Unused ‘Back to the Future’ Poster Breaks Time and Color

Back to the Future is one of those classic and unique films that proves original film ideas can be intelligent, engaging, exciting, and, most of all, wildly entertaining. It’s a movie that we here at Bloody-Disgusting have a strong fondness for and we’ll take any chance to give it some love.

While famous poster artist Drew Struzan’s iconic one-sheet for the film has become a cultural icon, there’s a different poster that has sprung up over at Ewbank’s that has a very different feel. Sporting a new tagline of “Marty’s parents were destined to meet in 1955. Until Marty dropped in from the future.“, the poster shows Crispin Glover and Lea Thompson in black-and-white with Marty bursting through their world in full color. Additionally, the iconic Delorean can be seen right in the middle.

It’s definitely not as memorable as Struzan’s but there is a charm to this poster that I can’t deny. And it’s always great to see this film still getting love 30 years after it came out.

If you want the poster, the estimate is between £200 and £400.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
