Dutch pinball doing " Back to the future ? "

[crujones4life]

Just wanted to check in with my UK friends. Not sure who has heard what at this point. Here is what we "know" so far. Dutch has expanded into another building and has hired more people. Dutch is building AIW for somebody else. It's NOT their next game. BTTF is the next Dutch pin. Reveal in the fall of this year. Minimum of 2 tiers but it may be a 3 tier. Different from TBL. Kapow, Dutch, Bob Gale collaborative effort on this pin. Franchi on art. Lior on sculpts. All the relevant assets (minus Crispin Glover). All 3 movies represented with a major focus on the 1st movie.

I think we can plan on a price of at least $13000 USD for lowest tier. Y'all in at that price? I am!

I’m in

Crujones hard to deny that you’re gaining legendary international status for your passion and promotion on BTTF 2, to the point where Dutch should probably give you a gratis top tier model in appreciation of your efforts!
I’ve heard (think kaneda) say that there may be 3 tiers SE, LE, SLE….$13k would be £13k in uk so would have to be price for LE not SE to get a serious volume of sales through in current market

Hey I'd love to be surprised with a SE under $10000! We will find out later this year. Dutch Pinball...you know where to find me if you wanna hook a brother up!

Why no Crispin? Seems odd

Well he was massively ****ed off and sued them when they used a lookey likey for him in BTTF2 without his permission after he decided he didn’t want to be involved in it. So there’s that I don’t think he has much love for the franchise.

 

[Big Phil]

Hhhmmmm I guess that would do it.

It's been years since I watched BTTF2 but can't say I ever noticed it was a different actor.

It was only a short flashback scene iirc . They used prosthetics and he looked pretty close to Glover.

 

[Kelsbells]

He’s ok enough with the franchise that apparently he still a regular at events signing stuff

Guys gotta make a living somehow. I'm guessing LA isn't keen on hiring litigious actors.

Loved Glover in his early career. Rivers Edge 1986 was great . Also starred a young Keanu Reeves, and the legend Dennis Hopper.

Dutch have hired the look alike from BTTF2, he was willing and cheaper
