The Future is Back

Overview

Only an egg-suckin’, yellow-belly coward would miss a Back to the Future charity event featuring two-thirds of the timeless time-travelling trilogy and the DeLorean that made it all possible. It's the movie series that launched Michael J Fox into stardom and made science seem cool. It gave us hoverboards, flux-capacitors and even scary Libyans (though how could Spielberg have known that back in '85 unless he somehow travelled forward in … oh my god!!). Most important of all, it showed us that the greatest danger of irresponsible time travel was the possibility of hooking up with your own mother.

Now fans of the movies will have a rare chance to be photographed in and alongside the iconic DeLorean as part of a special charity event in support of people living with Parkinson's disease. The mini movie-marathon will feature a screening of the digitally re-mastered Parts II and III, as well as offering ticket holders some delicious Back to the Future-themed cocktails (surely to be nicknamed the 'Great Scott', 'Lighting Strike' and ‘1.21 Gigawatts’), an exclusive photo-op with the original DeLorean and even a karaoke sing off to the strains of Huey Lewis' ‘The Power of Love’.

There'll also be prizes for the best Back to the Future-themed costumes and a huge collection of memorabilia on show, including many props and costumes used in the actual films. It's the perfect opportunity to bust out your best “Mag Dog” Tannen, Doc Brown or Marty McFly outfits and show your support for the 80,000 or so people living with Parkinson’s disease in Australia.

The Future is Back event will commence 6pm this Sunday (April 3) at the Event Cinemas on George Street, with tickets now available here or at the Event Cinemas George Street box office.
