Before opting for the iconic Delorean, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale had a very different idea when developing the time machine Return to the future.
There is no doubt that Return to the future It is one of the most iconic cinematographic sagos in the history of cinema, where Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis developed one of the best stories about time trips with Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd at the head of the cast.
The plot of this trilogy of Movies It starts with Marty McFly, a teenager who is as a friend of Emmet “Doc” Brown, a scientist who everyone takes for a crashing. One night Doc cites Marty in the parking lot of a shopping center to show him his last invention: a time machine built in a delorean.
But Unexpected events cause Marty to accidentally travel to the year 1955 and without wanting to interfere at the moment in which their parents were going to know each other, causing that in the future it does not come to exist. Marty will have to get her parents to fall in love before she disappears from existence while finding the way to return to 1985.
Thus, one of the most beloved sagas was started by science fiction fans that soon became one of the greatest referents in terms of time travel gender.
Part of its epic lies in Delorean, the vehicle used to represent the time machine manufactured by Doc Brown And that has become one of the most iconic objects of the genre with authentic relics such as the latest, the blue cabin of Doctor Who.
However, originally Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale did not have the delorean in mind as the film’s time machine. Moreover, they didn’t even think of a vehicle as such.
Return to the future I was going to have a fridge as a time machine
As you remember Comicbook, Originally Zemeckis and Gale had a fridge like the time machine of Return to the future. The original idea of the film was that Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) would have to get into the fridge, this would be loaded into a truck and then a nuclear explosion would turn it on and send the boy to the past.
Already the initial idea was quite strange, but the reason they ended up discarding it was because of the reaction of the children to see the film, since Many could imitate what they saw on screen and get into the fridge.
This was a problem since, at that time, many refrigerators had security pestillos, which implied that, once closed, they could not open from the inside and would be a tragedy if any child was locked up inside trying to imitate Marty.
Thus, they finally opted for a vehicle as a time machine, and Delorean was chosen for being a model that was soon going to be obsolete, which meant that in the future it would be remembered as the car of Return to the future. And of course they were not mistaken.
