Waltzing with Brando 2025

Waltzing with Brando is a 2025 biographical drama film directed and written by Bill Fishman, based on the memoir Waltzing with Brando: Planning a Paradise in Tahiti by architect Bernard Judge. The film stars Billy Zane as the legendary actor Marlon Brando and Jon Heder as Bernard Judge. It chronicles the unconventional relationship that developed between the two men, beginning in the late 1960s. The plot follows Judge, an idealistic Los Angeles architect, who is hired by a real estate developer to scout a location for a new resort in Tahiti. His journey leads him to the private island of Teti'aroa, which is owned by Marlon Brando. The film, which is told from Judge's perspective, documents how Brando, intent on escaping the pressures of Hollywood, convinces the architect to abandon the hotel project and instead collaborate with him on building the world's first truly sustainable, ecologically perfect retreat on the uninhabited island. The film explores the challenges and comedic hijinks that ensue as the two men attempt to realize Brando's ambitious vision, often clashing over the immense costs and impractical ideas, such as powering the island with electric eels. While focusing on the professional and personal journey of Bernard Judge and his strained relationship with his family, the film also highlights Brando's personal life and his growing dedication to environmental and civil rights activism. The cast also includes Richard Dreyfuss, Camille Razat, Alaina Huffman, Tia Carrere, and James Jagger. Waltzing with Brando had a limited theatrical release in the United States on September 19, 2025. Read More
