As Back to the Future fans know, part of the second film in the trilogy takes place in the year 2015, and we all wanted the cool futuristic gizmos featured in the movie like hoverboards and flying cars.
Well, the year 2015 is not that far off, and, while we probably won’t have flying cars or hoverboards by then, Nike is currently working on a patent to develop self-lacing sneakers – very similar to what Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future II. Read on for details!

PCM has posted in the past about the campaign by the guys over at Back to Frank Black to get a movie made based on the television series Millennium that aired from 1996-1999. Lance Henriksen, who played the main character of “Frank Black” on the show, is 100% in support of the campaign and has regular communication with Back to Frank Black on the matter. Others who were involved with the show, such as Chris Carter, Frank Spotnitz and Glen Morgan, have also expressed interest.
The show was canceled before it ever got a chance to have a proper conclusion, which is what the movie would accomplish if it were to get made. One of the things Back to Frank Black is doing is holding a Movie Poster Art Contest (which starts Monday, July 26th), in which Lance Henriksen himself will pick the winner! Read on for details, as well as a promotional trailer for the competition.
