In Waltzing with Brando, Billy Zane stars as Marlon Brando during the 1970s, focusing on Brando’s attempt to turn a remote Tahitian island into a self-sustaining retreat.
The film's trailer dropped recently and had people talking about how well Zane was transformed into Brando for the role.
The trailer shows Zane recreating iconic scenes from Brando’s Hollywood career, including moments from The Godfather, and contrasts this with Brando’s quieter island life.
The comedic film, based on architect Bernard Judge’s memoir, reveals the challenges they faced in transforming the island, including efforts to make it environmentally sustainable.

People were very impressed by Zane’s transformation.
It just that he looks like both himself and Marlon Brando at the same time.
It' unnerving, really.
Longtime Zane fans were lamenting how he hasn’t had the same type of career as other cast members of Titanic.
However, Zane’s fans were optimistic about this role.
Directed by Bill Fishman, Waltzing with Brando will premiere at the Torino Film Festival on Saturday, November 30, and will make the circuit at other film festivals. A portion of the film's proceeds will go to Tahiti residents.
