Back to the Future Possibly Getting Musical Reboot

Marty McFly may be on his way to the Broadway stage.

Deadline reports that Robert Zemeckis is in talks with co-writer Bob Gale and composer Alan Silvestri to turn the 1985 comedy/sci-fi classic Back to the Future into a stage musical.

Even though Marty sings and plays guitar, a musical is a little surprising — yet, it seems that, of late, no successful franchise stone is left unturned. But, really, any trip to Hill Valley is bound to be pretty good. We're just hoping for original songs like "1.21 Gigawatts" and maybe "I'm Dating Mom and Dad's a Peeping Tom."

The Avengers Getting Top-Notch Musical Score

With an all-star cast of Hollywood heavyweights playing the superheroes and fan-favorite Joss Whedon delivering dialogue and direction, what could The Avengers be lacking — besides the tremendous amount of CGI effects that are currently being worked on in post-production? A triumphant score worthy of "Earth's Mightiest Heroes." Enter: Alan Silvestri. Long rumored to be Marvel's first choice to score The Avengers after his work Captain America: The First Avenger, the two-time Academy Award-winning composer announced that he will be scoring The Avengers by adding it to the Filmography page of his personal website.
