So the day has finally arrived, the future date that Marty McFly and Jennifer and Doc Brown travel to in Back to the Future 2!
But the franchise almost didn't happen, as wired.com recount some of the tidbits from Back to the Future: The Ultimate Visual History, an exhaustive look back at some of the behind-the-scenes from the iconic trilogy of films, published yesterday by HarperCollins.
Maybe the most enduring image of BTTF 2 (well, along with the self-lacing Nike Mags), the hoverboard was the product of two years of conceptual development by ILM's John Bell. Ultimately, more than 60 boards were built for the movie sequence, which took three weeks to film.
Crispin Glover's return for BTTF2 was in doubt from the beginning. In January 1989, a month before filming began, the actor fired his agents who had negotiated a fee double what the actor had gotten for the original movie. The new agents fought for more money, but the filmmakers lowered their offer, and the actor bowed out. (George McFly was eventually portrayed by a different actor wearing prosthetic makeup.)
Production sketches for the "pizza hydrator," which the 2015 McFly family used to reconstitute their Pizza Hut dinner.
Storyboards for Doc Brown's DeLorean reveal in the original movie. The illustrator, Andrew Probert, was also responsible for the movie's original logo, as well as many of the design sketches of the DeLorean as we came to know it.
Some of Andrew Probert's many design sketches of the DeLorean. (Other artists worked to design the car's interior, but Probert's work on the exterior, building on the contributions of concept artists Ron Cobb and Lawrence Paull, determined the car's final form.)
BTTF 2’s costume designer, Joanna Johnston, designed almost 150 original outfits for background performers—in addition to those for the central characters. On the bottom row, you can see her designs for Biff's son Griff and his crew (Heck, Spike, and Whitney).
Joanna Johnston's costumes, as realized in the actual movie.
Some of John Bell's character sketches for the hoverboard sequence. Notice Griff's "audio/video hookup" and the TV screen embedded in his pants.
Although, on a personal note from me, ironically I do think Teen Wolf was more prophetic than Back to the Future, as it predicted the popularity of stupid hipster beards.
