Brad Pitt Also Circling Damien Chazelle's Period Hollywood 'Babylon' With Emma Stone
'Back To The Future' Heading To Broadway?

EXCLUSIVE: Will Robert Zemeckis' 1985 classic Back To The Future become the latest film to get a Broadway stage production? I'm told that Zemeckis is in early talks with his co-writer Bob Gale and the film's composer Alan Silvestri to explore a stage transfer. A stage musical would be an intriguing way to reintroduce a franchise which, over three films, grossed nearly $1 billion worldwide. Zemeckis' ImageMovers would be involved if this goes forward. The time travel film, which starred Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, holds up as well as the other live-action films Zemeckis directed. I'm still pissed that Universal scrapped the theme park ride based on the film. Silvestri, by the way, composed the music for such Zemeckis films as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump and Cast Away.
