Back To The Future’s Lorraine Actor Revisits Iconic Location In Cheeky Photo

Back to the Future‘s Lorraine actor Lea Thompson revisits an iconic location from the movie in a cheeky new post. Premiered in 1985, Robert Zemeckis’ classic follows Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) as he inadvertently time travels alongside eccentric scientist Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) to 1955 and must ensure his parents get together after he alters key events. Thompson plays Lorraine, Marty’s depressed, alcoholic mother whose life is changed for the better by Marty’s antics.

In a photo shared to her Twitter, Thompson revisits an iconic location from the Back to the Future movies. Check out her post below:

Thompson poses in front of the fictional Hill Valley’s City Hall in the photo, captioning it with “Where am I? Xo.” Though it no longer belongs to Hill Valley, the location is still recognizable.

Back To The Future: What’s Next For The Franchise?

Back To The Future Is Flourishing In Many Ways

As one of the most influential films of the ’80s, Back to the Future spawned two sequels. Though a continuation of the first movie, the two sequels were not as well-received by critics. However, they were still successful at the box office. The third and final film, Back to the Future Part III, did better than the original sequel, which was criticized for its confusing and complicated storyline. As for a fourth Back to the Future, creators Zemeckis and Bob Gale are adamant about not approving a movie reboot.

Nevertheless, Back to the Future continued. CBS aired an animated television series between 1991 and 1992, following Doc’s and Marty’s adventures through numerous historical periods. To commemorate the movie’s 30th anniversary in 2015, a direct-to-DVD short film was released, Doc Brown Saves the World. It saw the return of Lloyd as Doc, who must travel to prevent a nuclear holocaust in 2045.

Finally, a musical theater production of the same name, written by Zemeckis, made its debut in February 2020 at the Manchester Opera House in England to positive reviews. It is now currently running on Broadway and in the West End. There have been rumors of a genuine movie reboot, but they have been frequently shot down. Nevertheless, the Back to the Future franchise still remains one of the most successful of all time and has found other ways to continue.
