Spec'd: Back to the Future on Blu-ray
Posted by Patrick Sauriol on Monday, June 28, 2010
On October 26, 2010 Universal Studios Home Entertainment will drop a Blu-ray collection of the Back to the Future trilogy featuring two hours of never-before-seen material.
In the summer of 1985 the first Back to the Future film hit theaters and became an instant hit, eventually going on to be that year's highest-grossing film. Part II and Part III followed in 1989 and 1990, with both sequels shot at the same time but released six months apart. The Back to the Future trilogy has grossed $936 million dollars worldwide and still continues to be remembered by its fans 25 years after Marty McFly first stepped into Doc Brown's time travelling DeLorean.
For the Blu-ray release more than two hours of all new bonus features have been added, including an all-new, six-part retrospective documentary featuring never-before-seen interviews with the cast, crew and filmmakers, including Michael J. Fox, for the definitive Back to the Future experience.
