"As long as you hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely 88mph the instant the lightning strikes the tower... everything will be fine..."

On September 9, we posted a piece indicating that BACK TO THE FUTURE would be hitting the big screen again to commemorate its 25th anniversary - at that point it seemed said re-appearance would be limited only to UK theaters (details HERE). Looks like plans have changed a bit. The film is still hitting UK screens (this Friday, I believe?), but now comes word that it will also be remembered here in the States. On Saturday October 23 at 12:30pm, and Monday October 25 at 7pm, AMC theaters will host two special screenings of the first picture in the trilogy - on 158 screens across 40 cities. Your ticket purchase will include "a full-sized poster commemorating the 25th anniversary limited release of the movie", and each AMC theater hosting the event will be "special movie-related giveaways prior to the movie as a part of the experience." It should be noted that the timing of these U.S. screenings coincides (ahem) with October 26's release of the BTTF trilogy on Blu-Ray (the set's now up for pre-order HERE). Not too long ago, in an interview I don't believe has actually been published yet, trilogy co-writer/producer Bob Gale told HeyGuys that the remasterings appearing on these Blu-Rays look "breathtaking" and that the films look much better than they did when they were initially released, or something like that. Can't wait to get a peek... Find more about the impending U.S. screenings HERE. Tickets are now available HERE.
