...fair, it is not as if resurrecting unfinished films is a new phenomenon—or one that always results in bad movies. Orson Welles considered the official versions of many of his films to be “unfinished,” and Krzysztof Kieslowski died while his third film cycle was in development. The first two films of the trilogy, “Heaven” and “Hell,” were given to other directors to finish, and while it is problematic to consider them part of Kieslowski’s oeuvre, they...
Maybe this is why Breitbart is in such a hurry. After dashing out of the studio, he races home via the sort of shortcuts only native Angelenos know. His wife Susie (daughter of Orson Bean, a mainstay of the old TV game show To Tell the Truth) is preparing supper for him and their four children. But the real reason for the rush is that O'Keefe is visiting their house tonight to screen his latest effort, an undercover video revealing purported shenanigans at the offices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Breitbart hopes to debut the footage...
Touch of Evil That's partly because Teddy feels estranged from the island's less ethereal inhabitants. DiCaprio makes Teddy sometimes cagey-witty, sometimes stupid (he keeps mispronouncing escape as excape).

...earlier stages of his career, Bogdanovich served as a film critic for “Esquire,” and also profiled and orchestrated tributes to some of Hollywood’s finest directors, including Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles, as a worker in the Film Department of the Museum of Modern Art. Making his directorial debut in 1968 with “Targets,” Bogdanovich quickly established himself as one of the industry’s brightest new talents. A string of tremendously successful films in the early 1970s, including “The Last Picture Show...
...Orson Welles different from the other projects you have worked on? -Julie Sephora, New York City It's sort of a coming-of-age story for my character, but it's also a week in the life of Orson Welles, this amazing American icon. There are a lot of tough people in Hollywood, but there's no one quite like Orson. He was a genius and should forever be remembered like that. I think one of the reasons this movie was so exciting to make was to reveal to everybody how amazing this...
