Back to the Future Trilogy is coming...

Exclusive: Proof that Back to the Future is Coming to Blu-ray

It "looks like" the BTTF Trilogy will be coming to Blu-ray by year's end from Universal.

[Hellbilly]

They had BTTF street dates for the German blu-ray releases by year's end listed at some German site since April. It didn't appear 'official' to me but I guess I was wrong.
I never bought the DVD sets so I'll just grab these when available.

[Shannafey]

I never bought the DVD sets and have been watching the first one on AMC in HD. I didn't remember how much I loved this film. A definite Blu Ray purchase!!

"During an interview on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Back to the Future, Bob Gale, BTTF creator, producer and co-writer, said he had seen the movie projected days ago and he thought "it looks so good, so much better than it did in 1985", when it opened in theaters.

He further explained: "When they did the remastering for the Blu-ray they spent over 400 hours doing dirt cleanup, and almost another 200 hours doing color correction, so the movie looks better than it ever did." When a film is shown at the theater, "you have the print going through the projector, it picks up dirt, gets scratched and with the digital technology these guys fixed almost all of that stuff, and it just looks breathtaking.""
