Actor Billy Zane has shared a photo of himself in the makeup chair preparing to play Marlon Brando playing Jor-El.
Waltzing with Brando” is an upcoming biopic, directed by Bill Fishman starring Billy Zane, which tells the story of Bernard Judge, a young Los Angeles architect, who found himself, quite unexpectedly, living on an unpopulated atoll in the South Pacific with his client, Marlon Brando.
The film’s based on the memoir Judge penned called “Waltzing with Brando: Planning a Paradise in Tahiti”.
Apparently there are sequences looking at Brando’s acting career, including films such as “The Godfather”, “Last Tango in Paris” and, of course, “Superman: The Movie”.
No release date for the film has been announced at this point in time.
Surprised no one else has brought this up. There are other photos out there from the production. They’ve done a fairly good job transforming Zane to make him look more like Brando.
I wonder if they’re gonna depict the green bagel/suitcase story in this movie.
"What made you think you could put your hands on my green bagel/suitcase........look at me you filth"
Zane is underrated. A shame things didn’t work out for him to be a bigger star. Just the way things turned out with some projects that didn’t work out as hoped.
Not an expert on Zane's overall output......but he gave a damn fine performance in Dead Calm in 1989 with Nicole Kidman and Sam O' Neill....directed by George Miller. At that point, in the late 80s, I was used to seeing him getting duffed around in Back To The Future 1......so was quite shocked by his dramatic chops in Dead Calm.
That make up for simulating Brando in STM looks very good in the photo....will be interesting to see actual footage once the film is out. Was unaware of this project so thanks for the heads up.
EnriqueH: It can be built on forgiving the mistakes of the past, and remembering the overall experience, which I think has been positive for most. The question is: Will individuals let go of their pride, make up and shake hands, or stay angry forever?

cypher85: Hey Board!! Damn it's been a long time. Just remembering the good old days. Unfortunately, I don't see this place ever picking up. And I'm not a facebook person. So even though I'm part of that group, it isn't the same. What a place this was though.

cypher85: lol, i didn't type darn! I still think about this board, and can't believe that a Superman film (Man of Steel) was the downfall of a board dedicated to celebrating superman.

Metallo: That should tell you how "not on the spirit of superman" it was.

verisimilitude: What the heck. As long as I'm here, I'll give a shout, as well. Watching Booshman's newest clip brought back so many good memories. Seems like a lifetime ago. Still think about going back to the editing board, now and again.
