Today is October 21, 2015 — the day that Marty McFly and Doc Brown jumped to during BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II.
While there may not be any hoverboards or self-tying sneakers around, Universal Pictures is still celebrating today’s monumental event. Not only are they releasing new editions of the films on Blu-ray today (including a SteelBook, a Digibook, and a Flux Capacitor edition, among many others worldwide), they’ve also released this wonderful message from Doc Brown himself, Christopher Lloyd:

In additional to that great video, Toyota has put together something special: a short starring Lloyd and Michael J. Fox as they discuss the real 2015.

BACK TO THE FUTURE began in 1985 with PART II following in 1989 and then PART III concluding the series in 1990. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and co-written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale, the beloved series celebrates its 30th Anniversary this year, so get out there today and wish everyone a Happy ‘Back to the Future’ Day.
To think, after today, the entirety of BACK TO THE FUTURE will take place in our past…
Today is technically the last day. In Back to the Future 2, Doc Brown travels to Oct 22 2015 to get the newspaper of the previous day’s events.
