Celebrate the Past, Present and Future With Three Timeless Classics: ‘Back to the Future,’ ‘Back to the Future Part II,’ ‘Back to the Future Part III’ Available Individually for the First Time on DVD February 10, 2009

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Jan. 5 /PRNewswire/ — It’s a blast from the past,
present and future — three popular favorites available for the first time
separately from Universal Studios Home Entertainment on
February 10, 2009: “Back to the Future,” “Back to the Future Part II” and
“Back to the Future Part III.” These are absolute classics for any DVD
collection.

“Back to the Future,” the first in the series, is a special two-disc set
that includes Back to the Future: The Ride for the first time ever on DVD in
which fans can experience the complete Universal Studios theme park attraction
including lobby monitor and pre-show footage. Also included is Looking Back
to the Future, a brand-new 45-minute documentary featuring director Robert
Zemeckis, making-of featurettes, deleted scenes and other bonus materials.

One of the most successful cinematic franchises created, with over $418
million in combined domestic box office grosses, the “Back to the Future”
films — all executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall and

Kathleen Kennedy, produced by Neil Canton, directed by Robert Zemeckis and
written by Bob Gale — broke the mold of traditional adventure-comedy films
and left an indelible mark on popular culture that still resonates among a
huge fan base. The spectacular success of the original 1985 “Back to the
Future,” which won the Academy Award(TM) for Best Sound Effects Editing and
was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound and Best Song
(“Power of Love”), catapulted the film careers of Michael J. Fox, Christopher
Lloyd, and Lea Thompson.

The impact of the first film inevitably led to the futuristic 1989 “Back
to the Future Part II,” featuring early roles in the then-budding careers of
actors Elizabeth Shue, Billy Zane, Jason Scott Lee, and Elijah Wood; and the
1990 “Back to the Future Part III,” featuring Oscar(R)-winning actress Mary
Steenburgen and set in the Old West with an innovative mixture of sci-fi,
western and romantic elements added to the familiar comedic adventure theme.

“BACK TO THE FUTURE” DVD FEATURES

The magic and wonder of the entire “Back to the Future” films is explored
in over 10 hours of bonus materials. Bonus features include “The Making of
Back to the Future I-III,” “Deleted Scenes,” “Outtakes,” “Feature Commentaries
with Producers Bob Gale and Neil Canton” and much, much more.
