Marlon Brando biopic in development

December 17, 2017 by Gary Collinson

According to THR, Brian Oliver’s New Republic Pictures has optioned director/producer George Englund’s memoir The Way It’s Never Been Done Before as the source material for a biopic on screen legend Marlon Brando.

Brando and Englund first became friends in the 1950s, with Englund going on to run Brando’s production company, as well as directing the two-time Oscar winner in the 1963 film The Ugly American.

“George and Marlon’s friendship spanned five decades and covered all the ups and downs in the actor’s career and personal life,” said Oliver. “It makes for both an epic portrayal of the greatest actor ever to grace the silver screen and an intimate story of two men with an almost brotherly bond.”

Brando – whose credits include the likes of A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront, The Godfather and Last Tango in Paris – passed away in 2004, while Englund died earlier this year.
