Michael J. Fox is going back to his past and rewriting his future.
The film, which incorporates documentary, archival and scripted elements, recounts Michael J. Fox’s extraordinary story in his own words – the improbable tale of an undersized kid from a Canadian army base who rose to the heights of stardom in 1980s Hollywood. 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, at 29, with Parkinson’s disease.
Intimate and honest, and produced with unprecedented access to Fox and his family, the film will chronicle Fox’s personal and professional triumphs and travails, and will explore what happens when an incurable optimist confronts an incurable disease. Directed by Academy Award winner Davis Guggenheim, ‘Still’ mixes adventure and romance, comedy and drama, watching the film feels like… well, like a Michael J. Fox movie.
“Guggenheim makes it clear from the very beginning of this clear-eyed, honest, and cleverly edited Apple TV+ film that he understands the through-lines in Fox’s life.” – Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture
