Exclusive: Waltzing with Brando, the feature starring Billy Zane as Marlon Brando, is set for North American release via Iconic Releasing.

The film is scheduled for release in the U.S. and Canada on Friday, September 19, 2025. Vmi Worldwide is handling international sales at the Cannes market.

Directed and written by Bill Fishman (Tapeheads), Waltzing with Brando is based on the published memoir by Los Angeles architect Bernard Judge, who was hired by Brando in the late 1960s to design an ecologically self-sustaining retreat on a remote and uninhabitable atoll in Tahiti. What begins as an architectural experiment becomes an eccentric and emotional journey into isolation, celebrity, and the limits of utopian idealism.

You can check out the trailer below, in which Zane bears a striking resemblance to screen icon Brando.

Viewers are in for a delightful, comedic, and downright strange ride with Bill Fishman's Waltzing With Brando. The long-gestating indie flick stars Billy Zane as legendary Oscar winner Marlon Brando at the height of his powers around the release of The Godfather and Last Tango in Paris. Rather than focus on his career, however, it pulls from architect Bernard Judge's memoir of the same name and follows the actor's efforts alongside Judge to plan out the perfect paradise on a small, uninhabited island in Tahiti. The film offers another eccentric side of Brando that few people get to see as it tracks his and Judge's evolving relationship and understanding of how to build an ecological marvel that keeps the natural beauty of the island alive. Fishman assures, too, that everything down to its wildest scenes are accurate depictions of real anecdotes.

There's a process by which every actor is cast in a film or television series, yet some stories are wilder than others. For Billy Zane, the process of being cast as an uncanny Marlon Brando lookalike in Bill Fishman's Waltzing With Brando felt like the stars aligning after years in the industry. Known for his past roles in Titanic and The Phantom, he portrays a very different side of the legendary The Godfather Oscar winner in the biopic through the lighthearted story about Brando's efforts to create the perfect Tahitian island escape. In an interview with Collider's Aidan Kelley at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, he opened up about how the history between him and the director, his love for Brando's Tahiti era, and pure happenstance came together to land him in what he described as a "dream role."...

Bill Fishman may be staying in the realm of biopics for his next project after spending time in the world of Marlon Brando. His latest, Waltzing With Brando, adapts Bernard Judge's memoir of the same name and lightheartedly follows Billy Zane as an uncanny lookalike of the Godfather star through some of his greatest roles while he plans a paradise getaway in Tahiti. Rather than unpack the on-screen side of the actor that everyone knows, the film instead shines a light on Brando's other personality traits through his relationship with Judge, the architect roped into his grand island getaway plan. It's still making the rounds at film festivals, but the director confirmed he already has two more subjects he wants to track the relationship between.

Billy Zane has found his next motion picture. The actor, who recently portrayed acting legend Marlon Brando, has signed on for Esx Entertainment's Day of Reckoning.

According to Deadline, Zane is set to star in the upcoming Western with The Vampire Diaries alum Zach Roerig and Killers of the Flower Moon actor Cara Jade Myers. TackleBox Films' Shaun Silva is directing Day of Reckoning, which follows "put-upon lawman John Dorsey (Roerig), who on the verge of losing his wife and his job as sheriff, posses up with a bullish U.S. Marshall Butch Hayden (Zane) to hold outlaw Emily Rouse (Myers) hostage. A battle of wills ensues as Emily turns the posse on themselves, but as her marauding husband and his gang approach, Emily and John realize they will need each other to survive." Day of Reckoning, the twenty-fifth movie from Ali Afshar's Esx Entertainment, will be produced by Afshar,...

Exclusive: Four-time Primetime Emmy winner Rob Corddry has inked with Buchwald and Artists First for representation.

On the feature side, he is best known for starring in both installments of the cult classic franchise, Hot Tub Time Machine.

Actors transforming into famous figures for biopics isn’t exactly a new phenomenon. In recent years, we’ve seen Marisa Abela’s Amy Winehouse in Back To Black, Kingsley Ben-Adir’s Bob Marley in One Love, Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein in Maestro, and Sebastian Stan’s Donald J. Trump in The Apprentice. But just when the market for such movies may have been running the risk of getting overcrowded, along comes Waltzing With Brando to make us an offer we can’t refuse. That offer? Titanic actor Billy Zane going absolutely all-in to play Marlon Brando in a comedy about The Godfather legend’s efforts to create a sustainable pocket of paradise on a tiny Tahitian island. If it sounds barmy, then that's nothing compared to how it looks — just check out the extraordinary trailer for Bill Fishman’s film below:

The first trailer for Waltzing With Brando, the new biopic about the iconic Godfather actor has dropped and we are, frankly, blown away by Billy Zane's take on Marlon Brando.

Yes, that’s Billy Zane beneath those prosthetics.

The “Titanic” alum is unrecognizable as late star Marlon Brando in the first trailer for biopic “Waltzing for Brando.” The feature, written and directed by Bill Fishman, is based on a memoir by Bernard Judge.

The film takes place between 1969 and 1974, with Brando readying to shoot “The Godfather” and “Last Tango in Paris.” During that time, the actor purchased an uninhabitable island in Tahiti and recruited Los Angeles architect Judge, portrayed by Jon Heder, to build the world’s first ecologically friendly retreat.

Richard Dreyfuss, “Emily in Paris” star Camille Razat, Alaina Huffman, Tia Carrere, and James Jagger co-star in the film, which is now seeking a buyer.

The film will close the Torino Film Festival and play the Tahoe Film Festival. Prior to its world premiere, “Waltzing for Brando” was picked up by Vmi Worldwide for foreign sales.

Marlon Brando transformed into all different kinds of people on the big screen. He was a dockworker in On the Waterfront, Shakespeare’s Mark Antony in Julius Caesar, and a temperamental and abusive drunk in A Streetcar Named Desire. But it was while he was preparing to become the mafia boss Vito Corleone in The Godfather that he decided to try a new role based in the real world: the founder of an ecological island resort in Tahiti. Playing pretend for so long gave him an edge of boundless confidence...

We’ve already had our fair share of biopics this year. Bob Dylan, Donald Trump, Amy Winehouse, Bob Marley, and the list goes on. No wonder some people were skeptical about the response Bill Fishman’s next directorial venture would generate, with some fearing that the fans had had enough. What they had forgotten was that it was Marlon Brando’s story.

Starring Billy Zane in the titular role, the first trailer of the biopic has just been released. And fans have already indicated that they are all in for seeing the story unfold before their eyes.

Fans of Marlon Brando are in for a treat as the first trailer for Waltzing with Brando has just been released, showcasing Billy Zanes astonishing and uncanny transformation into the Hollywood icon. Directed by Bill Fishman, the film dives into a lesser-known chapter of Brandos life: his ambitious attempt to build an eco-friendly paradise on the Tahitian island of Tetiaroa. The film is based on architect Bernard Judges memoir, Waltzing with Brando: Planning a Paradise in Tahiti, and the movie takes viewers into Brando's vision of sustainability during the early '70s, long before environmentalism became cool.

The first trailer for Waltzing with Brando, a new film tracking Marlon Brando’s early ’70s plan to create a vacation resort in Tahiti, has been revealed.

Waltzing with Brando stars Billy Zane as Brando and Jon Heder as Bernard Judge, the architect and environmental planner tasked with building the resort. It takes place mainly from 1969 to 1974, during which Brando starred in legendary films like The Godfather and The Last Tango in Paris.

Brando filmed Mutiny on the Bounty in Tahiti in the early 1960s and fell in love with the region, leading him to purchase a small island there. He was deeply committed to sustainability and aimed to infuse this ethos into his new island retreat. The trailer shows Brando bringing the task to Judge, who commends Brando’s ambitions but worries about its practicality. Against turbulent weather, funding issues, and even a lack of running water, Judge and...

Billy Zane has displayed an uncanny resemblance to Marlon Brando, going all the way back to Dead Calm, where he looked like him in his On the Waterfront days. Zane is now able to capitalize on doppleganging the star of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now in Waltzing with Brando. Zane was first cast as Marlon Brando all the way back in 2019 – and things have been pretty much silent for the bulk of the five years that followed. The movie hit the Cannes market and now, Vmi Worldwide has released the first trailer.

Billy Zane’s Marlon Brando is from a pivotal era in the legendary actor’s career, with Waltzing with Brando taking place in the late ‘60s into the early ‘70s, when his work shifted dramatically and he reinvented himself. Appropriately, Zane has entirely reinvented his look to portray Brando. Photos made available courtesy of Deadline fresh out of...

The first trailer has been revealed showing Billy Zane as Marlon Brando at the peak of his powers in upcoming biopic “Waltzing With Brando.”

The feature, which also stars Jon Heder, has been picked up by Vmi Worldwide for foreign sales.

Written and directed by Bill Fishman, the film is based on a memoir by Bernard Judge which takes place between 1969 and 1974 while Brando was preparing to film “The Godfather” and “Last Tango in Paris.” Alongside Zane and Heder, additional castmembers include the Oscar winner Richard Dreyfuss, as well as Camille Razat (“Emily in Paris”), Alaina Huffman, Tia Carrera (“Waynes World”) and Mick Jagger’s son James Jagger.

“Waltzing With Brando” follows Brando (Zane) — then the most famous actor in the world — 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.

Recently on social media fans were stunned by the resemblance of Billy Zane to Marlon Brando in a still from the new film Waltzing With Brando, which is slated to premiere in 2025. Zane, made up to look like the legendary star in his Godfather role, looks in the photo like...

Marlon Brando is an icon of cinema. Whether you like him or not, he is undoubtedly one of the greatest and most talented actors we’ve ever seen. He had the pathos; he had the ability to take on the most complex of roles, and that earned him the status of a proper icon.

Well, that and his amazing roles, which include films such as The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, On the Waterfront, Last Tango in Paris, and many more.

But Brando’s private life was as dynamic as his career. The actor was known as a problematic person with a difficult personality, which made it hard to work with him on more than one occasion. All of this got even more difficult as Brando got older, and by the time he reached old age, more people wanted to avoid him than work with him.

And while Brando’s life deserves a whole series,...

Rising star Mike Beckingham will star in “Waltzing With Brando” alongside Billy Zane, who plays a “Godfather”-era Marlon Brando in the upcoming movie.

Beckingham, younger brother of actor, writer and producer Simon Pegg, will play Bernard Judge in the comedic feature, which is set in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Judge was an idealistic L.A. architect selected by Brando and tasked with building the world’s first ecologically perfect retreat on a tiny Tahitian island that had been thought uninhabitable.

The picture is based upon Judge’s memoir, which recounts his relationship with Brando and his work with the enigmatic star on the designs for the would-be island getaway.

British actor Beckingham’s credits include horror pic “Redwood” and supernatural movie “Black Site.” In 2020 he will be seen in “The Host,” with Derek Jacobi and Dutch actor Maryam Hassouni, and British sci-fi film “G-Loc” alongside Stephen Moyer...

Fallout Entertainment has acquired the rights to remake the 1975 blaxploitation action comedy Dolemite.

Company principal Bill Fishman is slated to direct from a screenplay being written by Jeff Hause and David Hines. The film will be produced by Warren Zide.

Dolemite -- inspired by a character created by comedian-writer-producer Rudy Ray Moore during the 1970s -- is an ex-con who, in attempting to regain control of his nightclub, is joined by a squad of "kung-fu fighting girls" and other allies as he goes up against all who stand in his way. Moore will executive produce and might have a role in the remake.
