Released in 1985, the first Back to the Future flick is a fan-favorite science-fiction movie that is set in the 1980s.

In the film, viewers watch on as an experiment by a weird scientist turns out to be faulty.

The faulty experiment then leads to his teenage pal going back in time to the 1950s where he is forced to reunite the younger version of his parents.

As well as the original movie, there are two sequels to accompany it.

Back to the Future Part II came out in 1989, and Back to the Future Part III came out in 1990.

The movie was co-written by screenwriter Bob Gale, who has now lifted the lid on whether or not fans should expect a sequel to the hit movie in the future.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday at the 52nd annual Saturn Awards in Los Angeles, the 73-year-old film writer fumed when he touched on the subject of another movie.

"People always say, ‘When are you guys going to do Back to the Future 4?’ And we say, ‘F— you!’," he said.

He added: "You can quote me on that," before making light of his outburst.

NO MORE SEQUELS

"No, we made three terrific movies and people kept asking for more Back to the Future.

"So we made Back to the Future: The Musical, which Chris and Lea have attended on several occasions."

He then swooned: “So, my God, Back to the Future, I'm going to be doing it for the rest of my life.

"I love it. Who could ask for anything more, right?"

This came as he, Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson accepted the George Pal Memorial Award at the Saturn Awards.

People always say, ‘When are you guys going to do Back to the Future 4?’ And we say, ‘F— you!’.

Lea, who played Lorraine McFly and the character’s ancestor Maggie McFly, was also quizzed at the event.

SWEET RESPONSE

The actress was asked what it's like to have such enthusiastic fans who adore the franchise and still hold so much excitement for it, with her response incredibly warm and sweet.

"Chris and I have the honor of meeting so many fans in so many places in the world and all over the country," she said.

"And it's just remarkable when we do a talk-back and half the people weren't even born when the movie was made, maybe three-quarters now.

"And it's such an incredible honor, really. It's just something we didn't think was going to happen for us. It's been wonderful," she added.

The franchise's Tony-nominated musical ended its Broadway run just mere weeks ago, and has since moved on to pastures new.

The musical has a North American tour production, a West End production in London and several others due to open around the world later this year, in locations such as Japan, Germany and Australia.
