By now, it is widely known that Michael J. Fox was not the first actor cast to play Marty McFly. The failed Eric Stoltz experiment has become the stuff of behind-the-scenes legend. However, what was revealed in We Don’t Need Roads that changed my perspective on history (at least Back to the Future’s history) is that Robert Zemeckis wanted Michael J...
Injuries do occur on film sets, this is nothing new. However, the severity of the injuries suffered by stuntwoman Cheryl Wheeler on the set of Back to the Future Part 2was further amplified by the completely avoidable nature of the accident. Wheeler was the stunt double for the female member of Griff’s gang: Spike. The moment in which Griff’s gang ...
When Fox landed the role of Marty McFly, once Stoltz had been let go, he was still in the process of filming Family Ties. Back to the Future was now six weeks behind schedule and essentially having to start over so neither project could afford to give Fox time off. So he filmed both concordantly. He would shoot Family Tiesin the morning then shoot ...
As we all know, Elizabeth Shue was the second actress to portray Marty’s girlfriend Jennifer Parker; taking over the role for Claudia Wells in Back to the Future Part 2. As it turns out, Shue was the third actress to win the role! Melora Hardin (best known as troubled Dunder Mifflin executive Jan Levinson on the American version of The Office) was ...
Looking at his various film roles, it isn’t difficult to leap to the conclusion that Crispin Glover is an eccentric performer. Evidently, that eccentricity is not limited to the confines of the silver screen. Glover claims that Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis did not negotiate fairly with his agent for his salary for the upcoming second film due to a ...
Foreshadowed by the Buster Keaton clock in his laboratory during the film’s opening scene, Doc Brown ends up hanging precariously from the 1955 iteration of Hill Valley’s clock tower during Back to the Future’sclimax. We all know this sequence; it’s the only scene that appears in all three films of the franchise! What you may not know is that Chris...
It is always fascinating to see which shared subsets of passion will unite cinephiles. For Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, their bonding moment at USC, which would lead to not only the Back to the Future franchise but the launch of their careers, centered on one unforgettable soundtrack. Apparently they bonded over the fact that they both owned the s...
I remember even as a kid being completely baffled by the copious amounts of peanut brittle consumed by George McFly at the dinner table in Back to the Future. He poured out a box of brittle into a bowl as if he were prepping his morning cereal, and what makes the moment all the more strange is the perplexed look Marty gives his father when the bowl...
Given the changeover at leading man, the first Back to the Futurehad an incredibly rushed production schedule in order to finish and turn in its completed print to the studio on June 23rd, 1985. Universal, in a show of appreciation that now seems totally foreign to major film studios, took out a full page ad in Variety with every crew member’s name...
We’ve already mentioned the unceremonious replacement of Melora Hardin at the role of Jennifer due to nothing more than her being too tall. Evidently, each different actress who subsequently occupied that role suffered hardship and tragedy. Claudia Wells, Back to the Future’s Jennifer, had to decline to return for the sequels due to her mother’s ba...
The first feature film produced by Dr. Ross was the New Line Cinema release SECONDHAND LIONS which achieved both critical and box office success. A native of New York City, Dr. Ross began his career in Media Studies at Hofstra University where he graduated with a BS in Communication Arts ('74).
