Michael J Fox documentary film announced by Apple TV+
The Back to the Future star will be the focus of the streamer's upcoming feature film.
Apple TV+ has commissioned an upcoming non-fiction film about Back to the Future star Michael J Fox from Oscar-winning director Davis Guggenheim.
The feature film, which is currently in production in New York, Los Angeles and Vancouver, will explore Fox's life and career, from his beginnings as "an undersized kid from a Canadian army base" to the "heights of stardom in 1980s Hollywood".
Currently untitled, the film is set to incorporate elements of documentary-making as well as archival and scripted moments to tell Fox's story in his own words.
"The account of Fox’s public life, full of nostalgic thrills and cinematic gloss, will unspool alongside his never-before-seen private journey, including the years that followed his diagnosis, aged 29, with Parkinson’s disease," Apple TV+ says.
