Time-Traveling Through Memories: Michael J. Fox's Upcoming "Future Boy"
Fresh Autobiographical Works to Surface in Autumn - Upcoming memoirs set for release in the autumn season
Crash into the past - not with a time-machine, but with a book. Michael J. Foxy (63) emerges from the shadows with his upcoming literary gem, "Future Boy," set to release in October, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the cinematic classic "Back to the Future."
"This book has served as my own damn time-machine," the seasoned actor grins to People magazine about the memoir he co-authored with Nelle Fortenberry. The title squeaks with flair: "Future Boy: Back to the Future and My Journey Through the Space-Time Continuum." Set your calendars, the release date hits you like a flux capacitor: October 14.
The narrative lights up the most electrifying period of his illustrious career: 1985, the year he catapulted himself into the global spotlight as Marty McFly, thereby setting the world ablaze with the fire of his acting prowess. Before the sun had risen, he was embroiled in the wholesome laughter of Family Ties audiences during the day - and by nightfall, he was dodging alien-wielded ray guns in the epic Back to the Future. Fox's new book seizes you by the collar and drags you through the dusty streets of Hollywood, offering a glimpse into the madness of playing two iconic roles simultaneously. "Time isn't a train I'm taking, it's a pair of crazy rollercoaster tracks I'm stuck on," he smirks, echoing Einstein's famous words. "If even the Madman of Relativity could unravel the tangled mess that was my life in the first few months of 1985, then I'd be impressed."
Fox delves deep into life's biggest questions: "Who am I? I think I've cracked the code." The book will include exclusive chats with cast members, aiming to craft a piece of entertainment history yet untold according to the book's glimpse.
"This book has served as my own damn time-machine," Fox quips, "but unlike Marty's DeLorean, there's no shortage of room for you to join me on this ride."
A Fourth Round with the Pen
Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991, is no novice when it comes to stringing together heart-warming yarns. He's also the best-selling author of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future," "Always Looking Up, Lucky Man," and "No Time Like the Future."
In "No Time Like the Future," released in 2020, Fox reminisces about his film career and offers a unique perspective post his Parkinson's diagnosis at the tender age of 29.
On the new book, he muses: "What's got me all buzzed is that this latest book is less a memoir and more a thought-provoking journey - I've pondered questions I think we all ponder: Who am I? Where am I? Where am I heading? I might not be giving away too much, but trust me, I've got some answers hidden up my sleeve."
"I'm not going to tell you what I'm gonna do, but I can assure you that my upcoming book, 'Future Boy,' will offer more than just a memoir. It's a thought-provoking journey that delves into life's biggest questions, such as 'Who am I?' and 'Where am I heading?' Intriguingly, the answers are hidden up my sleeve. Fueled by my past experiences, this book has served as my own personal time-machine, taking me back to the electrifying days of 1985 when I played Marty McFly, moving seamlessly between the sets of Family Ties and Back to the Future. As I write, I'm reminded of a quote from the Madman of Relativity: 'Time isn’t a train I’m taking, it’s a pair of crazy rollercoaster tracks I’m stuck on.'"
