Universal Pictures is releasing the Back to the Future trilogy on 4K Ultra HD for the first time ever on October 20, 2020 – just in time for "Back to the Future Day" on October 21, the day that Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) traveled to in 2015 in the second film.
New bonus content includes rare audition footage from Hollywood stars Ben Stiller, Kyra Sedgwick, Jon Cryer, Billy Zane, Peter DeLuise, and C. Thomas Howell, a tour of the film's props and memorabilia hosted by co-writer/producer Bob Gale, a sneak peek at the new musical based on the movie, and a special episode of the popular YouTube Series "Could You Survive The Movies?"
Plus, if you've ever wanted a replica of the hoverboard that appears in the Back to the Future sequels, you can get one by purchasing premium editions of this 4K trilogy from a couple of different retailers. Here's the info on that:
