HollywoodReporter: "Everyone knows the classic 1985 film "Back to the Future" featured a boyish Michael J. Fox in a winning performance as Marty McFly.
But Fox was not the original McFly. In fact, Eric Stoltz was five weeks into shooting the famed McFly role when director and co-writer Robert Zemeckis made a drastic production decision -- changing his lead actor."
In a world where monsters attack at night, we see yet another world, post-apocalypse, where a handful of people struggle to survive.
Crime Scene Berlin-Nightlife Killer Review: This documentary series really drops the ball with its storytelling.
In a movie that largely sidesteps what the war is about, “Civil War” puts us in the point of view of journalists who make it clear there are no heroes in war, just dead bodies.
Wow, that's incredible. It's so weird seeing those exact same scenes with someone else as McFly. That's incredibly cool. These days I couldn't see a movie company letting that happen though (who would have thought they'd go with it back then?). There's no way a company these days would really let a filmmaker start over and redo 5 weeks of shooting unless something horrible happened.
We're thankful they did replace him. MJF was perfect, imo.
