Marlon
Brando's Final Film Back
On Track
Marlon
Brando's
final film has resumed
shooting after it was
halted following his
death in July
2004.
Ridha
Behi's Brando and Brando
told the tale of a
Tunisian boy who
travelled to the US to
pursue the American
dream and meet his hero
Brando.
The
legendary actor spent
his final six months
working on the
project.
The
film is now called
Citizen Brando and will
be part fiction and part
documentary, based on
Behi's experience of
becoming friends with
the star.
As
well as starring in the
film, Marlon Brando had
been involved with the
development of the
project, including
working on script
revisions with Behi, the
director.
"What
I was highlighting in
the film, the Arab-USA
tensions, have even
greater resonance, two
years later," said
Behi.
The
fictional side of the
film will star
Christopher Walken.
Shooting has already
begun at the Cannes Film
Festival and will
continue in the UK,
Tunisia and the US over
the next few
weeks.
Behi,
whose other films
include Les Anges and
Soleil des Heynes, is
planning to submit
Citizen Brando for next
year's Cannes
festival.
