Props In General

Since we're talking about props I thought it would be a good idea to discuss what will be included within the case. Obviously I have the Art Book but I also wanted to replicate some of the movie props and included them for the pack.

Been checking this site for a while now - http://www.yourprops.com/view_items.php?movie=Back+To+The+Future&index_from=150

Your props.com basically lists off every single prop from the whole trilogy.

I think it's quite important as a trilogy to included a prop from each film that's been key to the story or summarised an experience. The story itself is more about the relationship between Marty and Doc than anything else; the time machine is simply the go between that connects there relationships. Because of this I want that idea to be reflected in the props I'll choose. The props themselves will be print based that can be replicated by hand.

The chosen props that will be included is the warning letter that Marty sends to Doc in Part I, the Grays Sports Almanac 1950 - 2000 from Part II and the photograph Doc gives to Marty in Part III. The letter is being chosen because of the connection the two have the need for Marty to save his friend. It also was a key point in Doc's characteristic that he chose to keep and read the letter he himself once said would jeopardise the fabrics of the space time continuum. It was when we saw a less serious side to the Doc. Sports Almanac is what drove the whole film in part two. It was because of this getting out in the 50's that rewrote time and kicked off the adventure of the film. The final prop was chosen because this was when the connection between Marty and Doc was broken when they were separated in time during the end of Part III. Doc travels back to 85' to hand Marty the photograph of them both and signs it "My friend in time, Marty". A real nice piece that concludes the film and their friendship. Something that a collector would appreciate anyway.
