Zemeckis explained of the hard decision to axe him: "He's a magnificent actor, but his comedy sensibilities were very different from what I had written with Bob Gale.
"And he and I were just never able to make that work."
Director Zemeckis claimed Stoltz would insist on being called his character's name, Marty, rather than his own."
Zemeckis claimed: "We almost always called him Marty. We thought it was silly, but we figured if it helped him do his job, it was harmless.

Sydney Sweeney looks incredible as she makes FOUR outfit changes in one day to promote new movie Echo Valley
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SYDNEY Sweeney looked incredible as she made no less than four outfit changes in one day to promote her new movie, Echo Valley, in New York City. Actress Sydney, 27, turned heads in a bold red gown, with a midsection that highlighted her svelte waist and a statement skirt accessorised with a giant red bow. 10 Sydney Sweeney made four outfit changes in one day to promote her new movie, Echo Valley, in New York City Credit: Getty 10 The actress put on a display in a black fitted waistcoat and a white miniskirt Credit: Getty 10 Sydney was also spotted wearing a plaid brown jumpsuit Credit: Getty 10 For her arrival at Good Morning America, the starlet put on a leggy display in a brown pinstriped blazer dress Credit: Getty The Euphoria star wore her blonde locks in tumbling waves and accentuated her natural beauty with a full face of make-up. Earlier in the day, Sydney put on an equally-chic display in a black fitted waistcoat and a white miniskirt, elevating her height with leather boots. She toted her essentials around in a black leather handbag and shielded her eyes with wayfarer sunglasses. If that wasn't enough, Sydney was also spotted wearing a plaid brown jumpsuit and a giant matching tie on the same very steps of her hotel. read more on Sydney Sweeney DIPPY DEAL Sydney Sweeney cleans up after turning her USED bathwater into bars of soap This time, she carried a stone handbag, which coordinated with her heels. And, for her arrival at Good Morning America, the starlet put on a leggy display in a brown pinstriped blazer dress. Sydney appeared to confirm her breakup with long-term partner Jonathan Davino at the film's premiere. Speaking to The Times at the AMC Lincoln Square event, the Washington-native was asked if she was still planning her wedding to Jonathan. "No,' she replied. When pressed on whether she was now single, she answered simply: 'Yes.' The actress had been seen in recent months without her engagement ring, fuelling rumours that the couple - who began dating in 2018 and became engaged in 2022 - had quietly parted ways. Sydney Sweeney makes low-key exit in same SUV as White Lotus star Patrick Schwarzenegger after beach club opening party At Wednesday's premiere, Sydney was joined by co-star Julianne Moore, who plays her on-screen mother in the new thriller. The film follows Julianne's character, a horse trainer living on a Pennsylvania farm, whose life is upended when her daughter, played by Sydney, arrives covered in someone else's blood. It comes as Sydney films the third - and potentially last - series of Euphoria. The explicit teen drama, which follows recovering drug addict Rue (Zendaya) as she navigates school life and relationships while narrating the lives of her school mates, has become known for its dark storytelling. Sydney shot to fame in the series as Cassie, a popular girl with painfully low self-esteem who starts an abusive relationship with her best friend's ex, the violent and uncaring Nate (played by Jacob Elordi). Despite the success of the series, by the time season three is released there will have been a four-year wait for new episodes, thanks to the massive success of its cast in other projects, the death of star Angus Cloud, and the 2023 writers and actors' strikes. As a result, writer Sam Levinson has placed a time jump, launching the troubled teenage group into adulthood. Sydney has since sparked rumours that, despite their physically and mentally abusive relationship, her character Cassie is set to marry Nate, with the actress being spotted in a wedding gown on set. Echo Valley is scheduled for a U.S. theatrical release on Friday 6, with a rollout on Apple TV+ next week. 10 At the film's premiere, she turned heads in a bold red gown Credit: The Mega Agency 10 She posed for snaps with her co-star, Julianne Moore Credit: Splash 10 She carried a stone handbag, which coordinated with her heels for one look Credit: Getty 10 The Euphoria star has certainly been a busy girl Credit: Getty 10 Sydney elevated her height with leather boots Credit: Getty
