Now, the actor will be the star and subject of a new documentary titled STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie, which was announced a year ago and just released its first trailer today (via Apple TV), which can be watched below:

Incorporating archival footage and interviews with the actor himself, the trailer chronicles Fox's improbable rise to stardom in Hollywood during the 1980s. In his own words, Fox was "bigger than bubblegum." The documentary also follows Fox's diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease and as its title indicates, ponders the question of what it means to be still.

What To Expect From STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie

STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie hails from Academy Award-winner Davis Guggenheim, whose documentaries include An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting For Superman, and He Named Me Malala. Like Guggenheim's past work, STILL will provide an unwaveringly honest and intimate of the actor's extraordinary life while giving Fox the freedom to tell his story in his own words. The documentary will also cover the years following Fox's diagnosis which he previously kept private; he was diagnosed in 1991 but did not publicly disclose it until 1998. For the first time, STILL will dive into this never-before-seen part of his life.

The documentary has already received rave reviews, resulting in an excellent 98 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Based on the reviews, the film provides the poignant portrait of the larger-than-life actor that audiences expect it would, though the film appears to be surprising critics with just how hopeful and facetious Fox remains in the face of a devastating degenerative illness. The wait won't be long before audiences can watch STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie at home, as the documentary debuts May 12 on Apple TV+.
