Central Park Films
Before you watch this new trailer, you should know right up front that despite the title, "Back to 1942" is not a time travel adventure and Marty McFly is nowhere to be seen. So that's a bit depressing.

Only one rejected writer continues to grab Griffin's attention: the unidentified one who keeps sending threatening postcards and faxes.
After Griffin confronts and kills the writer he believes is harassing him, the frazzled producer piles lie on top of lie to the police (Whoopi Goldberg and Lyle Lovett) and colleagues while he starts to fall for the dead writer's girlfriend (Greta Scacchi, remember her?). Get More »
