‘The film wouldn’t even be made today’: the story behind Back to the Future at 40
“If you made Back to the Future in 2025 and they went back 30 years, it would be 1995 and nothing would look that different,” Thompson, 64, says by phone from a shoot in Vancouver, Canada. “The phones would be different but it wouldn’t be like the strange difference between the 80s and the 50s and how different the world was.”
She can’t be serious? Style would be different. The internet wasn’t really a thing yet. Advertising wasn’t as prolific. Cell phones barely existed in normal every day life. Cars were half the size. Of course things would look different. At the very least, the people would look thinner.
i think they could have said it would have been less of a visual difference if it was made today. Fashion and design i think changed more from 50s-80s than it did 90s-2020s, and visuals are a huge part of making movies. But the author didn’t do a good job of making that case.
Also we did have Wonder Woman 1984. Granted the time travel was shoehorned into a superhero movie but it was almost exactly the time jump in question.
Seriously, what a shit take. 🤌🏼
