I was leafing through some back-issues of People magazine, discarded from the local small-town library, and I came across a reminder that Eric Stoltz was originally cast in the role of "Marty" for "Back To The Future."
While he was acknowledged to be doing a fine job, he was playing the role basically straight. (And many who knew him claimed that Stoltz couldn't be funny to save his life.)
The producers etc had a feeling the movie needed to be played more as a comedy, and even though filming was almost if not entirely completed, they took the chance and replaced Stoltz with Michael J Fox and pretty much re-filmed the movie.
And it sure paid off! Especially with the sequels etc.
But can you imagine BTTF coming out, and going to see it, and it's NOT FUNNY???

Well, I can imagine it not being as funny as with Michael J. Fox, but it would still be a bit funny.
It's too bad that Bob Gale doesn't want to release the 6 weeks of footage they filmed with Stoltz. The reason he gives:

I think you underestimate the possibility that with a non-funny actor, and considering how everything else would be playing off that - Doc Brown's over-acting would have changed too, most likely - the whole thing becomes flat. I mean, even "You made a time machine out of a Delorean" can be made flat and unfunny if someone else says it that way.

Well, without any footage - except for the couple of seconds released - I can't say how funny it would be.
Michael J. Fox was perfect for this role and when there is a reboot or sequel, I doubt that an actor or actress can be found to be as funny.

Hollyweird people need to learn to leave things alone.
