“Back to the Future” costars Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd have reunited to discuss which technological predictions the iconic 1985 film got right in a new commercial for Toyota — not DeLorean, the defunct car company whose DMC-12 model was featured in the movie.
“We’ve got 3D movies,” Lloyd told Fox as they sat at a table in a diner.
The duo also discussed the antiquity of a fax machine — Fox can’t believe such technology even existed, while Lloyd revealed that he still uses it today.
“I fax the people I fax,” Lloyd told Fox. “I’ll fax you!”
The 43-second spot released Wednesday serves as a tease for a longer commercial that is set to be released on Oct. 21, which has been named Back to the Future Day since it’s the date to which Marty McFly travels to in “Back to the Future: Part II.”
