lathe-of-heaven the cyber truck will leave production in 3 years, and a Back to the Future reboot featuring a time traveling cyber truck will release in 2029

I was just going to post a thread about a Back to the Future reboot for the 40th anniversary next year, so fuck it, I'll just post my ideas here:

  • Obviously the Cybertruck is going to be the time machine, that way you can get my-hero on board because there's no way he'd realize the joke is that his truck's a piece of shit just like the DeLorean.
  • Trump might be president then, so you can recycle the joke about Reagan being president, just replace "Ronald Reagan" with "Donald Trump".
  • 30 years ago was 1995, so tap into that millennial nostalgia with jokes about the information superhighway, PlayStation, Space Jam?
  • Soundtrack: Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, 2Pac, Macarena for a silly scene?
  • Cameo by Ernest Cline in a DeLorean? Do people still care about that guy?
  • In the dance scene at the end, Marty plays Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit.

Hollywood, get in touch, you know this shit prints money.

Obviously the Cybertruck is going to be the time machine

I can see like, maybe they in-universe lore explanation is something about the easily rusting outer material is better for time travel. But also, it might be offputting for the audience when they wonder "why is the time machine based on a leftover playstation-era 3D model asset?"
