This is the
former page dedicated to the "Back
to the Future IV" fan audio drama production, which was not
in competition with Universal, who did not authorize the work.
"Back to
the Future" created by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, copyright
Universal.
On June
7, 2011, NBC Universal sent Pendant Productions a cease and desist
takedown notice for our as-yet unaired "Back to the Future
IV" fan production.
We
immediately took down the page and all references to the show from
our release schedule, FAQ, and even mentions of the show on our
Facebook page (per their request). For two weeks we did our best
to work with them to find a different solution, but their stance
was unwavering and we are not being allowed to release the show.
I know
a lot of you were looking forward to hearing it and celebrating
our mutual love for the "Back to the Future" franchise,
and we were looking forward to bringing it to you. A lot of very
talented people spent over two years working on the production,
but it's out of our hands at this point.
We're
just as disappointed as you are, but please do not take your anger
out on NBC Universal. They're doing what they feel is in the best
interest of their property, and while we may disagree with their
decision we still thank them for communicating with us as we tried
to come to a resolution.
I wish
things had gone differently, but for now the DeLorean will sit under
a tarp in the garage.
"Good
night, Future Boy."

Bridges
Executive Producer, Pendant Productions
