CHOCANTE, HILÁRIO E BRUTALMENTE HONESTO.

Tracks: A Journey Through Metroland tells the story of Metroland and the development of suburbia that grew alongside the Metropolitan Railway. Originally the brainchild of eminent Victorians, the Metropolitan grew to become the queen of underground lines, eventually expanding to a point some fifty miles outside London. Author Kevin J. Last describes how the concept of Metroland was an aspiration for several levels of society, promising a better lifestyle well away from the deprivations of wartime. The idea that the working man could live comfortably outside the smoke in individually designed houses would mean that he could also thrive at work, largely due to the regular service offered by the new railway. This was quite exceptional in that, while nominally an underground line, most of the Mets route was above ground and, in length, went far beyond other similar lines, far out into the Buckinghamshire countryside. Not marked on any map, Metroland is as much a concept of the mind as a real place.

La historia detrás de cámaras de una de las películas más famosas y queridas por el público, Regreso al futuro, de Michael J. Fox, que nos hace partícipe de la complejidad al compaginar grabaciones y del duro trabajo y todo el cariño con el que todo el equipo se hizo cargo de esta enorme produccion.Un libro de memorias conmovedor, sincero y divertido sobre como, en 1985, Michael J. Fox dio vida a un papel iconico e inolvidable, el de Marty McFly en Regreso al futuro, una increible e inolvidable historia de una pelicula y de los secretos de su rodaje, que solo Michael J. Fox puede contar.A principios de 1985, Michael J. Fox era una de las mayores estrellas de la television. Su mundo estaba a punto de dar la vuelta, pero solo si lograba sobrevivir a un tipo de pluriempleo inaudito en Hollywood. Los dias de Fox ya estaban dedicados a ensayar y grabar la exitosa comedia Enredos de familia, pero entonces se le presento la oportunidad de su vida. Pronto dedico sus noches a una nueva pelicula de aventuras y viajes en el tiempo dirigida por Robert Zemeckis y producida por Steven Spielberg: Regresoalfuturo. Comedia durante el dia, pelicula por la noche, dia tras dia, durante meses.Los desplazamientos nocturnos de Fox desde el estudio de grabacion de Paramount hasta la parte trasera de los estudios Universal, de un trabajo de ensueño a otro, se convertirian en su propio viaje continuo en el espacio-tiempo. Fue en este portal del tiempo donde Alex P. Keaton cedio el testigo a Marty McFly, mientras Michael J. Fox intentaba conciliar el sueño. La valentia de Alex, el talento de Marty y el virtuosismo comico de Fox se unieron para crear algo realmente especial.En Future Boy, Fox cuenta la extraordinaria historia de interpretar dos papeles historicos al mismo tiempo, una parte de la historia del entretenimiento que nunca se ha contado. A partir de nuevas entrevistas con el reparto y el equipo de ambos proyectos, el resultado es una historia vivida y reveladora de los logros creativos de un icono entrañable y de una pelicula, convertida en mito, que ha traspasado generaciones y que nos sigue fascinando.
