New Back To The Future Games Nab Original Film Talent

Telltale Games, creators of Sam & Max and Monkey Island episodic games, are hard at work on all-new Back to the Future games chronicling the time-travelling adventures of Marty McFly and Doc Brown. Today, they bring good BTTF news.

The developer has tapped the talents of Christopher Lloyd to voice ol’ Doc Brown, with Back to the Future screenwriter Bob Gale coming onboard to “consult” on the creation of the episodic game series. Telltale’s Back to the Future games are timed to hit later this year, after the Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy hits Blu-ray and DVD.

Telltale’s Back to the Future series has also secured the likeness of Michael J. Fox’s Marty McFly and the iconic DeLorean time machine, so expect authenticity to assault your eyeballs later this year.

    Is MJF able to do voiceovers still? (Stuart Little) Or is he too sick now?

      Dude…Micheal J. Fox is dead…. He’s been for a while now. They probably got someone who sounds like him to do the voice…I hope!

        You are so wrong I don’t even know where to start. Or were you trying to start a Paul McCartney style rumour?

    Well, MJF did The Colbert Report earlier this year, so he’s still working. Hopefully he’d be able to do a few voice overs. Hopefully Telltale Games will actually ask him….

    On a (slightly) related note… I am hoping like made that the family guy crew does a BTTF movie or three like they are doing with star wars… would be awesome.

    I heard there was an issue with licensing as Lucasfilms supported it but the BTTF studio? did not???

    Game would be nice. I grew up on this stuff!
