eric stoltz as the original marty mcfly: back to the future footage

See Eric Stoltz as the original Marty McFly in the Back to The Future part 1.

Eric was originally casted for the iconic role but during the first few days of filming in 1985, Director Robert Zemeckis noted that the portayal of Marty lacked the comedic timing that Zemeckis wanted. According to Zemeckis:

“[Eric Stoltz] is a magnificent actor, but his comedy sensibilities were very different from what I’d written with [co-writer] Bob [Gale]. So I had to make this horrific [casting replacement] decision which was very heartbreaking for everybody. But luckily, I was able to convince the studio to let me reshoot the five weeks of work [with Michael J. Fox].”

The same clips will be seen in the Blu-ray version of Back To The Future coming out next month.

The Thing: Prequel in the Works

The Thing was the first horror-suspense film I saw that really, REALLY terrified me and triggered my phobia of John Carpenter movies! I remember seeing this on betamax when my Grandmother, who owned the very first betamax player in our community, would host a movie night for her Catholic Women's League buddies back in the early 80s.


Now there's a prequel in the works and the teaser premiered this week at Comic-Con. This one I got from youtube and is kinda blurry:



I hope this other one is better:

I'm not sure if I'm ready to see this version of The Thing as an adult 25 years later but just reminiscing about this movie already give me the creeps!
