Not much is known about the Apple Studios produced documentary but Deadline’s Pete Hammond gave a bit of insight on Friday as he wrote: ‘With the spirit of the kind of 80’s movies that helped make Fox a very big star on both big and small screens, this hybrid uses docu techniques, most notably a talking head interview with the star himself weaved in with clever use of archival footage and movie clips, as well as scripted recreations with actors where needed to make it all complete’

‘The star here, as always, is Fox himself, battling the intense effects of the Parkinsons disease he has had since being diagnosed at only age 29, but successfully and enthusiastically telling his story, a single talking head shot, straight into the camera.’
He went on to write that the film explores Michael’s life growing up in Canada to leaving school at 17 to gamble on a career in Hollywood.
Michael has been candid about how his Parkinson’s disease has impacted his acting career and the type of projects he now takes.

Lines: ‘When I did the spinoff from The Good Wife, which is The Good Fight, I couldn’t remember the lines. I just had this blank, I couldn’t remember the lines’; Pictured on The Good Fight
While appearing on Mike Birbiglia’s ‘Working It Out‘ podcast back in June, the actor admitted that remembering lines has become harder since he was first diagnosed.
‘When I did the spinoff from The Good Wife, which is The Good Fight, I couldn’t remember the lines. I just had this blank, I couldn’t remember the lines,’ he stated.
The Canadian star revealed that he didn’t struggle with his lines when he was younger, as he reminisced on his role on Family Ties, an NBC sitcom that he starred on from 1982 to 1989.
‘I’d go, “I’m in. Mallory, get off the phone.” And I knew it, like in an instant, and it continued to be that way for me,’ the actor said.
With Sean: Fox said he didn’t struggle with lines when he was younger, remembering his ’70 pages of dialogue’ on the 1989 film Casualties of War, where he starred alongside Sean Penn
‘I have 70 pages of dialogue on a [Brian] De Palma movie, and knowing that a hugely expensive Steadicam shot depends on me knowing the lines — not a trickle of sweat on my brow,’ he added, referring to the 1989 film Casualties of War, where he starred alongside Sean Penn.
Fox admitted that he no longer take projects with a lot of lines: ‘I can’t remember five pages of dialogue. I can’t do it,’ he said. ‘So I go to the beach.’
The longtime movie star has previously shared his Parkinson’s struggles in a 2020 interview with People, discussing his short-term memory, tremors and rigidity.

‘My short-term memory is shot,’ he stated, adding, ‘I always had a real proficiency for lines and memorization. And I had some extreme situations where the last couple of jobs I did were actually really word-heavy parts. I struggled during both of them.’
The actor was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s, a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, in 1991. He went public with his diagnosis in 1998, and continued his acting career.
He has starred in a multitude of projects since, including The Good Wife, Designated Survivor, The Good Fight, and See You Yesterday.

‘As I came through that darkness, I also had an insight about my father-in-law, who had passed away and always espoused gratitude and acceptance and confidence. And I started to notice things I was grateful for and the way other people would respond to difficulty with gratitude,’ he added.
