Universal Announces Back To The Future Trilogy Blu-Ray

The news come via BTTF.net, who also snagged an interview with Back to the Future writer/producer Bob Gale. According to Gale:
The fake Blu-Ray art we posted a few months ago touted a Jaws 19 “exclusive short film” in 3D (i.e. the fictional Jaws sequel seen briefly in Back to the Future 2). Unfortunately, it looks like that will not actually be a special feature. However, the Blu-Ray set will have something even better, footage I’ve always wanted to see ever since I first learned that it existed. Gale commented:
The HD transfers for all three films are simply breath-taking…They actually look better than they did in the theater because of the incredible job that was done on dirt clean-up. (And the film grain is preserved, so they still look like movies should look.)
Excellent.
I’m sure fans will enjoy the new documentaries, which include interviews with cast and crew members who — for budgetary reasons — were left out of the 2002 documentaries…So there are some stories and anecdotes told on camera for the first time. And since everyone wants to know, there are three very brief snippets of Eric Stoltz incorporated into one of the documentaries.
DVD buyers who fear double-dip need not worry too much: There is evidently a crapton of new material on the discs that isn’t on the previous DVDs. Below is the full list of special features. Will you be picking up a copy?
