There are rumors that Warner Bros. is ready to bring JJ Abrams back behind the camera. The director could direct a ‘homage’ to the cult Back to the Future, starring Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning.
Directly from the corridors of Warner Bros. they pop up indiscretions sensational that involve JJ Abrams. The director, who has disappeared from the radar for a few years now, is said to be on the verge of returning behind the camera. And with a decidedly ambitious project: a gift to Back to the Future. Before you protest (or remain speechless), wait a moment: the film is in the works it is neither a remake nor a sequel of the legendary trilogy with protagonist Michael J. Fox.
Rumor has it that the comeback of Abrams as director will focus “on a young man who travels through time”. In the last few hours, Daniel Richtman has returned to talking about the potential feature film, adding new and unexpected details. The insider not only confirmed that there is one film script In the dockyard. But also that the star of Abrams’ ‘homage’ to the masterpiece of Robert Zemeckis will be Timothée Chalamet.
The casting is plausible since the actor has signed a new contract with Warner Bros. The star of Wonka And Dunesis currently busy on the set of A Complete Unknownin which he plays Bob Dylan. That his next commitment will be the mysterious film of JJ Abrams? Furthermore, if the rumors were confirmed, Chalamet would find himself at his side Elle Fanningalready co-starring in A Rainy Day in New York Of Woody Allen and in the musical biopic directed by James Mangold just mentioned.
Fanning, after all, is also an old acquaintance of JJ Abrams, who directed her in the science fiction Super 8 (2011). Of course, in the absence of official confirmation from Warner Bros., it is premature to express an opinion or form an idea on the project. Certainly, even just mentioning the untouchable Back to the Future entails the risk of finding yourself faced with hordes of cinephiles with a knife between their teeth ready to take to the streets.
The fact that Abrams does not intend to take the easy path of reboot it’s comforting. Also because the mere idea of Chalamet as modern Marty McFly is enough to spark an insurrection. At the same time, the New York director’s solid experience with 360-degree science fiction can legitimately give rise to hope. To find out what exactly we should expect, without hastily jumping to conclusions, we will have to have the patience to acquire official information.
