Thumbs Up from Einstein...
The
first weeks of 2015 Back to the Future
got a lot of media attention, and we also hopped on the bandwagon.
First of all because 2015 is the year that the first chapter in this
great trilogy turns 30 (I wonder if anybody has noticed ?), but also
because 2015 is the year that Marty and friends visited in the second
installment.
For
my entry today therefor I went back to the past of Back
to the Future part II.
Back
in those days I worked in a cinema myself and that meant I could
sometimes lay my hands on press kits from various films. However in
the Netherlands those Press Kits were mostly made up of xeroxes of US
Press Kits. The only difference being the advertisements that had
Dutch texts added to them.
In
Germany however the Press Kits were specially made. Besides a short
synopsis (sometimes more than one, varying in length so newspaper had
something to chose from), they usually included the advertisements
for the films, varying in size (first week ads usually were/are
bigger than ads for consecutive weeks).
Unlike
the American Stills, the German Stills (at least the ones released by
UIP
(a distributor that released films from Paramount,
MGM
and Universal thus
including all the Amblin-productions)
in those days) weren't released as single Stills, usually there were
4 to 8 Stills (depending on their size) attached to each other (like
large post stamps) in the size of a regular film-poster. So they
could be used as a poster or, after tearing the Stills apart, as
separate Lobby Stills in the theater windows.
