In the pipeline for 2019, Waltzing With Brando, a biopic centered on actor Marlon Brando, will finally see the light of day! Filming ended some time ago and the first photos of Billy Zane in the role of the actor were posted on social networks.
A stunning resemblance!
Aged 58, the man we loved to hate in the role of Cal in Titanic appears transformed! The resemblance to the famous interpreter of The Godfather is extremely striking, arousing the amazement of many Internet users around the world.
Directed by Bill Fishman, Waltzing With Brando will tell the true story of the meeting between an architect and Marlon Brando. From 1969 to 1974, the two men rubbed shoulders on a tiny island in the Tahiti archipelago. Their goal ? Build a little habitable paradise removed from the world.
For the moment, no release date has been announced. That didn’t stop internet users from calling for an Oscar for Billy Zane “immediately”. On the social network X, we can read many comments from stunned people.
“I have never seen such a perfect cast in my entire life”, The Cupitals gets carried away. Other comments mention “an astonishing resemblance” Or “a resurrection for Billy Zane’s career that could earn him an Oscar”.

The resurrection of Billy Zane?
Will the actor follow the same trajectory as Brendan Fraser, who won the Best Actor statuette in 2023 for The Whale after a long journey through the desert. Star of the 90s, he gained popularity thanks to his role as the antagonist Caledon Hockley, rich heir and fiancé of Rose (Kate Winslet) in James Cameron’s Titanic.
Since then, the artist has not really been talked about, increasing the number of anecdotal projects. Waltzing With Brando may well change the situation. In the meantime, Matt Dillon will also lend his features to Marlon Brando in Maria, a biopic about the actress Maria Schneider, in theaters on June 19.
