Back in Time Page #3
He was spending a year
Having no control over the content
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
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
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
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
She was just like... I mean,
I played her like a kitty cat in heat.
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.
