Back To The Future Documentary Due in October 2015

It's been nearly two years in the making, and it needs a little further helping hand yet, but it looks like the most comprehensive documentary ever made about the 1985 classic Back To The Future is going to be worth the wait.

Back In Time was originally put on Kickstarter in the summer of 2013, attracting 600 fans who all put money in to get the show on the road for Jason Oran's planned film. Now that it's nearing completion - and has expanded in its scope - it's reappeared on Kickstarter to raise some final funds.

It boasts an incredible lineup of contributors, with Robert Zemeckis, Michael J. Fox, Bob Gale, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Dean Cundey, Alan Silvestri, Claudia Wells, James Tolkan, Donald Fullilove, Jeffrey Weissman, Kevin Pike, Michael Scheffe, Andrew Probert,Michael J. Fox Foundation fundraisers Terry and Oliver Holler, time machine expert/restoration expert Joe Walser, author and historian Rob Klein, hoverboard entrepreneurs Jill & Greg Henderson, Secret Cinema director Fabien Rigall, and Dan Harmon just some of the people featured talking about their experiences with the trilogy.

The makers describe it as 'the ultimate documentary related to the Back To The Future trilogy', and it's hard not to believe them; it promises to be, "Not a simple 'making of' documentary, but rather one which explores the incredible, lasting resonance of the series, through the eyes of cast members and crew of the films, as well as some of the ultimate fans of the trilogy".

Watch the new trailer below and head to the Kickstarter to get involved, with rewards starting at $5 (£3), and $12 (£8) netting you an HD digital download of the finished thing the day after it receives its premiere at the 30th anniversary We're Going Back fanfest celebration in October 2015.
