'Back to the Future Day': 'Back to the Future' Stars Michael Fox, Elijah Wood Share Thoughts on Film's Predictions

"Back to the Future Day" celebration extended far and wide on Oct. 21, Wednesday. The pop culture event referenced to the fateful day when Marty Mcfly from the iconic 1989 film "Back to the Future II" traveled to the future -- specifically Oct. 15, 2015 -- to save his children.

As part of the celebration, Universal Pictures re-released the classic "Back to the Future" trilogy in theaters starting Wednesday and will extend throughout the weekend. It will be recalled that the first "Back to the Future" film became an international phenomenon after its release in 1985, leading to the creation of two sequels.

"Back to the Future Day" created a lot of buzz not only in the country but worldwide. The occasion was observed in various states and countless "Back to the Future" references flooded the social media. Even the cast and crew of "Back to the Future II" joined in on the fun, discussing the film and its famous predictions for the "future."

In a recent interview, "Lord of the Rings" star Elijah Wood talked about his fascination about some of the prophecies in "Back to the Future II," his film debut at the age of eight.  The actor agreed that while some of the inventions would be great to have at present, there are others that should remain in 1985.

The movie is famous for its predictions, some of which eventually came true including Skype and fingerprint scanners. However, some prophecies did not, like the one that talked about Chicago clubs winning the World Series.

Michael J. Fox, who played the lead role of Marty Mcfly, admitted that he was a little torn over that prediction, according to ABC News. During a special screening for "Back to the Future II" on Wednesday, the Canadian actor-producer said: "It's tough because I'm a New Yorker and I would love to see the Mets do well. But I'd love to see the film be right. So I'm torn." Eventually, he had to admit that, "Whatever happens, happens." 

Christopher Lloyd, who played Doc Brown in the film, said he did not really follow the predictions either except for the Chicago Clubs win part.
