Billy Zane Channels Marlon Brando in New Film ‘Waltzing With Brando’ (PHOTOS)
Billy Zane is channeling Marlon Brando for a new film and boy, does he look the part! Zane showed off some sneak peeks into the upcoming movie Waltzing with Brando, based on the nonfiction book of the same name by Bernard Judge. Co-written and directed by Bill Fishman, it is now up for acquisition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
The book and upcoming movie is the true story of an award-winning Los Angeles architect (Judge) who finds himself living with his client, Marlon Brando, and focuses on Brando’s fight for environmental sustainability, along with the construction of his home on the 12-island atoll of Tetiaroa, Tahiti.

Waltzing with Brando also stars Jon Heder as Judge, plus Tia Carrere, Richard Dreyfuss, Alaina Huffman, Rob Corddry and more. Zane, who looks just like Brando in the stills, shared that the late star “championed civil rights, he marched with Dr. Martin Luther King. He walked the walk for civil rights; he did it for Indigenous rights. What no one knows about is what he did for the environment as an activist and the foresight he had on what in fact would [become] a climate crisis.”

Zane added that the film is “a love letter to Tahiti, and him and his passion.” Five percent of the film’s proceeds will go towards those residing on Tetiaroa. Most of the movie was actually filmed there, giving it even more authenticity.
