Sorry folks, but please ignore all the hoopla across the internet the past 48 hours - 17 Agains Zac Efron is NOT going to be starring in a Back to the Future sequel nor remake despite the reports that he's a huge fan of the series and even owns his own DeLorean.
Internet rumors abound that Efron is set to replace Michael J. Fox as "Marty McFly", but the so-called quotes from Efron to TeenHollywood.com appear to be taken completely out of context. The High School Musical star simply told the site that he was a big fan of the series and used to re-enact scenes from the trilogy with his friends while growing up. "Growing up, my favorite thing to do was to climb into the car and play Back to the Future," admits Efron. "I would pretend I was Marty McFly."
Bob Gale recently gave BTTF.com an official statement regarding BTTF sequels and remakes, so unless you read a retraction of this statement from Bob on this site, consider all rumors with a grain of salt.
