!['Waltzing With Brando' Director Details His Next Potential Biopic About a President and a Famous Author [Exclusive]](https://i.headtopics.com/images/2025/1/9/collider/waltzing-with-brando-director-details-his-next-pot-waltzing-with-brando-director-details-his-next-pot-BAD80ECFF5991A69F41E25979BC26282.webp)
Billy Zane as Marlon Brando in 'Waltzing With Brando'
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.
In an interview with Collider's Aidan Kelley at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, Fishman was asked whether there were other figures he'd like to give the Waltzing With Brando treatment, to which he replied,"There are." Specifically, he shared his idea for a film about a U.S. president and the journalist/author who despised him as his potential next project if all goes right."I'm talking right now about doing a movie about Richard Nixon and Hunter S.
The relationship between Nixon and Thompson is well-documented and sounds well-suited for a season of FX's Feud. Thompson, known for pioneering gonzo journalism and penning the classic novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, had a burning hatred for the 37th President so deep that his friend and collaborator Ralph Steadman said he would've willingly chosen Hell over Heaven if it meant keeping tabs on Nixon.
When Can Viewers See 'Waltzing With Brando'? As Fishman said, though, everything has to be nailed down before that juicy project can go forward. Until then, Waltzing With Brando will continue making the rounds before it eventually comes to theaters. The long-gestating indie film premiered at the closing night of last year's Torino Film Festival, though it has yet to set a wider theatrical release date.
