Murphys Law noun: The theory that, moments before an interview with Robert Zemeckis, ones audio recorder will malfunction.
A t nine months into the research phase for this book, I knew I had put off calling Robert Zemeckis as long as I could. I was nervous about speaking with the creative brain behind some of my favorite films like Forrest Gump, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and, of course, that epic time-travel trilogy. There were a million things I wanted to query him about, most of them having to do with the project I was working on. It wasnt so much that I was starstruck by the prospect of speaking with him, but when you have a chance to chat with a visionary whose work you respect and admire, it has a way of putting you on edge.
Or, at least, thats what I attribute my feelings to in hindsight.

A line was drawn in the sand: The day I spoke to the director would be the day an interview would be scheduled with the Doc.
Challenge accepted. I hung up the phone with Lloyds rep and retrieved the index card with Zemeckiss agents phone number written on it, a three-by-five piece of card stock that had been haunting me ever since Id scribbled on it four months earlier. Without jumping through too many hoops, I got a hold of Zemeckiss assistant, who promptly scheduled a half-hour interview for us, with only one request: We respectfully ask that you contain the time to the thirty minutes which we have allotted. No big deal, I thought, until a week later when it was six minutes before our scheduled interview and the software I use to record Skype calls on my computer stopped working.
It was 12:24 P.M . Pacific Standard Time. I was based on the East Coast, but had grown accustomed to working my day around what I reductively referred to as Los Angeles Time. Each second became more and more important. There was no way I was going to call Bob Z late. Bob GBob Gale, cowriter and coproducer of
