Apparently, the credit goes to Michael Harte.<\/p>\n
It was the idea of the editor of \u201cStill: A Michael J. Fox Movie,\u201d says the documentary\u2019s director, Davis Guggenheim, to use scenes from the beloved actor\u2019s TV shows and movies to tell the story of Fox\u2019s increasingly complicated life.<\/p>\n
The choice helps make \u201cStill\u201d \u2014 debuting this week on Apple TV+ following its premiere in January at the Sundance Film Festival \u2014 a distinct viewing experience.<\/p>\n
Of course, were it not for the 61-year-old Fox \u2014 the one-time \u201cFamily Ties\u201d and \u201cBack to the Future\u201d star who, at 29, was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease \u2014 being so open about the battle with the affliction, so vulnerable as he reflects on his journey, \u201cStill\u201d wouldn\u2019t be nearly as impactful as it is.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill\u201d begins with Parkinson\u2019s, with the hungover morning in a Florida hotel room when Fox, in the middle of filming 1991\u2019s \u201cDoc Hollywood,\u201d notices his pinky finger twitching.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe trembling was a message,\u201d he says. \u201cFrom the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
