Hola Dannie aqui,
Today with a trailer from Netflix for "The Other Side of The Wind" Orson Welles' final film that has been completed after 40 years in the making! This is fantastic news for film lovers globally, Orson Welles is considered amongst many film historians, critics, and fans one of the best directors of all time, as well as being an unforgettable actor and thespian.
Netflix describes this film as-
"Surrounded by fans and skeptics, grizzled director J.J. "Jake" Hannaford (a revelatory John Huston) returns from years abroad in Europe to a changed Hollywood, where he attempts to make his comeback: a career summation that can only be the work of cinema's most adventurous filmmaker, Orson Welles."
Here is the trailer for Orson Welles' Final Film "The Other Side of The Wind" bask in all its glory and read on for more.
The cast for "The Other Side of The Wind" is mind-blowingly flabbergasting. The film stars John Huston ("Chinatown," "The African Queen," "Key Largo," and "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"), Robert Random ("Village of the Giants," "The Restless Ones," and televisions "Gunsmoke"), Peter Bogdanovich ("Paper Moon" and "The Last Picture Show"), Susan Strasberg ("The Trip," "Prime Suspect," and "Sweet Sixteen"), Oja Kodar ("The Deep," and Orson Welles' "Don Quixote"), Lilli Palmer ("The Holcroft Covenant," and "The Boys From Brazil"), Edmond O'Brien ("The Wild Bunch," "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," and got his start in 1939's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" as Gringoire), Mercedes McCambridge ("Giant," "The Exorcist," and "Johnny Guitar"), Cameron Mitchell ("Flight to Mars," "Death of a Salesman," and "How To Marry A Millionaire"), Paul Stewart ("Citizen Kane," "Twelve O'Clock High," and "Kiss Me Deadly"), Peter Jason ("They Live" and recently "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom"), Tonio Selwart (1956's "Helen of Troy"), and Geoffrey Land ("Death Journey").
News and rumors have flown across the world wide web for years in regards to "The Other Side of The Wind" it was said that principal photography had been completed and post-production editing was all that was needed. Rumors flew about different filmmakers trying to have the film finished, raising funds and attention for the project. Some of the interested parties mentioned in the past were Wes Anderson, Noah Baumbach, and Peter Bogdanovich (who acted in the film). It was rumored Showtime Network also supposedly made a move on the project as well back in 2002 only to run into issues with Welles' daughter. So after a toilsome 40 years waiting for a worthy editor with a green light the almighty Netflix acquired the rights back in March of 2017 and is now set to be released in select theaters and streaming on Netflix on November 2nd.
This news is absolutely music to my ears, I loved the trailer and am looking forward to catching it hopefully in a cinema! What do all you film buffs out there in Geeklandia think about this news? I am elated.
Stay Strong, Live Good, Love Movies!
