Good news, Hollywood are remaking tonnes of classic films… and they’ve asked YOU to be the casting agent.
First up is Back to the Future.
Who do you think should play Marty McFly and Doc Brown?
Please show your working.

Never really saw any of the classic 80s kids films when I was a kid then watched a couple when I was a bit older (the goonies, ferris bueller) and didn’t like them so didn’t bother with any of the others
Marti - Hailee steinfeld
Doc - idris Elba

tbf, the Goonies and Ferris Bueller aren’t actually that good, compared to the likes of BTTF.

Hailee Steinfeld would be really good as Marty.
Not sure about Elba though - I’ve never seen him do manic without looking too threatening.
Emma Thompson as Doc Brown might work, if you were completely gender-swapping the cast.
