Fascinating footage of Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly. It really would have been a different movie had he retained the role... as he played Marty McFly more serious than Michael J Fox...

I've seen stills before but never any footage. I love "what could have been" stuff like this.

The director, whose name slips my mind, had intentionally not released this footage before in respect to Eric Stoltz. Guess things change. Fascinating to see.

It would have bombed without Fox. Although Stoltz looks more like George McFly...

Enough time has passed and Stoltz got plenty of work, so I don't think it is in bad form now.

Stoltz stinks in that role, and this freed him up to play his role of a lifetime, in Some Kind of Wonderful.

Yeah, I don't think Stoltz gives a shit any more.

Stoltz was already a critically acclaimed actor, having done "Mask." He didn't need the Marty McFly role.

I was going to ask the same thing about your comment...

So do I - I'd never heard of this before, though, and seeing that footage was pretty odd. I really loved that movie when it first appeared.

I, for one, prefer the darker, grittier Back to the Future.

Eric really Stoltz the show.

'Back To The Future' co-creator reveals how Marty and Doc became friends

The co-creator of Back To The Future, Bob Gale, has finally laid to rest a question that has been raised by film fans for year: How did Doc Brown and Marty McFly become friends? During an internet discussion about the origin of the characters' friendship, the co-writer of the classic sci-fi adventure weighed in with the final word.

Posting on Mental Floss, Gale explained the backstory he and Robert Zemeckis came up with:

Quote:
For years, Marty was told that Doc Brown was dangerous, a crackpot, a lunatic. Marty snuck into Doc's lab, and was fascinated by all the cool stuff that was there. When Doc found him there, he was delighted to find that Marty thought he was cool and accepted him for what he was.

From there Gale explains that Doc gave Marty a part-time job helping out around the house, feeding Einstein and the rest, as they say, is history.

Due to the time travel aspect of the film, theories about just how the Back To The Future pair became pals have included the idea that Doc made friends with Marty knowing that he would eventually help him out in 1955.

It's safe to say, the more you go down this route of thinking the more your brain will hurt.

Last year saw the 25-year anniversary of the Steven Spielberg-produced family adventure classic. The trilogy is available to buy on Blu-ray.

What? What? So we are supposed to believe that Doc forgot all about Marty and wasn't waiting for him to appear in 1985? And he forgot he was keeping the taped up letter?

Now THAT foolishness makes my brain hurt.

No, he's saying that's how they met in the original timeline.

So has anyone else tried the Back to the Future game by Telltale Games? I tried the first chapter so far and it has a great feel to it, a lot like the movie. It makes for a fun sequel to the trilogy.

And that may be how they met in the other timeline as well, but this time around Doc Brown was waiting to meet him.

Perhaps this time he unlocked the window rather than have it broken?

Been meaning to buy it for the iPad for quite some time! Maybe on this vacation I'm on.

Unlikely, as Doc Brown probably still wouldn't have known how they met.

I think I saw they are running a sale too. I haven't played past the first chapter since they don't support android yet. I just got a Galaxy 101 and am looking forward to Telltale's products.
