Update: AT&T seemed none-too-pleased with the allegations and gave us the following statement: [tweet https://twitter.com/leewalker10/status/230703524634300416] We heard reports in the past that retail employees at other carriers were instructed by higher-ups to push Android and other alternative smartphone options to customers interested in the iPhone.

Wanting to have Back to the Future Part II pick up right where the first movie left off required the ending of Back to the Future to be completely reshot.

Fox) and absent-minded inventor Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) was a huge success, becoming one of the highest grossing movies of the 80s. It wasn’t, however, intended to be the first part of a franchise, meaning it took until 1989 for Back to the Future Part 2 to hit theaters....
