Doc Brown appears to be alive again, in the Old West, in the new Seth MacFarlane movie "A Million Ways to Die in the Old West".
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2557490/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm (Note: Christopher Lloyd as Dr. Emmett Brown)
A friend of mine just saw the movie trailer (at Spiderman 2) and Doc Brown was at the end of the trailer, covering up the Time Machine
and explaining that it was just a "weather experiment". Two different BTTF references together, but it appeared to be well executed.
I checked the online trailers, both the regular teasers and the age restricted teasers, but no signs of Doc Brown in either one, yet.

Saw the film last night and the Doc scene is in the film.
I can't lie, it was pretty cool seeing the BTTF-D I built show up on screen with the Doc.
I suppose that gives all my molds and parts a screen used lineage now... :woot:

Footage is finally online showing the Doc/Delorean clip.

Now that I can finally pause it, I can tell for sure that it's my third conversion which is Seth's personal time machine replica. :)

What is that odd circle on the car? Looks like they blurred something out?

Not bad, but I think the teaser in movie theaters is a bit longer at the beginning, with blue light flashes in the barn, drawing Seth's attention.

Looks like they went as far to replicate part of the Doc's refrigerator. "Iced tea?"
Always cool to see the car, but TBH the plutonium chamber with 2015 plate bothers me.

It should have had Mr.fusion on it.

One way to plausibly explain that is Doc's letter to Marty did specifically say he became a blacksmith as a front so he could repair the DeLorean - so for the DeLorean to still be in his shop at this point would suggest he is still repairing or reassembling it, thus Mr Fusion is on a bench...

....and that he had gotten the time machine to partially to work, but instead of sending him to 1985 it sent him back 3 years to 1882. :)

Just back from seeing it. I'm afraid to say that it is just OK. 3 out of 5. One of those movies where the funniest bits are in the trailer, except the doctor that isn't in the movie at all.
The BTTF cameo is fun but totally at odds with the rest of the movie. I haven't seen III so I don't know how much of it parodies the original.
The storyline is weaker than an angle drive but there are some great desert landscapes.
It's not a classic but I know everyone here will see it anyway and rightly so.

Seconded on that. My wife thought it was a pretty good film, but she also hadn't seen the trailers which had the best scenes from the movie. So if it wasn't for all those spoilers, I probably would have enjoyed the flick allot more.
I did loose it though when he argued with the snake oil salesman running the medicine show about the tonic's ingredients and "Clebrated Stomach Bitters" name. "Can I… can I just ask-celebrated by whom? Who's celebrating stomach bitters?"
I used to argue that with my father about 1800's marketing using words like that, so it brought back some memories.

You're not instilling much confidence in me - I think I'll skip this one to be honest, or wait for it to hit the premium movie channels and catch it when Dish has a free preview weekend.

Just my jaded view, I guess.
I saw a review on another car forum that I am one where the member classed Seth as a genius and proclaimed the movie to be "awesome".
:popcorn:

If you haven't seen any of the previews, go watch the movie and you'll love it. If you have, then wait for it to hit cable so by that time you've forgotten about it and it will become fresh again.

Knowing Seth MacFarlane, it'll be something R-rated that they had to blur in order to put it in the all-audiences trailer.

No, there is a standard Green-Band and a separate Red-Band trailer. And if you've seen both, you've practically seen all the best parts of the entire movie.

Sorry, I forgot to put <joke> </joke> around my previous post.
Honestly, though, this is why I don't go and see movies anymore -- the best bits are in the trailers, and usually so is the entire plot.

I finally got to see this movie... It was *very* funny, IMO. I laughed my ass off. The scene with Doc was really cool too.

"Filmmaker SETH MACFARLANE has put his BACK TO THE FUTURE-style DeLorean sports car in storage after branding the high-performance vehicle a "death trap". The funnyman proudly purchased a replica of the iconic car used in the time-traveling 1985 movie last year (14), and he paid out $20,000 for customised equipment to personalise it.
However, he has now revealed the luxury vehicle has spent 12 months in storage because he drove it just twice and was terrified of its powerful engine.
MacFarlane tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, "I drove it twice, realized it was a death trap and it's sat in my garage for a year!"
I think they are talking about a different car.

Unless he did the work himself, doesn't it cost a LOT more for a time machine conversion?
However, he has now revealed the luxury vehicle has spent 12 months in storage because he drove it just twice and was terrified of its powerful engine.
Yet I bet he'll drop big money on a Ferrari.

Maybe he doesn't know how to drive.
