Show of hands, who else wants to see a movie where Jeff Goldbloom was cast as Doc Brown that ends up becoming a crossover between BTTF and The Fly entitled "The McFly"?
Just wanted to say it's pretty funny in retrospect that there was the mention of waiting for the Cubs to eventually win the World Series, and then a year after this video went up, the Cubs won the World Series.
Ok so I have a theory. In the Alternate Timeline at the End of Back to the Future we will have a better version of Voyager . Hear me out George McFly would have graduated college around 59/60 . Perhaps with Lorraine's encouragement and his boasted confidence he submitted his stories to magazines and perhaps one or two of these stories attracted the attention of Rod Serling who hires George as writer for the Twilight Zone, following that perhaps Roddenberry hires him onto Star Trek where he written several Fan favourite episodes. After the cancellation of Star Trek George begins to focus on his family, maybe writing more short stories and scripts . Then in the late 80s after Marty has left home to begin his music career he gets a call saying that Roddenberry is bringing back Star Trek, he returns, writes more fan favourite scripts until finally the suits in charge tell him that they're making a new Star Trek show and they need someone to run it, so they appoint George the showrunner of Voyager and is able to do it well
As always an enlightening review. Things I never knew and things I never suspected behind series or movies that I like. Almost all of your reviews result into me either watching or reading about the reviewed subject.This was no exception. But on Wikipedia I read a slightly different story about the actress playing the girlfriend. According to her Wikipedia page she had been cast to play the girlfriend, but was unable to play the part due to contract obligations for a tv show. The role was then recast. By the time Stoltz was let go and Fox hired, she was again available and was recast in the role. This suggests that it wasn't just Fox his smaller size, but also, like with Fox, availability of a preferred actress.But considering how thoroughly you always research these reviews and the unreliability of Wikipedia, I suspect that you either found nothing to support this or facts that dispute it.
There is a similar story about a 1960s film. It was by 20th century Fox who was hemorrhaging money due to _Cleopatra_ . Looking around for films in production to ax they thought they found one. It was a war picture which didn't do all that well at the box office and more importantly it was in black and white which thanks to color really didn't do well at the box office. But the producer, Darryl F. Zanuck, believed in the film and wound up in control of the studio. The film would go on to get nominated for five Academy Awards winning two of them and gross more then 7 times what it had cost to make making if the hit the studio so desperately needed. The name of the film? _The Longest Day_
wait, i just realized something. the part of marty trying to kill himself might explain a theory i've heard saying doc brown wanted to kill himself. So the theory goes is that doc brown tried to kill him with the time machine if the time machine didnt work. This "evidence" is that in the through out doc browns life, basically almost all his inventions failed. so he basically got in front of the time machine in the movie so he could kill himself if it didnt work. Im basically trying to say that the part of marty trying to kill himself with the time machine was switched with doc brown trying to kill himself or just being very unsafe with the time machine, which again, was also "scrapped" and thats why its still just a theory.
Every time watch one of these behind-the-scenes videos I always have the same thought: Becoming a big shot movie exec is just dumb, stupid luck. These guys are no smarter than the average Joe and they are wrong far more often than they are right.
Back to Future 4 should have Doc going back in time and changing things so much that Marty changes into Eric Stoltz. We get to watch the Stoltz film and then Doc is able to fix things and get the real Marty back
