He does a funny Jimmy Stewart impersonation.

Anyone remember Cradle Will Rock? by Knuckleduster	Mar 6th, 2008 03:51:07 AM
Angus Macfadyen did a pretty interesting Welles. I heard that Tim Robbins was gonna do it, but ended up being too busy directing.

You can count me right out of this one.
Don't forget Welle's immortal Gallo wine outtakes by Det. John Kimble	Mar 6th, 2008 04:38:27 AM
No remakes can do those justice.
Best lookalike for Joseph Cotten is... by Roy Complain	Mar 6th, 2008 05:46:32 AM
The bassist from the Stereophonics. Seriously, he's the absolute spit. He's not an actor mind you so it's hardly relevant, but you should have a look.

It wants Zac Effron to get out.
THE THIRD MAN is perfection by Redbox	Mar 6th, 2008 08:08:20 AM
I don't have much to add, except when I saw the headline for this article I got angry because I thought this was going to be about a remake of the greatest film of all time!! But it isn't, so I'm excited and on board. Watch out Hollywood, if you do remake THE THIRD MAN, I'm going all Jay & Silent Bob on yer ass!!
Can't help... by Randall Flagg	Mar 6th, 2008 08:39:32 AM
...but start singing Me & Orson Welles in my head, to the tune of Me & Mrs. Jones.... it's a little creepy, actually.
Jonathan Frakes As WELLES!!! by Prague23	Mar 6th, 2008 08:46:00 AM
You know him as William Riker from Star Trek: Next Generation. Perfect choice!!! No one better!
Orson Wells VS Pinky & The Brain by gotilk	Mar 6th, 2008 09:08:06 AM

RKO 281 Was Fantastic by bobinnova	Mar 6th, 2008 10:34:13 AM
Liev Schreiber and John Malkovich made the movie great. When I hear this title "Me and Orson" it sounds too much like the Michael Moore documentary "Roger and Me". Maybe this will be like "Melvin and Howard"?
Zac Efron.... by JayWells87	Mar 6th, 2008 02:08:51 PM
This is based on a book, and in the book Efron's character is SUPPOSED to be annoying and stupid. Perfect casting in my opinion.
Great Play About Welles by narcatoc	Mar 7th, 2008 02:36:14 PM
Absolutely better than all these made-for-TV Welles impersonations is an incredible play written by Austin Pendleton (The Muppet Movie, OZ) called "Orson's Shadow" about the tense relationship between Welles and Laurence Olivier. Welles had more talent, but contemporaries handed that distinction to Olivier, but Sir Laurence knew the truth.

I hear they're remaking The Third Man, I will find out who's making it and get in on the production just to trash it. Sometimes producers need a turkey slap from God!
