Lea Thompson shared her ideas on adapting the recent musical of 1985’s Back to the Future into a feature film, saying her direction would pass the torch to a new generation.
Thompson, who played Lorraine McFly in the famous sci-fi adventure trilogy, told Movieweb in a recent interview that she’d prefer to not reprise her role for Back to the Future — The Musical and suggested her daughter for the role instead.
“They would not ask me because I’m way too old,” she said. “I know everyone always asks me if there’s gonna be a sequel. And there won’t be. There won’t be a reboot. But I’m pretty sure they’re probably already working on making a movie of the musical. That’s my opinion, and I’m sticking with it. I don’t know anything like that, but that’s my opinion.”
Thompson suggested her daughter, actress Zoey Deutch, would be a better fit to play Lorraine. “I’d be all for it,” she said. “I’m not sure what her opinion would be. But she is a really good singer. She sang in The Politician, and she’s a great actress. So I think it would be a funny meta thing to do. They could put Michael Fox’s son in it. And they could put my dog in it. And then they’ll let me direct it. If Bob Zemeckis doesn’t want to, I could direct it.”
Thompson’s directing credits include episodes of Stargirl, Katy Keene, Young Sheldon, Mom, The Goldbergs and Switched at Birth.
Earlier this year, Back to the Future — The Musical held previews in Manchester, England, but closed in March due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The musical is currently scheduled to transfer to London in 2021.
