Actor Michael J. Fox was the foundation of our cinematic upbringing. He was Marty McFly in Back To The Future and Scott in Teen Wolf. He was the personification of an entire generation, but his life was forever changed after a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease.
Oscar-winning director David Guggenheim has collaborated with Fox in a brand new film, simply titled Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie, which will allow Fox to tell his story in his own words.
Check out the first trailer for Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie below.
The film consists of archive footage, interviews and scripted elements, creating an intriguing hybrid format to tell Fox’s incredible story.
In the trailer, Guggenheim notes that “the sad sack story is that Michael J. Fox gets this debilitating disease and it crushes him.”
Fox ponders this and replies: “Yeah, that’s boring.”

Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at 29 as he was at the height of his career.
“Intimate and honest, and produced with unprecedented access to Fox and his family, the film chronicles Fox’s personal and professional triumphs and travails, and explores what happens when an incurable optimist confronts an incurable disease. With a mix of adventure and romance, comedy and drama, watching the film feels like… well, like a Michael J. Fox movie” the synopsis promises.
STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on May 12, 2023
