Great Scott! Christopher Lloyd Confirmed For Back To The Future Game
We've known for awhile that the adventure game masters at Telltale Games have been working on a downloadable series based on the Back to the Future movies, but today the upcoming game got a giant dose of crazy-haired credibility with the announcement of Christopher Lloyd's participation in the project.
USA Today is reporting that Lloyd will voice the video game incarnation of Doc Brown, the Lybian-swindling scientist who learned the dangers of time travel in the iconic movie trilogy from the '80s. We also learned that Bob Gale, the man who wrote the screenplays for the films, will be helping shape the plot for the game. What that plot will entail is still unknown, but USA Today is reporting that the game will be set in Hill Valley, and feature the series' signature flux capacitor-fueled DeLorean.
The first downloadable episode of Back To The Future will be released this winter.
