While it isn’t exactly official yet, there is now word that Back to the Future is coming to Blu-ray. A recent screening near Orlando surprised fans when produced Bob Gale premiered a new digital remaster of the film. He said the new print had been struck for the eventual release of a Blu-ray version.
Gale told the audience, “What you’re going to be seeing today is the digital master for the upcoming high-definition Blu-ray version of ‘Back to the Future.” Gale added that new, never-before-seen special features would accompany the eventual Blu-ray release. One wonders if it will feature more of the original Eric Stoltz footage, that only briefly appeared in the DVD version.
