With less than a week until Oct. 21, 2015 – a.k.a. the day Marty McFly and Dr. Emmett Brown set their time machine in _Back to the Future Part II_ – the famous time-traveling duo have reunited. In a new Toyota commercial featuring [Michael J. Fox](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:MichaelJFox,00.html "undefined") and [Christopher Lloyd](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:ChristopherLloyd,00.html "undefined"), the pair discuss what the film did (and didn’t) get right about life in 2015\. And it turns out, the film wasn’t totally off-base. As they drink coffee in a diner, the two realize that while dog-walking robots are still a thing of the future, we do, in fact, have 3-D movies and fingerprint technology. But the thing they are most surprised about? Fax machines. “Can you believe we said fax machines would still be around?” Fox asks. “Yeah, I got a fax machine,” Lloyd responds. “Who do you fax?” Fox asks in disbelief. “I fax the people I fax!” Lloyd defends, adding that he would happily send a fax to Fox. The reunion came on the same day that Lloyd, 76, admitted that he’d be up for a _Back to the Future: Part IV_ film. Speaking to [_The Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/christopher-lloyd-id-do-back-832134 "undefined"), he said, “I would love to do Doc again, no question.” But even though he’d reprise his role in a heartbeat, he recognizes the challenges that come with making a new sequel. “It’s tough to come up with an idea that contains the excitement of the original three,” he added. “So it would be a real challenge for the writers to come up with an original _Back to the Future_ story that has the same passion and intensity and excitement as the other three. But it could be done, you never know.” _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/michael-j-fox-christopher-lloyd-discuss-back-to-the-future-predictions "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4075114/back-to-the-future-toyota-ad/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4075114/back-to-the-future-toyota-ad/"},"headline":"Watch Michael J.
