      'Back to the Future' Screenwriter Bob Gale Happy for Cubs, But Bummed a Good Joke Is Now Spoiled

      By Ryan Parker, The Hollywood Reporter The Chicago Cubs’ lousy luck made for a great gag in Back to the Future: Part II, one that screenwriter Bob Gale always loved. But now thing’s have changed and that’s OK, he says.  On Wednesday night, the Cubs won their first World Series title since 1908, only one year off from the 2015 victory Gale and Back to the Future director Robert Zemeckis predicted in their 1989 time-traveling sequel, starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. ...

The paper came out following Back to the Future Day on Wednesday, dubbed that because it was the exact date Marty and Doc travel to from 1985 in the second installment of the trilogy.

      What Ronald Reagan's Cabinet from 'Back to the Future' Would've Looked Like

      Today’s celebration of #BacktoFutureDay has been all about Back to the Future Part II and the crazy predictions it imagined by the year 2015: hoverboards, Jaws 19, a Chicago Cubs World Series win, etc. But let’s flash back, for a moment, to the original Back to the Future — specifically, the scene in which Marty McFly (Matthew J. Fox) informs Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) that he’s traveled back in time from the year 1985. It’s 1955, and Doc is flabbergasted to hear Marty claim that Ronald Reagan, the actor, has become President of the United States in the year he comes from.

      The 76-year-old actor still finds regular excuses to reprise his best-loved role — and now that Back to the Future Day is upon us (that being Oct. 21, 2015, the future date our heroes travel to in 1989’s Back to the Future Part II), we have an excuse to revisit all of Lloyd’s Doc Brown cameos. As gamblers spend their coins matching up pixelated electric guitars, bicycles, and pictures of Marty’s mom, Doc pops up to say encouraging things like, “Perhaps that could have gone a little better, but in 1885 dollars, you’re rich!”  2007: Christopher Lloyd is digitally inserted into his Back to the Future scenes for a DirecTV ad, meaning that future Doc Brown is in present-day Hill Valley, as seen in the past.

      ‘Back to the Future’ Bully Biff Tannen Was Indeed Based On Donald Trump

      By Alyssa Fiske As anyone who has seen Back to the Future knows, Biff Tannen is one bad dude. Things escalate in Back to the Future Part II, after Biff steals the DeLorean and travels back in time to change his life and become “America’s greatest living folk hero.” Biff becomes an ultra-rich, combover-sporting, “God bless America” parroting, misogynist who keeps getting married… hey… this guy sounds awfully familiar… Related: The Internet Is Having So Much Fun With ‘Back To The Future’ Day Sorry, haters and losers, but it’s true: Donald Trump was the inspiration for Biff Tannen in Part II. In an interview with The Daily Beast to celebrate “Back to the Future Day,” screenwriter David Gale confirmed your sneaking suspicion that that hairdo was no accident.

On the bright side, there are two huge new books and a new documentary coming out that can help us look back on producer Steven Spielberg and director Robert Zemeckis’s iconic sci-fi film franchise. Everyone knows the basic behind-the-scenes stories — like Michael J. Fox replacing Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly midway through filming — but the books We Don’t Need Roads and Back to the Future: The Ultimate Visual History, along with the new doc Back in Time, offer up many more deep-dive details.

The actor, best known for his television roles on Parks and Recreation (as club-king Jean Ralphio) and House of Lies (as arrogant consultant Clyde Obertholdt), scored not only his biggest dramatic film role yet when he was cast as Albert in The Walk, but it was being helmed by one of his all-time favorite filmmakers. “Robert Zemeckis is kind of my hero,” Schwartz told Yahoo Movies in the video interview above. “My favorite movies of all time are — Back to the Future is No. 1, and then Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
