

always liked it.

But we'd made three pictures

with Steven,

And none had made

any money at the box office.
