CLAUDIA WELLS, JEFFREY WISEMAN, & BILLY ZANE WILL BE IN ATTENDANCE
Los Angeles, CA – July 19, 2011 – The screen used DeLorean from Back to the Future III will be at the Profiles in History booth #1605 at Comic-Con the entire week! Actors from the films will be in attendance as well. Claudia Wells will be at the booth on Wednesday beginning at 7pm and Thursday and Friday beginning at 10AM. Jeffrey Wiseman will be there on Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning at 10 AM and making his first ever appearance at Comic-Con, Billy Zane will be at the booth all day Saturday and Sunday starting at 10 AM.
Where are all the real DeLorean Time Machines that were used in the Back to the Future movies? Sadly, some of them no longer exist and others are in need of extensive work. Of the seven cars used over the three movies, only three original cars are thought to still exist. Presented by Profiles in History, the famed auction house that represented the Debbie Reynolds Collection this summer, the screen used DeLorean from Back to the Future III will be at Comic-Con 2011 for public viewing in conjunction with Team Fox benefiting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. The main goal is to give fans the opportunity to see and be photographed in the car. For a $20 donation to the Foundation you can be photographed in the DeLorean with all proceeds going to Team Fox.
Profiles in History is proud to present the original DeLorean Time Machine driven by Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future III. It will be presented at booth 1605, along with several original artifacts from all three Back to the Future movies with the hopes of creating a Back To The Future “museum” experience. Along with the Time Machine will be original costumes, the Tales From Space comic, Doc’s burned toy Cadillac, Clock Tower cables, Gray’s Almanac, the Doc Brown committed/commended newspapers, a full set of all five types of hoverboards, and other rarely seen pieces of cinematic history.
The Time Machine has been in private hands for the past 8 years, and was recently featured on the Hollywood Treasure television show hosted by Joe Maddalena. Joe and his staff will be at the booth in person to greet fans, and share these rare pieces of history. In conjunction with Team Fox, this is a rare opportunity to get your pictures taken with the original Time Machine.
Available for viewing during advertised Comic-Con show hours, the Time Machine Delorean and Back to the Future museum promises to be one of the highlights of Comic Con. The screen used Delorean be in the December Profiles in History auction later this year, with a portion of the proceeds going to Team Fox benefiting The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Previously it could be seen at the San Diego Air & Space Museum.
