Check out the art below!<\/p>\n<p>Tim Flattery, one of the &#8220;future consultants&#8221; for <em>Back to the Future Part II<\/em>, was tasked with creating the not-too-distant future of 2015. He specializes in designing futuristic cars, but admits this was a daunting task.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was petrified,\u201d Flattery recalls. \u201cWhenever you design and build stuff like that from the ground up, something\u2019s going to go wrong on set. It always does. There&#8217;s all sorts of stories about things that happened with the police car.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The concept art belongs to one of Flattery&#8217;s co-workers, Edward Eyth, who specializes in designing props and smaller set pieces, such as the microwave dehydrator. There were even a lot of pieces designed that didn&#8217;t make it for the final cut, according to Eyth, including a wrist communication device and \u201ca giant aquarium [in Marty McFly\u2019s future home] where you can harvest fish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Director Robert Zemeckis didn&#8217;t want anything too flashy for Marty&#8217;s middle-class lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith [screenwriter] Bob Gale and Bob Zemeckis, they wanted a future that made those things they dreamt of as kids attainable, like flying cars,\u201d said Flattery.<\/p>\n<p>This film is especially exciting because we&#8217;re in 2015 and so many of these futuristic pieces are real, or at least in progress. The future has officially arrived.<\/p>\n<h3>New <em>Back to the Future<\/em> Concept Art<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2015 is the year of Back to the Future Part II and Marty McFly is headed our way!
