A Jaws 19 trailer has just been released by Universal Pictures. This clever trailer is a spoof in tribute to the 1989 movie Back to the Future II where Marty McFly travels into the future.

In the movie, shortly after McFly arrives in the fictional future, he is standing outside a movie theater when a 3D shark hologram jumps out at him. The digital image is a promo for the upcoming movie Jaws 19 . Although startled at first, he regains his composure and says, “The shark still looks fake.”

For the past 26 years, fans of the Back to the Future franchise have been anxiously awaiting October 21, 2015. This is the date Marty McFly arrives in the future. Interestingly, although there is no real Jaws 19 movie, some of Back to the Future’s predictions have come about.

Just as in Back to the Future II , “Pepsi Perfect” will be real, well for a short time anyway. PepsiCo will be releasing a limited edition line of “Pepsi Perfect” bottles on October 21. There will only be 6,500 bottles available and only sold online for $20.15. Despite the “Perfect” label, the beverage inside the bottle will be the same, usual Pepsi. If you want to get one early, PepsiCo will have 1,500 bottles available at New York Comic Con about a week before than the official release.

In a report by WOKV News , Nike is planning to release self-lacing, light-up shoes similar to the ones worn by Marty in the 1989 sequel. The laces will be powered by motorized rollers that tighten when someone’s foot is inserted into the shoe. Supposedly, the shoes are an enhanced version of its Nike Air Mag line that was released in 2011.

According to a recent article by the Independent , Back to the Future II hoverboards will soon be a reality. With the help of funding raised through Kickstarter, Arx Pax will be shipping its Hendo Hoverboard. The board is powered with four “hover engines” and levitates via a self-generating magnetic field. If you pledged $10,000 or more to the project, you will be one of the first to get one.

Tablets, hi-tech eyewear like Google Glass, and video conferencing were all foreseen in the movie and have come into existence. However, fax machines still being widely used in 2015 was something Back to the Future II got wrong. Also, many are still waiting for the flying cars too.

According to the movie, the Chicago Cubs are supposed to win the World Series in 2015. Many baseball fans are wondering if that is still a possibility.

One other prediction that did not reach our present reality was a release of an actual Jaws 19 film. Even though back in 1989 when Back to the Future II was in theaters, moviegoers felt that the possibility of it happening felt real as October 21, 2015 seemed like such a long time away. Yet, now that the date is upon us and no movie, at least we have the Jaws 19 trailer to entertain us.

With Hollywood’s recent deluge of sequels and remakes, there is no telling if a Jaws 19 will somehow become a reality. However, as previously reported by the Inquisitr , a Back to the Future reboot may be in the works.

Another trailer recently released trailer has Christopher Lloyd returning as Doc Brown. Apparently it is a teaser for a short film that will be released as a bonus feature on the upcoming Back to the Future 30th anniversary Blue-Ray set.

If you want to experience the Back to the Future movies again, Universal Pictures plans to re-release all three films in limited theaters on October 21, while Amazon Prime will be streaming them as well.
