'Back To The Future' 4K Trilogy Comes With Audition Footage Of Ben Stiller, Kyra Sedgwick, And More

The 30th anniversary of Back to the Future took place back in 2015, which somehow feels like it was literal eons ago and only yesterday at the same time. I think it's because even through multiple generations, Robert Zemeckis's time travel comedy has never really left the public consciousness. But to celebrate the film's 35th anniversary later this year, the entire trilogy is finally getting a 4K release for the first time ever.

And while the new Back to the Future: The Ultimate Trilogy box set repackages plenty of existing bonus features, it also includes over an hour of brand new features, including the casting auditions of then-up-and-coming actors like Ben Stiller and Kyra Sedgwick. Get the details below.

Back to the Future 4K Trilogy Combo Pack

Universal Pictures is releasing the Back to the Future trilogy on 4K Ultra HD for the first time ever on October 20, 2020 – just in time for "Back to the Future Day" on October 21, the day that Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) traveled to in 2015 in the second film.

New bonus content includes rare audition footage from Hollywood stars Ben Stiller, Kyra Sedgwick, Jon Cryer, Billy Zane, Peter DeLuise, and C. Thomas Howell, a tour of the film's props and memorabilia hosted by co-writer/producer Bob Gale, a sneak peek at the new musical based on the movie, and a special episode of the popular YouTube Series "Could You Survive The Movies?"

Plus, if you've ever wanted a replica of the hoverboard that appears in the Back to the Future sequels, you can get one by purchasing premium editions of this 4K trilogy from a couple of different retailers. Here's the info on that:
