**Back To The Future **star Lea Thompson is making something of a comeback as a leading lady – and she’s keeping it firmly in the family.

Thompson, who of course played Lorraine McFly in Robert Zemeckis’ 1985 classic, and her husband, the director Howard Deutsch, are currently developing the dramedy, A Town Called Malice, a project that may eventually see life as a television show.

Thompson, now 48, will play a former rock’n’roll star who moves back to her hometown with her estranged daughter after her husband goes all doolally during a comeback gig.

The project was written by Erin Maher and Kaye Reindl and, while it sounds like it’s got more of a shot if it becomes a TV show, we’d still like to see Thompson back on the big screen.
