(Oct. 21, 2015 is the date that that Marty McFly and Dr Emmett ‘Doc’ Brown chose to travel forward in time to in “Back To The Future”.)
Zemeckis ruled out any future additions to “Back.” “It is a well-made trilogy, and will stay that way,” he said. But willing to play some things forward, he expressed optimism for the future of cinema.

Brad Pitt To Star In Untitled Romantic Thriller From Robert Zemeckis
6 February 2015 12:36 PM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Paramount Pictures has announced today that one of their next top-shelf projects has locked in Brad Pitt to star with Robert Zemeckis set to direct. A co-op production that also includes Gk Films and New Regency, the movie has been described as a “sweeping romantic thriller” based on an original screenplay by Steve Knight.

The fact that two of the industry’s biggest names, Pitt and Zemeckis, are making one of his scripts is a big deal. After all, he also penned Locke and Eastern Promises, both solid character-based pieces, so this new talented crew ought to steer his newest script back on course.
Aside from the fact that the film is described as “epic” and “sweeping,” there’s not much else to go on. »
