It’s kind of wonderful, mostly because I think people are starting to really understand who Michael J. Fox is as a human being, He was so open in the movie, so emotional, so unafraid, so candid and so real — and that’s a big risk for someone to take to put himself in a documentary, and the world embraced him. I’m just so happy. I’m happy mostly for him. – director Davis Guggenheim to Deadline: Hollywood..

I lost my dad to Parkinson’s so besides @realmikefox being a friend, role model, generational talent and Canadian, I cannot wait to see ‘Still’ on @AppleTVPlus. It’ll soon reside on the MJF anthology DVD shelf in my heart. Btw, The Frighteners is criminally underrated. pic.twitter.com/mMsBndjTAP
