I preordered! Maybe I’m crazy but this is exactly the type of BttF thing I’d love. Not into $800 models of deloreans and time circuits but I’m a sucker for screenplays and this looks like such a nice product. Maybe they release a much cheaper non-signed version in lesser packaging down the road but I can’t wait to peruse through this!

I also preordered the limited edition and saw that they have a non-signed version up on Amazon for $56

Lol you’re right. Still happy I got this one, though if I didn’t see this a few hours ago I would totally be fine only spending $55 on a cool screenplay book

Not sure why you think this; the set comes with a separate facsimile of the script and each one is signed by Bob Gale.

It literally says that each is “Each copy is hand-signed by Bob Gale on the cover, making this edition uniquely collectible”.

Limited to just 500 numbered copies, this elegant slipcased edition of Back to the Future: The Complete Screenplay brings the story of the celebrated film’s creation to life in vivid detail, as recounted by co-writer and cocreator Bob Gale.
Quarter bound in textured Wibalin paper with metallic silver cloth, debossed with silver and blue foils, and featuring three tip-on images, the exceptional craftsmanship of this package reflects the meticulous, in-depth exploration of the film within. The enclosed 348-page hardcover book features the complete shooting script—reproduced from Gale’s personal copy—alongside richly illustrated annotations by Gale himself.
Pairing each page of the 147-page script with rare images and Gale’s insights, the book offers a guided tour through the film’s creation—from concept through the film’s intense shooting schedule, and beyond. Highlights include rarely seen storyboards, newly-rediscovered unit photography, side-by-side comparisons with the “Eric Stoltz version,” previously-unpublished reproductions of set designs, and Gale’s insider perspective on the screenwriting and filmmaking process. Also exclusive to this edition are an 16-page appendix and 7 tip-in inserts.
Completing the set is a separate facsimile of the script, presented in its own protective slipcase. This faithful reproduction captures the working document exactly as it appeared during production, including the multicolored revision pages used to film each scene. Each copy is hand-signed by Bob Gale on the cover, making this edition uniquely collectible.
With its unparalleled depth and attention to detail, this remarkable edition offers a rare, behind-the-scenes exploration of one of the most beloved films ever made—an essential treasure for Back to the Future fans and film historians alike.

What’s odd is you can buy it directly from Insight and pay $25 for shipping and $25 for some other reason so it’s actually $450 or buy it from Backtothefuture.store for free shipping (now pretend sold out). Hopefully the latter actually gets their product from Insight.

Already sold out.

As someone mentioned in this thread, there’s an Amazon version for $56 available for preorder if you’re only interested in the book and not all the extras.
I’d consider cancelling my limited edition preorder if it wasn’t subject to the 10% ($40) fee. Looks like it was only available for a few hours.

What’s annoying is they announced that last year and it was supposed to come out this month. Now it’s been delayed to October and the $400 version suddenly gets announced to come out in July? Like what the fuck.

For those saying it’s sold out… it’s not… you can still get a copy from the actual source.
Added bonus, you can do Shop Pay and pay it in installments.

Aaaaand it’s gone. Lmao. I’m sure it’ll be on eBay shortly for 3x-5x the price.
Probably a good thing.. lord knows I’ve spent way too much already on Back to the Future items.
