Go Back In Time With New Theatrical Rerelease Of Back To The Future

The 40th anniversary of the original Back To The Future happened last July. If you were worried Universal wouldn’t be properly celebrating one of their most iconic films, think again. They’re just getting started late…but will make up for lost time with a Halloween super deluxe theatrical re-release of the film nationwide.

It will also be the nicest-looking print of Marty’s trip to the 1950s ever seen by man, with Dolby Cinema, 4DX, D-Box and IMAX showings. It’s a dreamboat! “This marks the first time Back to the Future will be presented on the world’s largest screens, offering fans the opportunity to experience the film’s scope and spectacle in the most immersive formats yet,” the studio says.

Universal also announced that the Back to the Future trilogy will be getting a 40th Anniversary Limited Edition Gift Set. Here’s the thing about this: the movie has been released and re-released and re-re-rereleased on home video plenty of times. More than one type of Blu-Ray set exists. So to make this one stand out, Universal had to pull out all the stops…

It’s the largest set devoted to BTTF ever created, and it contains “all three films in 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital, packaged with a collectible Flux Capacitor SteelBook, an exclusive Gibson Mini Guitar replica, an OUTATIME metal license plate, a Back to the Future: A Visual History booklet, and an assortment of replica items from the Universal archives” including a Jaws 19 mini-poster, a “Save The Clock” flyer, a Western Union telegram and even more. To top THIS one they’re going to have to sell the 50th Anniversary set with an actual Delorean.

Anyway, if it’s the theatrical showings you’re after,  tickets are already up for presale. The Power of Love will be felt again October 31.
