What does Billy Zane actually do? In recent years, the Titanic star has disappeared from the Hollywood spotlight, although he regularly appears in new film productions. However, no film fan can ignore his latest project. Zane plays one of the greatest actors of all time: Marlon Brando.
A few days ago, the biopic Waltzing with Brando caused a stir when the first picture of Zane in the Brando role was published. Now there is a trailer that gives us an even better look at the film. If we didn’t know, we would never have guessed that Zane was behind the layers of makeup.

Waltzing with Brando – Trailer (English) HD
Waltzing with Brando is set between 1969 and 1974. During this time, two formative works in Brando’s oeuvre were created: The Godfather and The Last Tango in Paris. However, the actor secretly wanted to distance himself from the film business and bought one uninhabited island in Tahitiwhich he wanted to transform into a paradise.
To make his dream of a sustainable retreat come true, he hired the idealistic and eccentric architect Bernard Judge (played in the film by Napoleon Dynamite star Jon Heder). The film, which was written and directed by Bill Fishman (Tapeheads), is based on Judge’s memoirs from this time.
The focus of the film is clearly on the Tahiti story. Nevertheless, Waltzing with Brando will also take us into Hollywood of the time, as the trailer shows. Fishman and his team have, among other things, the iconic scene from The Godfather recreatedin which we get to know Michael Corleone, played by Brando.
