was... ...that originally Marty's mother's name was not Lorraine. It was Meg. Remember that? That's right. He didn'tlike that name, so he said, "Name her Lorraine. " Coincidentally, his wife's name is Lorraine. So we knew how to pick our battles. I think Sid's comment was that nobody was going to see a movie with the word "future" in the title. So we decided that was the one. We would give up the others. We changed the chimp to a dog and the names. But we stuck to Back to the Future. Then, afterwards, we were having a meeting, a celebratory meeting... ...in Sid's office, after the movie was a giantsuccess. We said, "Well, you see, Sid? People went to the movie. " And he says, "Yes. But I'll never know if I was right or not, will I?" And I guess not. Bob Gale, can you actually reveal what the alternate title was? Well, the alternate title.... This got hot and heavy during the production and postproduction... ...of the movie because we'd given Sid what he wanted on these otherissues... ...and he kept on this. And he decided that the hip title for the movie should be Spaceman from Pluto. And that's because of the comic book that the kid has in the barn... ...Space Zombies from Pluto. Sid actually sent us a memo where he outlined certain changes... ...thatshould be made in the movie to reflect this new title Spaceman from Pluto. One of them was thatinstead of Marty saying, "I'm Darth Vader from the Planet Vulcan"... ...he should say, "I'm from the planet Pluto. " There were one or two other things like that. Bob and I got this memo, and we were really scared and worried... ...because he meantit. You gotta be careful about the kind of fights thatyou pick... ...with the head of the company. He wasn'tjust the head of the studio, he was the head of the company. Everyone at Universal thought Back to the Future was a great title, except for Sid. So we went to Steven with this memo, because Steven had been copied on it... ...and we said, "Steven, what are we gonna do? He really means it. "He really wants to change the title. " And Steven, in this one solution to the problem... ...I think earned all the money that he made off of all these movies. He wrote a memo back to Sheinberg, and he said: "Dear Sid, thank you so much foryour most humorous memo. "We really all got a big laugh out ofit. " Steven knew that Sid was too proud to admit that he'd meantitseriously and we never.... That was the end ofit. Going back to the time machine itself, what convinced you to choose the DeLorean? Thejoke in the barn, because.... That's what my memory is. We backed itinto thatjoke because we thought a car from.... What would really look like a spaceship landing in the barn in the '50s? We said, "Hey, a DeLorean's got these gull-wing doors. "That'll really look like a futuristic machine from outerspace. " -And that was basically it. -And it was stainless steel. And we had no idea there'd be all this cocaine controversy... ...and it would be such an infamous car when we wrote thejoke. We actually got a fan letter from John DeLorean after the movie came out. Hejustsent us this glowing letter, how much he enjoyed the movie... ...and thanked us for keeping his dream alive, and said that any of the people... ...that worked on the carin the movie could have ajob on his design team. Can you explain why you don't really go into the back story... ...of the relationship between Doc Brown and Marty? We never really thought aboutit. We thought that the familiarity of him... ...being able to just walk into his lab.... Actually, you know what? We always saw it as... ...the way Leave It to Beaver was with Gus the Fireman. Beaver always had the Fireman that he could go to, as basically like his therapist. And he went there and he would tell him about all the problems he was having with his family. We always said, "Let's have a relationship... "... between Marty ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Кавказский пленник на английском - текст В то же время, в следующем году на английском - текст Доходный дом Иккоку на английском - текст Перегон на английском - текст Светлячок на английском |
