Inside Entertainment Weekly's Reunion Extravaganza: First Stop, 'Back to the Future'

By Zach Dionne Posted Oct 14th 2010 09:04AM

In a special double issue on newsstands Friday, Entertainment Weekly pulled off the tremendous task of reuniting some of the most iconic ensembles in film and television history.

First up: 'Back to the Future.' Bringing together Michael J. Fox and Lea Thompson for a photo shoot with the DeLorean, EW interviewed the erstwhile Marty McFly and mother Lorraine. "Being with the car is great -- it's more fun being with Lea," Fox says of the reunion. "I just remember all these things with the car -- smashing my head on the door, hitting my knee on the flux capacitor."

Read on to watch the excellent video interview -- and to hear what other casts EW reunited.

Entertainment Weekly managing editor Jess Cagle says of the reunion issue: "For our 20th anniversary, we really wanted to give our audience a truly unique gift. The 'Reunions' project is just that."

While Michael J. Fox went into full reunion mode for the magazine, he says the 1985 film and its two sequels are a constant conversational topic with fans. "I get people wanting to talk about the space-time continuum and I'm just like, 'Dude, I was just in the movie. I don't know.'"

In one of the most touching bits of the interview, Thompson and Fox, both 49, warmly recount filming the 1955 bedroom scene where Lorraine attempts to seduce her time-traveling son. See the clip:

Tune into PopEater tomorrow for coverage of EW's 'Pretty in Pink' reunion. On deck shortly after: 'Lord of the Rings,' 'Roots' and 'The West Wing.'

It was such a wonderful movie. So nice to see them together and awesome interview. Makes me feel old though, but it really was a great movie. My kids 4 and 5 even love to watch it. They don't sit down for many movies.

"Back To The Future" is the kind of movie you want to see again and again. Michael J. Fox will forever be young. It's a shame that he has been afflicted in such a way that his acting skills are affected. God bless him.

I loved Back to the Future Movie, in the 1980s with Michael J. Fox and Lea T

hompson and Crispin Glover, I was reading about Michael J Fox's Conditions glad he's doing well and back with

His Family, anyways um I hope they Make Back to the Future 111 with Christopher Lloyd Michael J. Fox Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover when they get old. and they all travel back in time in.

1985, that would be so weird or make it in 3-D Christa P.

Lea Thompson is waaay talented. Saw her on Broadway in "Cabaret" as Sally Bowles (The Liza Minelli role ). What a voice... she's one of those "belters" like Merman, Joplin, Carey or Miss Minnelli. And still looks great.

@Vince: Ken did NOT say anything about Obama's race. And incidentally, Obama is not BLACK. He is Mulatto. Do you have a problem with that? Obama should be impeached, at a minimum, for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, as dictated by the United States Constitution, Article II Section 4, if not for TREASON and BRIBERY.

Don't Worry Ol'Purple lips Kool-aid drinking , muSlime butt kissing days in the White House are counting down.I do look forward to that day. It has nothing to do with him being BLACK but everything to do with him being the WORST President ever who cares NOTHING for the people of the United States.
