Quite possibly the most famous film of the 1980s, Back to the Future has long since transcended the heights of pop culture, acquiring a fabled place in the hearts and minds of the average movie-goer.
But in its earliest days of filming, the 1985 sci-fi classic might have looked startlingly different.
As most dedicated Back to the Future fans likely know, Stoltz had been cast in the role of Marty McFly, filming a majority of the character's scenes for four to six weeks of continuous filming.
“He wasn’t giving us the kind of humor that we thought the character should have," Gale elaborated. "He actually thought the movie turned out to be a tragedy because he ends up in a 1985 where a lot of his life is different."
“[Zemeckis] said he thought that possibly Eric was relieved: it was not like a devastating blow to him," Gale said. "This is just hindsight and speculation but maybe Eric’s agents thought that it would be a good career move for him to do a movie like this that had Spielberg involved. Who knows?”
Following Stoltz's dismissal, Michael J. Fox was promptly cast as the puckish teenage time traveler. The rest, as they say, is history.
