The Eric Stoltz scenes? Would that be too much to ask?!

Looks good. No Blu-Ray player yet, no hi-def TV. Maybe when the Star Wars trilogy comes out.

Give them a huge pat on the back for all this. Throw in the NBC X Night at the Movies intro for the night of the world premiere (should be easy if they think of it given this is of course NBC/Universal releasing this a copyrights could be easily cleared), and it would be absolutely perfect.

i have to double check, but the regular dvd trilogy has some of these features. don't remember which ones. i have gone through 2 three packs of this trilogy because my daughter watched them so much..the discs for parts 1 and 2 stopped working.
(she even watches part 3!)

thanks for the info, val...can't wait to own this one. [Smile]

But I'm not paying 40K for a hover conversion, period. On the other side, at least we won't have to worry about our lawyers cheating us anymore soon.

After reading the info below.. all I can say is that I'm stoked for BTTF on Blu-ray..

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."
