Watch Eric Stoltz as Marty Mcfly in Back to the Future!

Back to the Future: 25th Anniversary Trilogy Blu-ray will be released on October 26. The Hollywood Reporter has our first look at one of the special features included on this release, which offers, for the first time ever, footage of Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly. Eric Stoltz was originally cast as the lead in Robert Zemeckis' classic time travel adventure-comedy, and he embodied the now-classic role of Marty McFly for five weeks before being replaced by Michael J. Fox. Both producer Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis made this drastic and unheard of decision because they felt the actor had a different comedic approach to the material that was written, and that he didn't have the right comedic timing for this particular character.

Click on the video below for your first ever glimpse at Eric Stoltz's version of Marty McFly, and you can also take a look at the cover art and special features of this BD trilogy release below:

    yeah if back to the future was a creepy thriller then stoltz would have been perfect, but for a silly comedy obviously fox worked better.

    Stoltz is an awesome actor but i can see even from these scenes where he had no dialogue that (just like they said) something was missing.

    same as @Diaigma... no clue. looks like a smart and bold recast, though i'd still like to see some footage with dialogue!
    stoltz woulda made B2F a time travel drama... crazy how one actor's approach could change an entire franchise (much like Johnny Depp's turn as Jack Sparrow). crazy.

  20. Jimthar

    kinda disappointed that none of that footage had dialogue in it. but whats funny is they even redesigned the wardrobe. in the MJ FOX version of the film he had different clothes on in those scenes. :D
