Check Out An Awesome, Previously Unseen, Alternate ‘Back To The Future’ Poster

In the case of Back to the Future, there are several that we’ve seen over the years, but one more has only just recently been unveiled for the first time. Check it out below!
Here’s the never-before-seen alternate Back to the Future poster from Ewbank Auctions:
Our friends at Collider called our attention to this poster, which will be part of a series of movie poster auctions taking place in February 2016 at Ewbank Auctions. This is the first time the public has seen this unused poster for the movie. Reportedly, the poster was recently found after a former employee at Lonsdale Advertising in England came across it in their collection. What’s even more interesting is that no one knows who the artist of the poster is yet, even with the internet to help us.
Even more interesting is that the iconic DeLorean time machine is barely featured on the poster, even though it’s become a cornerstone of the franchise. You can only see the nose of the DeLorean barely peeking out, though the juxtaposition with a classic car is a cool effect in the poster design.
If you’re a hardcore Back to the Future fan and you must have this for your collection, the auction house is estimating the 27x40 inch poster at £200-£400 (or about $300-$600) when it goes on the block in February of 2016. Of course, for that kind of money, you could probably pick up some kind of cool prop replica from the film as well. Still, this is a one-of-a-kind poster concept, and I can see it raking in significantly more than what’s estimated, especially since this was such a big year for Back to the Future fans.
