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.
