Eric Stoltz was cast in the role of Marty McFly for 6 weeks of filming before Bob Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg deemed him "too intense" for the role and let him go. They were then able to get Michael J. Fox, their first choice for Marty, who had at first been unable to play the role, due to a scheduling conflict with his TV series "Family Ties." Thankfully, his boss Gary David Goldberg allowed him to juggle the two projects, and the rest is history!
Interesting fact Jared! Aaron and I were just watching the end of Back to the Future III the other night. I think my favorite is still the second one. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, the second one is the best one. Did you know that the original script for part II was actually written for the 60's?
