We Don't Need Roads: The Making of the Back to the Future Trilogy by Caseen Gaines

4.0

It’s a good book. I have no idea why it took me over a month to read it since it’s an easy read with interesting anecdotes. I definitely didn’t know about the drama on Part II with Crispin Glover or the stunt that resulted in Cheryl Wheeler getting seriously injured. But it would also be a stretch to say that the making-of these movies was incredibly dramatic, and truth be told, that drama tends to arise from flops with disastrous productions rather than here where there were significant obstacles, but all three movies are good and continue to be well regarded.

I read this because I’m a diehard fan of the trilogy, so it was nice to learn some things I didn’t know about these movies.
