American Reunion Helmers Go Back to the Future?

American Reunion directors Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg have just inked a two-year deal with Universal. Now the question is, are there any other dormant franchises that the writer-director team are looking to tackle?

According to Moviehole, there is one Uni franchise that they'd like to resurrect -- although they claim to be so terrified of screwing it up that it might just remain a pipe dream.

"We want Back to the Future, just come out and say it", Hurwitz nudged Scholssberg into admitting. "That's our favourite trilogy. We're always having this conversation."

Said Schlossberg, "I wouldn't want to do it now because people would be like, 'Oh, there's no way it will be as good as the original.' But 30 years from now when Spielberg's, like, 90 and those guys are kind of on their way out, and those movies just look really old because we're watching movies that are old, literally in two dimensions or something, it would be great to have all these classics that you're able to remake."

Having said that, Hurwitz and Schlossberg agree that they almost always prefer sequels to remakes. "I personally would far rather a sequel, unless it's something that is so old that the general movie going public hasn't really seen the movie, and then you could consider it a reboot," said Schlossberg.

In either case, what do you think? Would you like to see a followup featuring the iconic DeLorean duo? Or should the American Reunion helmers pump the brakes? Sound off in the comments below!
