    Expedition Back to the Future (Discovery+ Series)
    Authentic Prop Newspapers - Set of 3
    THE DELOREAN NEWSPAPER DOES NOT ACTUALLY HAVE A PHOTO DUE TO PRODUCTION SCHEDULE ISSUES
    I provided all of the custom prop newspapers that are seen throughout the new 4-part Discovery+ documentary series 'Expedition Back to the Future'. It was an incredible honor to be able to make a small contribution to such a fun and awesome project!
    The show features Christopher Lloyd and Josh Gates, with appearances by Michael J. Fox and many other cast members, fans, and people involved in the production of the movies, and also those involved in the construction of the original DeLorean Time Machines, and members of the 2015 Time Machine Restoration team.
    These newspapers are 4 page full-size broadsheets, just like the original BTTF movie props. They have the same inside and back pages as the originals as well.
    Each newspaper is a single complete 4-page broadsheet, which includes the full and complete front page, two inside pages, and the back page. For any prop newspaper in the movies which had more pages than that, they just added 4-page filler broadsheets with the same two inside pages repeating, or sometimes had real newspapers
    added for filler instead.
    The newspapers are from the same print run as the props used in the show,
    and there will NEVER be any more printed after these (approx. 100) sets are sold out.
    A number of these sets have already been sold elsewhere.
    I am Daniel R. Bramblett, the 'staff writer' that is credited on the front page of all the newspapers.
    Each set includes the following:
    1. DeLorean Time Machine Raises Record $$$ For Foundation!
    *NOTE: THIS NEWSPAPER HAS NO ACTUAL PHOTO. The production schedule required the prop newspapers to be shipped before the final photo was available, so the image was added to every shot in post production. The actual props have an empty photo area with registration markings for the reference of the effect crew. I am unable to obtain the photo that was used in the show, but you may be able to print a copy from a screenshot and add it to the page. The original movie prop maker used to do this exact same trick to add color photos to prop newspapers in the 80s and 90s.
    2. Blank Headline and Photo. This newspaper was used for the changing/transition effect in episode 4, and has no headline or photo.
    3. Cold Front / Weather Map. This is the alternate newspaper from episode 4, featuring a weather map with Easter Egg references to the names of other fans who have helped with my past projects.
    The newspapers with blank areas would be perfect for autographs.
    The sets will be shipped in a large, flat photo mailer with cardboard backing on both sides to protect the newspapers.
    I will also include a COA with details of the production of these props for the show.
    100% OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS ITEM WILL BE DONATED TO THE MICHAEL J. FOX FOUNDATION FOR PARKINSON'S RESEARCH.
    I WILL SEND A CHECK FOR THE FINAL DONATION AMOUNT TO MJFF AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH MONTH, WITH THE NAMES OF ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED.
    I WILL ALSO SEND A COPY OF THIS INFORMATION TO EACH BUYER.
    PER SET WILL BE DONATED TO THE MICHAEL J. FOX FOUNDATION FOR PARKINSON'S RESEARCH.
    THE REMAINING PORTION OF YOUR PURCHASE PRICE COVERS THE COST OF PRIORITY MAIL SHIPPING & PACKAGING MATERIALS.
    INTERNATIONAL ORDERS WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING FEES.
    ANY LEFT OVER FUNDS FROM THE SALE OF THIS ITEM WILL BE ADDED TO THE FINAL GROUP DONATION EACH MONTH.
    Thanks!
