It was kind of surreal when the first photos of Billy Zane as Marlon Brando came out online, and now we have our first trailer for Waltzing with Brando which looks to tell the story of Brando when he tried to purchase an island and run a hotel his way.
Check this out:
Here’s the description of the film:
Movie star Marlon Brando (Billy Zane) recruits a Los Angeles architect (Jon Heder) to build the world’s first ecologically perfect retreat on a small, uninhabited island in Tahiti.
Though Brando is considered to be one of the greatest actors of his generation, admittedly there have been a lot of stories about him behind-the-scenes where he has the most peculiar behavior. Almost every movie he’s been in has some story of Brando doing something to freak out the crew—but despite all of that mess, he’s still considered a master of his craft and a definitive movie star.
Some may think this is a biopic, but it does look like it’s going to focus on a very specific part in Brando’s life which admittedly sounds pretty bonkers. We don’t know how much of the story is true, but Brando expecting to power a beautiful island with electric eels feels like something he definitely would have done, what with his ridiculous wealth and fame.
I have to say, it’s nice to see Jon Heder back onscreen. He’s kind of been on the low ever since Blades of Glory, but this could be a great comeback for him.
Waltzing with Brando is set to come out in theaters on Nov. 30.
