If, like just about every other movie lover in the world, you’re a fan of Back to the Future; one of the only films to ever get time travel right on screen; you probably loved seeing it at the cinema and would love to go again, or grew up too young to have seen it first time around and spent countless hours wishing that you could hop in a Delorean, go back to 1985 and see it how it was meant to be seen, on the big screen; and now, as the film is celebrating its 25 year anniversary, you’re dreams have been granted.
As it’s been a full 25 years since the original movie was released (and became one of the best loved movies in history) it’s the perfect time to relive the classic trilogy that introduced the world to the flux capacitor, popularized the Delorean, and gave the world The Power of Love (courtesy of Huey Lewis and the news); and that’s precisely why the original movie is being re-released this October.
Which means that the film’s legions of fans will be able to once again see it at the cinema, and a whole new generation will be able to watch Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox, Spin City) drive a time-traveling car back to 1955, where he has to find a way to get his teenage parents to hook up, or risk fading out of existence.
UK fans will be able to watch the first movie in the trilogy, when it once again opens in cinemas for a limited time of two weeks only, on October 1st (and currently there are no plans to re-release the film in any other country, including the United States); only a few weeks before the entire trilogy will be released on Blu-ray (hitting store shelves on October 25th) with a special edition collector’s tin, fully upgraded digital remaster, two hours of brand new special features, digital copies of the film’s, a storyboarded alternate ending, discussion about the film’s physics, and a retrospective documentary with all major players looking back at the film; the perfect way to relive a classic film that’s now a quarter of a century old.
