Ever wonder what would have happened if Robert Zemeckis had stuck with Eric Stoltz and never brought in Michael J. Fox to take on the role of Marty McFly? Considering “Back to the Future” is a supreme piece of cinema, perhaps not, but don’t worry because filmmaker David Guy Levy did that work for you.
Levy is here at San Diego Comic Con with a comic book called “Back to Back to the Future,” a piece that considers what might go down should the “Back to the Future” filmmakers go back in time to keep Eric Stoltz in the role of Marty McFly. It’s a fun idea and clearly “Back to the Future” rocks a very wide appeal, but Levy isn’t here to make a buck off the concept. The deal is, you can get the first three issues of “Back to Back to the Future” for free right here, and then, if you want to check out the next three, it’ll cost you $2, but the full sale goes straight to the Young Storytellers Foundation, an organization dedicated to fostering literacy through storytelling.
Need even more convincing to give “Back to Back to the Future” a go? Check out what Levy told ShockYa.com about the genesis of the project, some of the finer details of his narrative, and more in the video interview below. And for fans of Levy’s wonderfully twisted film, “Would You Rather,” we’ve got a little sequel talk in the mix, too.
