The first trailer for Waltzing with Brando is here – and Billy Zane looks unrecognizable.
PerVariety, the biopic follows Brando (Zane) “as he filmed Mutiny on the Bounty and bought a tiny and uninhabitable island in Tahiti. His intent was to escape his hectic Hollywood lifestyle and show the world the path to sustainability. To achieve this goal he plucks Judge (Jon Heder), an obscure but idealistic Los Angeles architect, from his stable existence and convinces him that together they could build the world’s first truly sustainable ecological retreat.”
The beginning of the trailer, which can be viewed below, sees Zane completely transform into the iconic actor and recreate the opening scene from The Godfather.
Bill Fishman directs from a screenplay he adapted from the book Waltzing with Brando: Planning a Paradise in Tahiti by the late Bernard Judge. In the book, Judge recounts his time building a sustainable village on an unpopulated group of islands in the South Pacific for Brando.
The cast includes Camille Razat, Richard Dreyfuss, Alaina Huffman, Tia Carrere, and James Jagger.
