What Back To The Future tought us about script writing

Michael J Fox
Michael Andrew Fox, OC (born June 9, 1961), known as Michael J. Fox, is a Canadian-American actor, author, producer, and advocate. With a film and television career spanning from the 1970s, Fox's roles have included Marty McFly from the Back to the Future trilogy (1985–1990); Alex P. Keaton from NBC's Family Ties (1982–1989), for which he won three Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award; and Mike Flaherty in ABC's Spin City (1996–2001), for which he won an Emmy, three Golden Globes, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991 and disclosed his condition to the public in 1998. Fox semi-retired from acting in 2000 as the symptoms of his disease worsened. He has since become an advocate for research toward finding a cure; he created the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and on March 5, 2010, Sweden's Karolinska Institutet gave him a honoris causa doctorate for his work in advocating a cure for Parkinson's disease.

Since 2001, Fox has mainly worked as a voice-over actor in films such as Stuart Little and Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire. On the CBS TV show The Good Wife, he earned Emmy nominations for three consecutive years for his recurring role as crafty attorney Louis Canning. Fox has also taken recurring guest roles and cameo appearances in Boston Legal, Scrubs, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Rescue Me. He has released three books: Lucky Man: A Memoir (2002), Always Looking Up: The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist (2009), and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future: Twists and Turns and Lessons Learned (2010). He was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2010. This is him in back to the future.

In one part of the interview he says "The script was rejected over 40 times. You have to be crazy to want to be in the film business and you have to be able to take a lot of rejection because, as screenwriter William Goldman says, 'nobody knows anything.' We were told over and over again 'Ha, it's a Time Travel movie never makes any money.', 'Oh it's nice and sweet, nobody wants to see something nice and sweet.', 'Why don't you guys take this to Disney? This could be a Disney movie. 'And this was when Disney was a complete mess" 

Individual pitch

Today I did my individual pitch while my group where sat with me, I thought It went ok however I did struggle to explain it. It sounded a lot easier to explain in my head. Everyone else's music video ideas were really good and I would be happy doing any one of the videos.


The song I have chose was Oasis Wonderwall, these are the lyrics and my ideas.

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now

Back beat, the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how

Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now

And all the roads that lead you there are winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how

I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall

I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall

I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

that part of the song.

Today is gonna be the day that they’re gonna throw it back to you

So for the start of the video I was thinking about having a guy through a guitar at the main guy and he catches it on the neck of the guitar.

By now you should’ve somehow realized what you gotta do

At this point he starts playing the guitar and singing at the camera.

I don’t believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now

At this point there you will see a girl and then the girl looks at the guy singing and then we the girls point of view.

Back beat, the word was on the street that the fire in your heart is out I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt

The guy is playing the guitar and singing towards the camera.

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

Goes back to the girl watching the guy playing the guitar from her point of view.

And all the roads we have to walk are winding and all the lights that lead us there are blinding

Girl is in front of the guy walking down a back country road.

There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how

Girl stops walking and the guy walks up to her and sings ‘There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how’ they are stood looking at each other.

Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me and after all, you're my wonderwall

Guy looks at the girl and he says ‘you're my wonderwall’

Today was gonna be the day but they'll never throw it back to you by now you should've somehow realized what you're not to do

Guy gets ready to play a gig then the band take the guitar off him, he walks out of the building and see the girl standing there.

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now

The guy walks to the girl who is stood outside and sings ‘I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now’

And all the roads that lead you there are winding and all the lights that light the way are blinding there are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how

They both walk down the street holding hands (street is dark and the street lights are the only light)

I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall

They keep walking

I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall

They keep going until they can’t be seen

I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

Faded out to black back ground

In my video there are going to be three people, two men and one woman. One of the men is going to be in the video two or three times giving the guitar to the main guy and taking the guitar off him. The woman in the video is the main guys 'crush' and is featured through out the video. For the costumes it will be in the style of the TV show This Is England, they would be wearing brands like Fred Perry and Lyle and Scott. The main character would be wearing a tartan style shirt and the other buy will be wearing a polo shirt. The woman will be wearing jeans and a polo shirt. This is the style I'm going for.
