I love how he didn't blame everyone else for it. Not nowadays.

Impossible to imagine anyone but mj Fox. How far into filming did Stoltz go?

The Once and Future Love is HERE! 📚🔥🫶🏻 Ferghus MacLeod is shocked to find himself in a country he's never heard of before, in the home of the bonniest lass he's ever laid eyes upon. Her Canadian accent warms his blood and almost makes him forget he should try to return home. It wouldn't hurt if he stuck around for a few more days, would it?🫦 As Ferghus tries to acclimatize himself to life in the 21st century, and Brigid attempts to win a survival competition, the pair discovers their chance meeting might not have been as accidental as they once believed. Not only could the star-crossed lovers be in danger, but the rest of humanity, too.⏳ Available on Amazon in Kindle, Paperback, and Hardcover formats. $3.99 #Kindle, or #free with #KU. The Future Bride is Book 1 in the complete series: 🥋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 No heavy politics.

They wanted someone that would more comical that would "mug" for the camera and Stolz is a real actor. Bad casting..

Back to the Future. It’s a defining, all-time summer blockbuster that almost didn’t happen had Robert Zemeckis not realized that Eric Stoltz was not suited to play Marty McFly. Zemeckis deserves eternal credit for recognizing that Michael J. Fox was better suited for the role & it literally made the entire difference. If Stoltz remained as McFly, there’s no chance the trilogy is anywhere near as good as it is & Rob is responsible.

Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future (1985). Marty McFly using a skateboard to escape Biff and his crew remains one of the most enticing chase scenes of the 80s. A reminder that Back to the Future is still one of the greatest trilogy ever made⚡️🎬

Mind = BLOWN. I’ve watched Back to the Future a million times and never noticed this insane detail. Marty McFly literally altered the timeline just by hitting that one pine tree. The attention to detail in 1985 cinema was unmatched. Did you catch this easter egg the first time around?

BACK TO THE FUTURE was released 41 years ago today. Five weeks into filming, Eric Stoltz was fired and replaced by Michael J. Fox. Nearly every scene had to be reshot, making it one of the most expensive casting changes in Hollywood history.
