A poignant, heartfelt and funny memoir about how, in 1985, Michael J Fox brought two iconic roles to life simultaneously - Alex Keaton in Family Ties and Marty McFly in Back to the Future. Here is the amazing true story, as only Michael J Fox can tell it ...

In early 1985, Michael J. Fox was one of the biggest stars on television. His world was about to get even bigger, but only if he could survive the kind of double duty unheard of in Hollywood. Fox's days were already dedicated to rehearsing and taping the hit sitcom Family Ties, but then the chance of a lifetime came his way. Soon, he committed his nights to a new time-travel adventure film being directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg, Back to the Future. Sitcom during the day, movie at night - day after day, for months.

Fox's nightly commute from a soundstage at Paramount to the back lot at Universal Studios, from one dream job to another, would become his own space-time continuum. It was in this time portal that Alex P. Keaton handed the baton to Marty McFly while Michael J. Fox tried to catch a few minutes of sleep. Alex's bravado, Marty's flair, and Fox's comedic virtuosity all swirled together to create something truly special.

In Future Boy, Fox tells the remarkable story of playing two landmark roles at the same time - a slice of entertainment history that's never been told. Using new interviews with the cast and crew of both projects, the result is a vividly drawn and eye-opening story of creative achievement by a beloved icon.

A necessity for an Back to the Future fan. I've been a life long fan of these films & I've seen countless documentaries about the making of the first film but hearing it from Michael J Fox himself, is an incredible experience.

As an 80's kid, Back to the Future was a massive part of my childhood and is a love that followed me into my adult life.
My love of time travel brought this perfect movie into my life and it's never left me.
When I heard about this audiobook releasing, I knew I had to purchase it....and boy did it not disappoint.

From the high production quality and feeling even more than what words on a page could make me feel, Michael J Fox delivers a fascinating insight and background to a movie that's always got a special place in my heart.

if you can't tell by now, I highly recommend this title.

Enjoy.

I'm sure that the printed version has lots of pictures that makes it worth it, but the experience of listening to Fox's voice telling us about his life and the excerpts of interviews and scenes from the movie makes the audiobook also worth it. I loved to learn a bit more about Fox's life at the time especially since I wasn't even born when Back to the Future was made; I've been raised by Marty McFly and Doc, Indiana Jones, and The Goonies so to learn a bit more about the bts shenanigans has been a great experience. I highly recommend it.

I loved it
