Some New Info on the Telltale Back to the Future Project
Earlier this year, it was announced that Telltale Games had signed an agreement to make a series of adventure games based on the Back to the Future franchise, as well as the Jurassic Park franchise. While we are still in the dark on the Jurassic Park stuff, we did get a few tidbits of info on the Back to the Future project.
It looks as if this will be an episodic game, featuring five episodes for the series. In another bid to keep the game authentic to the movies, Telltale has received the approval to use the likenesses of both Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd in the game. Christopher Lloyd has also sign on with the project to provide voice work for the five episodes. Finally, we have Bob Gale involved with the story creation process in Back to the Future. Bob Gale was the man behind all three Back to the Future screenplays.
While all of this is good news, there is one thing missing at this point. We need a rallying cry to get Tom Wilson involved. I mean, the man is part of the soul behind the Back to the Future franchise, and no one can deliver the trademark “Butthead” insult like one Tom Wilson. Telltale, get on this immediately, as it is of major importance.
Head over to the Telltale blog for more info on this, as well as their PAX contest.

Christopher Lloyd and Bob Gale are on-board? Great scott! But you're right, Tom Wilson need to lend this his to this game.
If it doesn't get Tom, it needs to make like a tree and GET OUT OF HERE.
“Its 'Make Like a Tree and Leaf' you BUTTHEAD” That guy is great. And I love his Cowboy Bob (or is it Tom) routine. He did a show at our high school back in 1989 and I felt bad. I had to think, “how far has this man fallen”.
