Some pictures below of Zane as Brando.: Billy Zane transforms into Marlon Brando in first look at ‘Waltzing with Brando’ biopicwww.yahoo.com/entertainment/billy-zane-transforms-marlon-brando-184313749.html"Another biopic, another remarkable transformation. Billy Zane transformed into “The Godfather” star Marlon Brando for the new biopic, “Waltzing with Brando.” Zane, 58, posted images from the set — where he looks identical to Brando — on his Instagram Thursday. “#waltzingwithbrandothemovie #cannes the true story of Marlon as the “Godfather” of the environmental movement, spearheading sustainable, zero carbon architecture and design upon his private Island of Tetiaroa back in 1970!” he wrote in his caption. The film, directed by Bill Fishman and based on Bernard Judge’s memoir called “Waltzing with Brando: Planning a Paradise in Tahiti,” is up for sale at Cannes Film Festival. “Waltzing with Brando” is set in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the Academy Award-winning actor purchased the private island atoll Tetiaroa in the South Pacific, where he filmed 1962’s “Mutiny On The Bounty.” Brando fell in love with Tetiaroa and recruited Judge, an architect, to build a village, home and eco-hotel on the island. Tia Carrere, Jon Heder, Richard Dreyfuss, Alaina Huffman, Rob Corddry and Camille Razat round out the cast. In an interview with Deadline, Zane, who is also a producer on the film, said the Brando project is “a love letter to Tahiti, and him and his passion.” Zane also recognized how Brando was ahead of his time when it came to activism. “Back then no one would touch causes. He championed civil rights, he marched with Dr. Martin Luther King,” the “Dead Calm” actor said. “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.” “It’s like no good deed goes un-stoned,” Zane added about Brando not being thanked for his noble accomplishments." ![](https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/IKI3wA5Rvxzf82f.h_Z11g--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTk4ODtjZj13ZWJw/https://media.zenfs.com/en/ny_post_articles_869/5a15c79f2cdcf2e65215e3c2763aa61c) ![](https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/TTBNSjpmh0I.be3yCeSffw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTYyMTtjZj13ZWJw/https://media.zenfs.com/en/ny_post_articles_869/7187c070f8ad2597e0d9f5f9d1ae765b) ![](https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/tNfotj5kOvEqHSvtuY5HIw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw/https://media.zenfs.com/en/ny_post_articles_869/e36efb1f006b0d6d356d580c7e363636) ![](https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/D7uDbyEegnOYpYbJyxNK.Q--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTUwMTtjZj13ZWJw/https://media.zenfs.com/en/ny_post_articles_869/92be3014758c3bb48c50b2f7b1ef65d1) ![](https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/LpHceEaGQmCQj54GF1WFww--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTUzMDtjZj13ZWJw/https://media.zenfs.com/en/ny_post_articles_869/336a2469d24ac2166694bc3b74e0e705) ![](https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/gnBulhwDW03xvApFo36JqA--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTQ3NjtjZj13ZWJw/https://media.zenfs.com/en/ny_post_articles_869/1d9826fa79390e79462e8b82670856d0)

He was gorgeous in the Phantom thing.

“You better listen to your friend Billy Zane, because he’s a cool dude.”
Man I miss this guy, he should have been massive after Titanic. So many straight to DVD movies instead. This looks like it has the potential to pump up his career. Maybe he’ll be one of those guys that hits it big later in life.

I'm surprised by how much he looks like him. I got to work with Zane once and he really is a cool dude. The only celeb I've met where he was asking ME questions about myself.
I am wondering about the quality level of this project, though. Zane, Dreyfuss, Napoleon Dynamite, Cassandra from Wayne's World... not exactly a cast at their peak. But I'm here for a Zanaissance.

None of this is giving me confidence, but I hope Zane is good in it. That is the only reason I am interested.

I thought young Zane resembled a young Brando.
The trouble Zane had (beyond coming along in the 90s when movie opportunities shrank) is that he doesn't have a lot of screen charisma despite the looks. To take the Phantom as an example--he looked perfect in the part but he was overshadowed by Treat Williams and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Looks and charisma are not the same thing.
Peter Falk--lots of charisma, yet not a marquee idol.
Errol Flynn had both.

He reminds me of Arnold Vosloo. Almost had him confused with him.
Jeff Fahey was another 90s actor who just vanished (until Grindhouse).

Isn’t Arnold Vosloo the bad guy who gets buried alive in the mummy action movie? Never been able to know who was who, bad credits. I remember Jeff Fahey played a retarded character and that was probably the last time I saw him on screen.
