Happy holidays coming for Future fans
DVD release dates confirmed for November/December
It's now confirmed! The DVD File website has confirmed details we reported in mid June concerning the upcoming Back to the Future DVDs. In a fax the site's editor received from Universal, practically every detail we were given six weeks ago from our studio insider has now been confirmed. Here's what their report states:
There will be a big "The Future Is Back!" VHS and DVD promotion this Christmas. The DVD of Part 1 streets 11/23 (not 11/16 as I originally posted...don't shoot me!). It features a new 16x9 transfer and 5.1 remaster, a backwards-running wristwatch in a limited number of discs, and the usual bevy of Universal Collector's Edition features. There will be a documentary, deleted scenes, production notes, cast bios and trailers. No commentary info was mentioned, but you never know (it is not uncommon for early sales info to be incomplete.)
Also, looks like we won't have to wait until 2000 for the other 2, as Back To The Future Part 2 and Part 3 will both debut on 12/14. Though not containing the same extensive features as the first, they both have new 16x9 transfers and 5.1 mixes, and deleted scenes as well. Each disc is available separately, and no word on any sort of special 3-pack (though perhaps that wristwatch thing would come in a possible 3-pack?).
We still believe that the films will also be packaged as a boxed set too, given recent reports in Video Business Magazine and other sources. Hopefully, additional details will be forthcoming very soon.
Upon further inspection of the DVDFILE.com website under their listing for Back to the Future, we find that the backward running watch will be limited to the first 10,000 copies, and that the Huey Lewis & the News video "The Power of Love" will indeed be included. One interesting tidbit of news they report that the new documentary contained on the collection is entitled "Back In Time".
Varèse Sarabande announces Trilogy CD release date
Just 24 hours after our last report on this, Varèse Sarabande announced the release date for the long awaited CD Alan Silvestri: THE BACK TO THE FUTURE TRILOGY. We can now expect to be able to purchase the collection on September 21. All of a sudden, the Future's looking really bright....
