'Back to the Future' stars Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox reunite at New York Comic Con panel
Fox News
Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox had emotional reunion Saturday at New York Comic Con 37 years after first filming sci-fi hit film "Back to the Future."
Fox initially wasn't even supposed to be part of the movie, and joined the production only after Zemeckis had filmed with Eric Stoltz. The director wasn't sold on Stoltz and replaced him with Fox, who became known for his leading role as Marty McFly. Tracy Wright is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

"The announcement — at one o’ clock in the morning after we were shooting for six weeks — was that the actor playing Marty would no longer be playing Marty, and that tomorrow, we would start shooting with Michael," Lloyd, 83, said of the shocking change of actors, according to Syfy.com "I felt that I barely made it through the [first] six weeks, and now I was gonna have to do it again?!"
