In a new teaser for the Back to the Future anniversary set, Lloyd suits up in the ol’ lab coat once again for a brief segment promoting the “Doc Brown Saves The World!” short film.
While there isn’t a lot to glean from the teaser about the plot of “Doc Brown Saves The World!” (save for the suggestion that he saves the world), it does set the clip on a date that should be familiar to Back to the Future fans: Oct. 21, 2015.
Doesn’t ring a bell? Here’s a reminder:
Universal has also kept that date in mind when scheduling the release date for the Back to the Future 30th anniversary set, as the whole package hits shelves a day earlier on Oct. 20.
The full breakdown of the set’s contents includes the following:
- Back to the Future, Back to the Future Part II, Back to the Future Part III
- Bonus disc with more than two hours of content
