Oh God, this should be immediate banishment!

Gizmo, I have never laughed so hard while hating someone so much in all my life.

For that, I thank you.

Also, the BTTF is all my time favorite trilogy as well. The trilogy as a whole has gotten more spins in my DVD player than anything else I own.

I thought this would be more news about the BRD release.

Shameful.

Back to the Future videogames are being released this winter, I wouldn't be surprised if they released the trilogy on Blu Ray at the same time.

Gizmo

Oct/Nov release is very likely. We will know next week anyway as they will probably announce the date when they show the game at E3. Or they might just wait to see what Paramount does with Indy...as it wouldn't be wise to release a hit 80's Trilogy the same week.

The Monkees

Oh my God! That sounds awesome! I can't wait to see those games!

And Jurassic Park games... nice.

I think this is going to be a good year.

Artman

Jurassic Park still a possibility for this yr?

Can't wait to get the trilogy on Blu, by far my favorite series of movies ever. Also video games!? Hell yes I've been wanting a good game (or games) based on the trilogy for the longest time can't wait!!

Bring it on in Blu!

LOVE that movie, but you have to admit it would probably be at the BOTTOM of Universal's Blu-ray catalog titles to upgrade.

Honestly, I disagree. They wouldn't have made four DTV sequels if Bring It On wasn't one of their most consistent, popular catalog titles.

Gizmo

and one of them was actually released on Blu-ray. We'll see the original film eventually (maybe sooner if "Hellcats" does well on the CW).

The Monkees

I think with the games they should do what they did with Ghostbusters and make a "sequel" through a video game. Since BTTF4 is never going to happen see if they can get all the actors together and make a video game sequel. How awesome would that be??

Shannon Nutt

I was thinking the same thing...in fact, I wish they did this with more franchises. The GHOSTBUSTERS game was a lot of fun and it "felt" like the third movie we never got (and probably never will).

It's official! Back To The Future Trilogy on Blu Ray - October 26!!!
