Summary
- Back to the Future franchise celebrates 40th anniversary
- Original movie back in theaters this weekend
- Michael J. Fox's iconic role as Marty McFly
The Back to the Future franchise is celebrating a major milestone this year, as the beloved time-traveling trilogy marks its 40th anniversary. To commemorate the occasion, the original 1985 film is being re-released in theaters this weekend, giving fans a chance to revisit the iconic adventures of Marty McFly and Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown.
While Eric Stoltz was initially cast in the lead role, it's impossible to imagine the film without Michael J. Fox's unforgettable performance as Marty. Fox's comedic talents and charismatic screen presence were instrumental in making the movie a smash hit, and his portrayal of the teenage time traveler cemented his status as a bonafide movie star.
Over the course of three films, Marty and Doc's misadventures in the past, present, and future of Hill Valley have captivated audiences for decades. The filmmakers, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, have steadfastly refused to reboot or expand the franchise, ensuring the trilogy remains a beloved, self-contained classic.
