Hello everyone! 🙂
Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!
I’ve completed my celebrations of ‘Back to the Future’s 40th anniversary on ‘Bradley’s Basement’ this year by checking out the third ‘Back to the Future’ movie novelization – ‘Back to the Future, Part III’ by Craig Shaw Gardner, based on the screenplay by producer Bob Gale and on the story by director Robert Zemeckis and producer Bob Gale. I’ve greatly enjoyed reading ‘Back to the Future, Part III’ from November to December 2025, and it’s fitting I’m sharing my latest review on the movie novelization before Christmas.
I’ve added my review on the movie novelization of ‘Back to the Future, Part III’ to my review on the third and final film of the trilogy on ‘Bradley’s Basement’. Please feel free to check out, read and comment on my latest book review by clicking on the link for it.
Enjoy!
Now that I’ve completed my look into the ‘Back to the Future’ movie novelizations, I can now go back to checking out more ‘Doctor Who’ books. I’ll be starting off with checking out a ‘Doctor Who’ book for the upcoming ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season I’ll soon be sharing from December 2024 to January 2025. The book is called ‘Doctor Who in Wonderland’ by Paul Magrs. Looking forward to it! 🙂 Hopefully, after that, I’ll be resuming my look into the latest Target novelizations/audiobooks, including ones based on stories from the Fifteenth Doctor era, which I’m looking forward to checking out in the New Year.
Stay tuned!
Thanks for reading!
Bye for now!
Tim. 🙂

Someone pointed out that, if Back to the Future were made today (in 2025), its 20-year time gaps would put the past as 1995, and the future as 2045. Cosmetically, that’s quite a difference, but I also think that narratively, you’d also have a completely different film. There are so many things that date between the historical past and the then-present day.
I kind of want to know what Part III of this film would look like in a modern context because it wouldn’t be a Western. A Western made sense in the context of the trilogy at the time. It was a subgenre of the nostalgia they were visiting with their trip to the 1950s. But, the Western has its last gasp in mainstream popularity by the early ’70s.
What would be the equivalent for the 1990s? A historical event that mimicked a disaster film? Something with Egyptology in it? There is a really interesting answer in there somewhere.

Hi Wolfie,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. If ‘Back to the Future’ was made in 2025 instead of 1985, with 1995 replacing 1955 and 2045 replacing 2015, I’d say that for ‘Part III’, the story would take place in 1925 instead of 1885. Having ‘Part III’ mostly set in 1925 would be particularly exciting and interesting, especially as the crime gangster mobs and illegal drinking would be harrowing, as depicted in ‘The Roaring Twenties’ film with James Cagney.
I don’t know if that would make the third instalment of the ‘Back to the Future’ trilogy better compared to the original in the old West, especially if the comtemporary setting was 2025. But it would be interesting. And should Marty McFly end up going to 1995 instead of 1955, I’d happily play George McFly as I grew up in the 1990s myself. 😆
Many thanks,
Tim 🙂
