This week marks the 30th Anniversary of Back to the Future, which seems like a perfect time to wonder if Hollywood has any plans on remaking it. Ask Robert Zemeckis, and the answer is a flat out “no”.

We also dig into PTA’s weird new job writing Robert Downey Jr.’s Pinocchio script, as well as look at some anticipated fall trailers.
