Back to the Future has an amazing story. The fact that they had to remake the entire movie in what should have been post-production. Michael J. Fox replaced the original actor and the cast and crew got a second chance to shoot a majority of the film. After it was a hit, the studio green lit two sequels to be made back to back so fans could see both films in less than a year. Now there’s a documentary that delves into the trilogy that made us yearn to ride in a space age car with Back In Time. The movie is due out September 13. Here’s the press release from MVD Entertainment Group:
