November 12, 1955 - a seminal date for film fans, as that's the date of the famous Hill Valley lightning storm in Back to the Future. It's the night that Marty McFly invents rock-and-roll at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance after getting his parents together and before using the Delorean to go back home to 1985.
It's also the date that Old Biff returns to when he delivers a sports almanac from the future to his younger self, and act that is responsible for an alternate 1985 that Marty and Doc have to undo in Back to the Future Part II.
So to celebrate that monumental day, I've written a piece over at Film School Rejects called "The Long, Troubled Future History of Back to the Future Part IV." Yes, it's a look at the production history of the future sequel, 2015's most anticipated tentpole - Back to the Future Part IV.
Also, I neglected to plug this last week, but I had another piece up there recently called "Must There Be a Wonder Woman Movie?"
Part 4 is the one where the Delorean has been replaced with a refrigerator.
