Jon Cryer shares original script details from Back to the Future

Before breaking out with the John Hughes-penned cult classic Pretty in Pink, Emmy winner Jon Cryer almost found his launch to stardom as Marty McFly in Robert Zemeckis’ iconic Back to the Future and in a new Twitter thread, the star has revealed original script details from his audition that didn’t make it to the screen!

And he certainly was in no jeopardy from me either (you’ll see)

But the #BackToTheFuture script that I read before my audition was VERY DIFFERENT than what ended up on screen.

The 55-year-old Two and a Half Men alum’s revelations come as the announcement of the new Back to the Future trilogy boxset from Universal Pictures will include the audition tapes of both Cryer and Ben Stiller (The Meyerowitz Stories) for Marty, who would go on to be played initially by Eric Stoltz (Her Smell), who would subsequently be replaced by Michael J. Fox (The Good Fight).

The Back to the Future: The Ultimate Trilogy collection is loaded with bonus material including a bonus disc that comes with over an hour of brand-new content such as rare audition footage from Hollywood stars Ben Stiller, Kyra Sedgwick, Jon Cryer, Billy Zane, Peter DeLuise and C. Thomas Howell, a tour of the film’s props and memorabilia hosted by co-writer/producer Bob Gale, a sneak peek at the new musical show, and a special episode of the popular YouTube Series “Could You Survive The Movies?” Join Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), and a time-traveling DeLorean for the adventure of a lifetime as they travel to the past, present and future, setting off a time-shattering chain reaction that disrupts the space-time continuum!
