YES!!!!

[DiBiase is Good]

Now that is how you treat a beloved trilogy on Blu-ray.
I would buy it even if it had nothing extra but those extras just sweeten the deal.

[Blindkarevik]

I'm in love.

Most of the Blu extras seem to be taken from the 2002 DVD release of the trilogy, with a couple (like the BTTF: The Ride feature) taken from last year's re-release of the movies. Also apparently not featured is the Eric Stoltz footage...AGAIN. You'd think they release that by now.

Not a problem for me though. I don't have the trilogy anymore (my brother took it with him when he moved out) so it's a definite purchase. I love these movies.

EDIT: Wow, I just realized something...October 26th is the release date. 25 years to when the movie takes place. That's freakin' awesome. Also to note that the actual 25th anniversary of the first movie's release is this Saturday.

I have no excuse not to get this series now.

Actually, there's a new documentary included that will apparently include snippets of the Stoltz footage.

I never got the replacements of 2 and 3 with the corrected framing, so this will be a likely purchase for the right price, though I might check my DVDs first to see if they are truly wanting enough to justify it.

[skykid]

Does anyone know if the Looking Back At The Future Documentary from the Re-Released DVD set last year will be included or if this new Documentary is just an updated version of it with new interviews?

I believe it's going to be a mix of old and new. I did hear that new interviews will be done, so maybe Claudia Wells will be interviewed as well as a couple other people (I know it's a touchy subject, but I would love to see if they'll do anything with Crispin Glover, if they haven't already)

[mattperiolat]

Yep, we'll finally see some of the Stolz footage in the new doc, plus seeing the BTTF ride footage in high def is gonna be sweet.

OK, I'm not up on the Crispen Glover stuff, why was he written out of BTTF 2? It have anything to do with him being batsqueeze crazy on Letterman?

Nope, just a salary dispute.

Dude must had a pretty high opinion of himself. Yeah, he rocked in the first movie, but it's MARTY'S story, not Marty's dad's story.

GREAT SCOTT!

I agree, but then again we've seen worse.

Check out bttfstuff.com You can order a ton of cool props from the trilogy, including something I just placed an order for. ;D

He actually sued the producers because they used another actor and made him appear like Crispin Glover, which as the producers didn't own his likeness he had a good point.
IIRC, it actually caused the Screen Actors Guild to change the rules on that kind of thing so that you couldn't use a likeness without the permission of the person you're doing a likeness of.

I could be wrong on some of that though.

You're correct, sir.

But, like I said...i'm thinking that Glover has bitten his lip and let everything pass as much as he can. Remember that he worked with Zemeckis in 2007 with Beowulf, so who knows. That's why I believe he's sane enough to let bygones be bygones and do a new interview where he'll finally throw in his two cents.

Or he's still batgoofy insane and nothing comes of it.

[Chainsaw]

Thank god I didn't pay much for BTTF recently.

[Professor Chaos]

I might have to buy a blu-ray player now.
