'Brando Unauthorized' To Begin Filming

News Image
Controversial Director Damian Chapa will soon begin filming his 'unauthorized' feature film about the life of Marlon Brando.
The film, Brando Unauthorized, is due to begin filming on July 5th 2010 headed by Amadeus Pictures LLC and Executive Produced by Judith Connolly.
The film will touch lightly on Brando's career but will dig deeper into his child hood and his relationship with his son Christian.
Director Chapa will also take on the role of the screen icon and his son will be portrayed by Ricco Chapa. James Bardo will play the role of the euro trash drug dealer that begins the demise of Brando's son.
The story will explore Brando's upbringing. Brando's mother was said to be an abusive alcoholic and his father was a promiscuous and disturbed man sometimes leaving his son emotionally distraught.
Brando's own life reflected a great deal of pain leaving many women behind with anger and hatred towards the movie star. However Brando is thought of as sometimes the best actor who has ever lived.
Chapa commented: "It's an intense story. We're going to carefully base the film on public domain records."
Chapa has always wantied to play the role of Brando after discovering he had a love for the American Indian. Chapa passed on a offer to play Roman Polanski again in Polanski Unauthorized 2 in order to play the role of Brando. "Polanski was a unique part for me, however Brando is so much more interesting," he concluded.
