Eric Stoltz Was Original 'Back To The Future' Marty McFly (VIDEO)

WATCH: Eric Stoltz Was The Original Marty McFly

Fans of Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly will want to watch the clip below from the bonus features of the Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy collection out Oct. 26. We get a peek at what the movie would have looked like if director Robert Zemeckis didn't realize after five weeks of filming that Eric Stoltz, who was originally cast as the teen time traveler, had different "comedy sensibilities" than himself and his co-writer Bob Gale. As executive producer Steven Spielberg recalls in the clip, Zemeckis showed him some footage and said he didn't think they were getting the kind of laughs they wanted.
