Michael J. Fox’s ‘Future Boy’ Reveals Private Eric Stoltz Meeting, New Back to the Future Set Details

It contextualizes the recast and set dynamics through Fox’s post‑diagnosis outlook.

Overview

  • Fox writes that Eric Stoltz declined to be interviewed for the memoir but met him in fall 2024 in New York for a first-ever conversation.
  • He says parts of their discussion remain private at Stoltz’s request, and the two now keep up a friendly email exchange about family and films.
  • The book recounts that Stoltz was replaced about six weeks into production after dailies showed a tonal mismatch for Marty McFly.
  • Fox describes on‑set friction with Crispin Glover, including a crew‑built corral of sandbags and C‑stands to keep Glover on his mark.
  • He revisits the day‑night schedule that let him film Family Ties and Back to the Future simultaneously, and notes his foundation has raised over $2 billion for research.
