The upcoming Marlon Brando biopic titled Waltzing with Brando has released its first official look as star Billy Zane as Brando, and fans cannot get over how much he looks like the legendary star.
The first look released by theTorino Film Festival, which you can see above, shows Zane as Brando’s The Godfather character Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 hit. The Titanic star is posed exactly how we see Brando in the unforgettable The Godfather opening scene where we first see Corleone and just how fearsome he can be. Torino Film Festival has shared more images including one of Zane as Brando as he looked in the 1972 erotic romance movie Last Tango in Paris. Check out the look below.
But, aside from the accuracy of the pose and picture, fans just cannot get over how much Zane looks like the late Brando. “You could’ve said this was a photo of Marlon Brando and I would’ve believed it,” saidone Twitter user, anotherechoed, “I honestly thought this was Brando.” However, other fans say that Zane has always resembled Brando, asone put, “He always had that Brando vibe,” andanother replied, “This might be the greatest casting of all time.”
The new film is directed and co-written by Bill Fishman who also serves as co-producer alongside Zane. The movie also stars Tia Carrere, Richard Dreyfuss, Jon Heder, Alaina Huffman, Rob Corddry, and more.
Waltzing with Brando is set to premiere at the Torino Film Festival sometime in November 22-30. A wider release date is yet to be announced. For more, see our list ofupcoming moviesandmovie release datesto add to your diary.
