It\u2019s hard to believe that\u00a0<em>Back to the Future\u00a0<\/em>will be celebrating its 35th anniversary on July 3. That means it\u2019s been 35 years since Marty McFly hopped in Doc Brown\u2019s DeLorean and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ed back in time to 1955, where he met his parents and disrupted the space-time continuum.<\/p>\n<p><em>Back to the Future\u00a0<\/em>was an instant hit with both fans and critics, receiving three Oscar nominations and propelling Michael J. Fox to superstardom. The success of the first film spawned two sequels, which premiered in 1989 and 1990, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that another actor played Marty McFly before Fox? What actor was the first choice to play Doc Brown? Check out these fun five fun facts you may not have known.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eric_Stolz_was_originally_cast_in_the_role_of_Marty_McFly\"><\/span>Eric Stolz was originally cast in the role of Marty McFly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to imagine anyone other than Michael J. Fox playing the charming and funny Marty McFly. However, that was the case when\u00a0<em>Back to the Future\u00a0<\/em>started filming. Although Fox was the first choice to play the character, he was committed to his role on the hit sitcom,\u00a0<em>Family Ties<\/em>, and could not get adjust his schedule. Director Robert\u00a0Zemeckis instead cast Eric Stolz to play the lead role.<\/p>\n<p>After five weeks of filming, Zemeckis realized that Stolz was miscast due to his lack of comedic presence with the role. When Fox\u2019s schedule opened up, Zemeckis fired Stolz, hired Fox, and the rest was history.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"John_Lithgow_was_the_first_choice_to_play_Doc_Brown\"><\/span>John Lithgow was the first choice to play Doc Brown<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just like with Michael J. Fox and Marty McFly, the notion of someone other than Christopher Lloyd playing Doc Brown is an unfathomable idea. Once again, there was another actor up for the part. John Lithgow, who currently stars in HBO\u2019s\u00a0<em>Perry Mason<\/em>, was the studio\u2019s first choice to play the mad scientist. When Lithgow was unavailable, Lloyd was cast as Doc.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_304633\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Back to the future anniversary\" height=\"1202\"  src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/fetch\/c_fill,g_auto,f_auto,h_1202,w_1600\/https:\/\/hiddenremote.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/getty-images\/2018\/08\/105621237.jpeg\"  width=\"1600\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p>LOS ANGELES, CA \u2013 OCTOBER 16: Actors Christopher Lloyd (L) and Michael J.

Melora Hardin, who is best known for her role as Jan on\u00a0<em>The Office<\/em>, was cast as Jennifer Parker, Marty\u2019s girlfriend. Once Stolz was replaced with Fox, Hardin was let go as well because she was too tall for Fox. Hardin never shot any scenes for the film. Claudia Wells stepped in and replaced Hardin.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Back_to_the_Future_became_the_highest-grossing_film_of_1985\"><\/span>Back to the Future<em>\u00a0became the highest-grossing film of 1985<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Superheroes, sequels, and well-known IP are the films that typically dominate the box office in today\u2019s society. In fact, the highest-grossing film in every year since 2015 has belonged to Marvel or\u00a0<em>Star Wars<\/em>. It\u2019s so rare to see original ideas top the box office in 2020. That wasn\u2019t the case in 1985 as\u00a0<em>Back to the Future\u00a0<\/em>became the highest-grossing film of the year.\u00a0After its release,\u00a0<em>Back to the Future\u00a0<\/em>was the top film at the box office for 11 out of 12 weeks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Huey_Lewis_makes_a_cameo_as_a_judge_for_Battle_of_the_Bands\"><\/span>Huey Lewis makes a cameo as a judge for Battle of the<br \/><\/br>Bands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most iconic song from the blockbuster is \u201cThe Power of Love\u201d by Huey Lewis and the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>. The smash-hit peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and received an Oscar nomination for Best Orginal Song. In the film, Huey Lewis makes a cameo as one of the judges for the Battle of the Bands.
