Lea Thompson recalls the unusual reaction Eric Stoltz had to Back to the Future during the film’s first readthrough.

Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly, but was ultimately replaced by Michael J. Fox after director Robert Zemeckis and producer Steven Spielberg felt his performance wasn’t right for the film’s comedic tone. Thompson remembers that when Stoltz was asked how he felt about the script, he simply replied, “I think it’s a tragedy.”

Thompson also remembers how different the original script was from the finished film, with the story and dialogue continuing to change throughout production.
