After the massive success of Back to the Future Day, which saw the re-release of the trilogy on Oct. 22, for one day only. According to the report there are no plans for a reboot, as exciting as the prospect might sound.

"The film can't happen without his approval, and he doesn't want to do a remake or a redo," he said.
In fact Zemeckis has himself very absolutely stated that this will not happen in the past. In an interview with The Telegraph, the director was dead against the idea. "That can't happen until both Bob (Gale) and I are dead. And then I'm sure they'll do it, unless there's a way our estates can stop it," he said.
The special re-release of the movie, raked in hige bucks making it a massive success. According to Deadline, the trilogy played on 1,815 domestic screens and set the cash register ringing, making $1.65 million in America and $3.2 million internationally.
The day was chosen as Oct. 21 was the day that Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) travel to in 1989's Back To The Future Part II.
