THE CASTING MATRIX
in billing order
Original castNew cast
01 · Marty McFlyMichael J. FoxThe original
Our Marty McFlyTom HollandThis is almost too easyWHY IT WORKSI once read that Tom Holland prepared for his role as Peter Parker by watching Alex P. Keaton in old Family Ties episodes. No, that's a total lie. But it SOUNDS plausible doesn't it?
02 · Emmett BrownChristopher LloydThe original
Our Emmett BrownJim CarreyThe Carrey Renaissance ContinuesWHY IT WORKSAfter what looked like a decade or so of complete irrelevance we are smack dab in a Jim Carrey second wind and I'm here for him as Doc Brown.
03 · George McFlyCrispin GloverThe original
Our George McFlyPaul DanoIf anyone can match Crispin's brand it's Paul Dano.WHY IT WORKSMy only worry is that maybe Paul is too old for the role since he will need to look young enough to play both high schooler and middle aged.
04 · Lorraine BainesLea ThompsonThe original
Our Lorraine BainesSadie SinkYou thought I was gonna say Zendaya didn't you!WHY IT WORKSNope. I'll pick Tom Holland's other Brand New Day Co-star as Lorraine.
THE FINAL WORD
Oh boy I don't feel like writing, just TESTING. Punch it!
