He was right. His Marty was punk, he would have been listening to bands like The Replacements or Government Issue.
Thank you.
The film was basically completed. When the Stoltz scandal occurred All the main actors stated that they worried they would be fired too. I mean, they were basically shooting the movie again. It wasn’t paranoid of them to worry.
This isn’t the forum for it but their is a lot of occult symbolism surrounding the movie, Stoltz and Fox. Again this whole series had a lot of shady things going on in the backrooms.
Also, I think Stoltz could not sue because they paid him for a completed film. I really think they worked BOTH films to post production. Those who are connected were able to see the Stoltz version.
Considering the inside out behavior of occultists, consider that we the public got the worst version.
I generally like Hurt, however he seems a little awkward here. Maybe that was just the character. Also he doesn’t look Russian at all nor does he have the mannerisms.
Look up an interview with Christopher Lloyd on YT.
He says at the time he didn't know if he could hit his marks AGAIN. What part of AGAIN is not clear? You can only do something AGAIN if you did it before and completed it.
They only released certain scenes but more pictures. They filmed the scenes in the beginning where he gets caught by the Principal for being late. They filmed the scenes where he first arrives in 55. They filmed the scene where the father gets bulllied by Biff. They filmed the chase sequences because there are numerous photos of Stoltz dressed in the 50s costume and holding a skateboard. They filmed the scenes where he met Lorraine because there are pictures of it. Any scene with Lloyd, they completed. There are also picture of Stoltz on the Enchantment Under the Sea school dance.
They filmed this movie Twice. And since Lloyd stated that Spielberg was present when it was announced that Stoltz was fired, that answers the question of the original post.
Standard filming takes about 2 months to 4 depending. Longer if you use outrageous examples like Kubrick.
6 weeks is almost a complete film shoot.
They had ALL the major scenes with Stoltz. Then they filmed them again.
I wouldn't believe Zemeckis. He and the others sucker punched Crispin Glover. He sued them and won.
Wonder why Stoltz didn't sue? They must have made it worth his while. We'll never know.
Do your research. There are small clips and photos of Stoltz in all the major scenes.
He filmed the WHOLE movie. All the big set pieces. All they needed to finish were pick up scenes and voice looping.
They really filmed this movie TWICE.
And I'm sure there is a working print of the Stoltz version.
You don't film a whole movie with an actor you don't like. Doesn't happen.
Plus you don't get to REFILM a whole movie just to change an actor.
Something shady was going on with this movie. Who knows if we will ever find out what was going on.
But the only one who had the power to change a lead actor and film a movie again with a new actor is Spielberg.
The Hughes related film I liked was Home Alone. I hated all his teen movies. I thought they were obnoxious and full of wish fulfillment on his part.
There is something really strange about a grown adult still trying to work out problems from his teen years. In public, no less.
This film was made because he hated that Molly Ringwald didn't end up of with his Gary Stu self Insert Ducky. Ringwald correctly deduced that her character would never be interested in Ducky. She was correct. The problem remains in this film. It is not believable that Ducky Watts would ever end up with Keith.
I can't imagine her in the Ferris movie. Granted I never liked that movie at all.
Maybe she was going to be the Sister character?
