InStill: AMichael J. FoxMovie, the actor lets Davis Guggenheim inside his daily life with Parkinsons disease.
How does he move?
Powell said during a panel at Deadlines Sound & Screen: Television event.
I often treat action films like dance sequences.
I treated every time I saw Michael moving as a dance.
Fox is frank about how far his Parkinsons has progressed.
Guggenheim captures Fox falling down on camera, and slowing down in on-camerainterviews.
However, Foxs message remains hopeful, and that was important to both Guggenheim and Powell.
I think thats why Davis wanted me, Powell said.
He didnt want it to sound dour.
He didnt want it to sound like Parkinsons.
He wanted the real heart of Michael.
Thats mainly what we responded to.
Theres 39 minutes of music, Powell said.
It took me about five months to do.
You cant make a living if you work that slow.
