    You couldnt make back to the future today because their future is already in our past, their future (2015) is already 9 years ago now

      I can’t tell if the thread has some sort of running gag or if you’re actually confused by the concept.

      You don’t have to make the future 2015. You don’t have to make the past 1955. You’re making the film, today, not when it was actually made, thats the entire point of the prompt.

        I feel like the future being 2015 is extremely in line with the gag.

          I feel like the future being 2055 is extremely in line with the gag. Because we make the movie in 2025. And the plot is going 30 years into the future.
