GameTrailers has put up a couple behind-the-scenes clips of Telltale Games‘ upcoming Back to the Future game, including a look at the new guy they got to voice Marty McFly; he sounds like a young Michael J. Fox. Great casting here, there is also a clip of Christopher Lloyd commenting on his input – good to see him as Doc once more, and the game’s creative staff setting up the premise of Telltale’s game.

Twenty five years after the release of Back to the Future, co-stars Michael J. Fox and Lea Thompson hang out for their Entertainment Weekly photo-shoot with the DeLorean time machine, and discuss their memories of shooting the film.

The Art of Drew Struzan
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010
There’s a movie poster book coming out called The Art of Drew Struzan. Struzan created some of the most iconic movie posters ever [see] and there is even a documentary about it [trailer]. The book takes a look at a collection of movie art that he created that many of us have never seen before. Some of the unseen art can be found below, like Back to the Future. If it wasn’t for that brutal running tagline at the top, the poster would be grade A. There actually is a sweet poster for Waterworld below too, who knew?
For those who don’t appreciate a fine movie poster, I direct to this. How very thoughtful and non-insulting to the brain right? Moving on. The Art of Drew Struzan gathers more than 300 pieces of artwork including sketches, concept art and finished posters for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Hellboy II and dozens of other pictures. The book also includes previously unseen illustrations for Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Blade Runner, Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome and Waterworld. Struzan retired in 2008. The Art of Drew Struzan hits bookstores September 14th.

A Look At The New Back To The Future Video Game
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010In June, it was announced that Telltale Games was developing a series of new episodic video games based off the Jurassic Park and Back to the Future movie franchises, in a deal with NBC Universal. We have a couple new updates, including our first look at concept art for the Back to the Future game.
I will be the first one to defend BTTF in everything it does, but I have no faith in this whatsoever. It’s coming out this winter and we have no screen shots or real news about it? Me thinks it’s going to be cheaply produced and just using voices and props from a film isn’t enough to satisfy any serious gamer or movie lover. I have a Wii and PS3 and I can’t imagine either systems showing me a well made Back to the Future game, and I hate myself for thinking it.
I can see however this being a small downloadable game, Telltale Games is kind of known for that (Monkey’s Island and Sam & Max games. They have produced games based on Wallace & Gromit, Homestar Runner and Tales of Monkey Island.)
What we know so far:
- The game will include characters Marty McFly and Doc Brown.
- Christopher Lloyd will also provide his voice for the games.
- Back to the Future series screenwriter Bob Gale is working with the game developers on the story
- They are planning five “episodes”.
- It will be set in the fictional California setting of Hill Valley, and will explore 1985 and additional time periods.

BTTF Re-Release Poster, Trailer And A Timeline Yeah Why Not
Thursday, August 12th, 2010
Click To See Some Serious Sh**
Thankfully for the time being (and I hope in my lifetime) Back to the Future will continue to be one of the few movie properties that remains untarnished. We don’t need an animated movie, a prequel or a re-imagining gone wrong. We have a brand new DVD and Blu-ray release (includes a new 6-part retrospective documentary) planned for October, and it’s even returning to theaters – unfortunately for those of us in North America, the re-release will only be happening overseas.
According to Empire Magazine, the original Back to the Future will return to cinemas in the U.K. on October 1st. The 25th Anniversary DVD and Blu-ray set will then arrive in stores on October 26th. Someone find me a facebook group to join to get this movie a worldwide re-release. The trailer for said re-release is below. Sad face. Oh and some nerd named Sean Mort decided one night to make an easy to follow BTTF Timeline, very detailed sir. Trailer [here] & Timeline [here]
