From Ed Wood, Jr. The climactic and inspirational meeting between arguably the world's greatest filmmaker and the world's worst filmmaker. Staged at Musso & Frank's Grill. '
Hard to believe that's the same guy as Pvt Pyle, the Kingpin, and Thor. Was he doing the dialogue too or did they dub over a sound alike. It's spot on.
+JanuarysGinger He also uses this same basic voice several different times in Futurama. For the head of Orsen Welles, as well as the narrator of the tales of interest.
I love the fact that Orson Welles doesn´t say anything about Wood wearing women´s clothes but instead connects with him as far as the hardships of getting a movie done.
Because he might think that Ed's wearing a costume and just taking a break from shooting films, which is a usual deal when you're near the filming studio.
This never happened in real life. People criticize the scene for that, but I don't. It's poetic, the worlds finest film maker inspired the worlds worst one
Makes me wonder if the two would have gotten along well, if they had met. I mean, difference in talent aside, they had common ground as Filmmakers. I'm trying to imagine these two having a long, friendly conversation. :D
I remember a story about a producer who would applaud at the end of every movie, because he knew how hard it was to get ANY film made, good or bad. Welles and Wood may have been on the opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of quality, but I think they'd still have a lot in common. Even if it never happened, the movie NEEDED a scene like this.
The movie from the beginning and ending make it clear that, while a lot of what happened did occur, much of it was exaggerated or made up; but this shows why you need to do that in biopics, this is one of my favorite scenes.
That's because Orson is a man's man, he's secure in his manhood to not be disturbed by such things...well as long as the trollop doesn't get fresh and touch him in his naughty parts. lol
"Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?" Such great words, even if Orson Welles didn't actually go on record saying them, still it sounds like something he would have said.
"Gee, Orson, what do you wanna do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night, Ed. Try to get our movies made OUR way for a change!" They're Eddie And The Brain, They're Eddie And The Brain, One makes schlock movies, The other raised Kane. To make their visions live, There's nothing they won't give, Get ready for Eddie And The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain!
That last line spoken by Orson Welles/Brain/Maurice LaMarche....YES!!! SO TRUE. And, God willing,tomorrow, I will live MY dream of working in a book store. From now on, I will WANT to go to work! LIVE the DREAM!
Love this scene. The director of the world's best movie (Citizen Kane) meets the director of the world's worst movie (Plan 9 From Outer Space) and discover how much they have in common when it comes down to it. Both film makers facing the same problems. Great scene even if it never happened in reality.
''Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?'' A quote for dreamers like us. I Hope everyone continues to do whatever it takes to reach their goals.
Orson Welles had a wonderful, unpretentious sense of humor about himself and the film industry. It's easy to imagine that if he had lived to see this movie and scene he would have loved it, and been greatly touched.
I think we delude ourselves by imagining our heroes of old liking the same things we do. We can never know what Welles would have though - he might have hated it.
@@Hattes That is true, but he did have ability to not take himself seriously when it was needed. True Showman cannot always be a hero or villain - he must also be a fool and Welles was magnificent showman.
Maurice LaMarche's imitation of Orson Welles's voice is so close to the original, it's almost scary! He can also do an exceptional Vincent Price voice impersonation; in fact he did most of the celebrity impersonations in the animated series The Critic. Having originally been in stand-up comedy has some perks, I suppose...
Corey Murray I've always thought that the Brain, who was a caricature of Orson Welles sounded more like Vincent Price, while Welles' voice was deeper and sometimes raspier.
Orson Welles was the type of person who would give someone like Ed Wood the time of day. This meeting never happened in real life, but I like to think this is how it would have played out if it had.
Footage I’ve seen of Welles interviewing Andy Kaufman (you can Google it..its somewhere here on TH-cam, believe it or not) certainly proved to me that Welles was open minded and not a snob. I think Orson would have talked to Ed Wood and the conversation may very well have played out as it did in this film.
The absolute most inspiring scene for ANY creative person. Here we have the best filmmaker and the worst, coming together over the same problems. I know you all know this and you don't need it lectured to you, but damn does it do my heart good to watch something like this.
If everyone had Wood's drive, ambition, and passion, this world would be a better place. Yes, he made shit but he was so optimistic and was a go getter.
oscarxp25 True. His films were utter crap, but he had a lot of heart and determination, and sometimes that's more important than actually having talent or skill, which can be developed eventually most of the time. This is probably why he's a fascinating person to read about and the film here about his life is definitely one of the more interesting films Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have worked together on.
That was Burton's affectionate tribute to Ed Wood. I don't know what Wood was like in real life (Depp's performance is deliberately not meant to be realistic), but I do accept your point. The Paradoxical Commandments state: "Give the world your best and it may never be enough. Give the world your best anyway."
RIP Orson Welles (May 6, 1915 - October 10, 1985), aged 70 And RIP Ed Wood (October 10, 1924 - December 10, 1978), aged 54 You both will always be remembered as legends.
Fun fact: the bartender in this scene is played by Conrad Brooks, who was in "Plan 9 from Outer Space", and was in fact portrayed in the film itself by Brent Hinkley.
How can you not love this? Vincent D'Onofrio and Maurice Lamarche as one, portraying a film icon. Who ever you are, one person disliking this video... I bet you emphasize "in" before "July", don't you, you monster?
Actually Heston was the one who went out of his way to promote Welles as the director of Touch of Evil in the first place, If it hadn't been for him Welles would never have had any part in that film.
"Ed Wood" is an amazing movie Tim Burton in his prime before he either sold out or just dried up. And this scene is pure genius. The (according to critics) best and worst (US) directors ever, and they have so much in common. Funny scene, and also deeply moving.
One of the in-jokes of this movie is that Wood shot Bride Of The Monster around the same time Orson Welles was shooting Touch Of Evil. And although Welles didn't suffer studio interference during production of his movie (partly by shooting most of Touch Of Evil at night when the Suits wouldn't be sniffing around the set), he found Universal had recut it while he was on a trip to Mexico scouting locations. So in that way both Welles and Wood were in the same boat as filmmakers. BTW, it was Welles' idea to change the Charlton Heston character to a Mexican drug cop instead of a U.S. district attorney. Heston had already been cast albeit it he agreed to appear in the movie only if Welles directed, and Welles made the change in character and other changes after he was assigned the director's chair.
I know that Wood never met Welles in real life but I have a different interpretation of this scene. In my opinion, this meeting is all in Ed's imagination. Ed's had his creativity compromised and he's at his breaking point. So naturally, he's probably turn to his inner love of film for guidance. And that love of film is personified by his hero Orson Welles. I know that's probably not what Burton intended but it's still an interesting interpretation.
That's how it serves the plot, but that's not the whole: there is more going on. Particularly it shows that at its core, their creations spring forth from the same well.
Jonah Falcon And even Ed himself looks in the mirror, contemplating whether or not he should meet his idol dressed like that. Yes he's happy wearing angora sweaters, but there's no saying that Orson wouldn't freak out.
This is one of the best scenes in a biopic that never happened in real life, honestly you could probably do a moment similar to this scene with two other famous directors Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg. As his career went on Orson Welles had many troubles from studios and apparently struggled financially during his later years (although he could still afford a chauffer) so this scene does make sense in many ways once you learn more about both men. Has anyone ever considered making a biopic about Orson Welles, I think it could be interesting.
I just love this scene. In the film Ed idolizes Welles as a legend but he never seems to measure to his talents. It's only when he meets him while he's at his lowest does he realize that they're both just two men experiencing similar problems. I think that's why Ed is so comfortable talking to him because he sees that Orson is also not immune to the setbacks of being a director
This is a great scene! It’s beyond crazy to me the lack of control Welles had after Kane. It’s almost like his filmography was in reverse most filmmakers get limited with their first feature and then gain some leverage after a few. But Welles had everything at the start and then went to never even being able to release his final film. It’s released in about a week! I can’t wait to see it!
With Maurice Lamarche dubbing Welles' voice, I was half expecting the scene to close out with "And remember, Ed, there is no fish stick like Mrs. Pelles. Oh yes, they're even better in black and white!"
I don't care what anyone says. Ed Wood was an inspiration and a testimate to how you can never stop trying in a world that will never want to you to be yourself and live your dream.
This is just like when M. Night Shyamalan met Steven Speilberg. Speilberg offered him to write the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but Shyamalan refused, thinking he wouldn't do a good job. Shyamalan was so convinced that he was such filmmaker, that couldn't see his own mistakes.
I'm shameful to admit this: I seen both Ed Wood and Full Metal Jacket multiple times. And I JUST found out that Orsen Welles is played by the same guy that played Private Pyle. I am ashamed of myself.
Why no one in the comments seems to notice this little great performance of Vincent D'Onofrio, i would confuse him with the real Welles if the light as a bit more dim and the voice a bit higher. Not to forget the film was made nearly a decade after the man had passed away aged 70.
What I got from this scene is surround yourself with people who inspire you to follow your dreams , shoot for the moon if you miss you'll be amongst the stars
I asked my film teacher what his opinion of Ed Wood was and he said, "For those of you who don't know, Ed wood is someone who's made films that (laughed alittle) are considered the worst, but there's definitely a creative process to it that I respect"
Two opposite ends of talent meet and are equally hampered by forces beyond their control. This scene has pure cinematic magic and both have at least one movie on the List of 1001. That makes them equal in eyes of later generations.
This moment actually never happened. I like to think is just a dream Ed Wood has to encourage himself. Is a very beautiful scene, and the performance of D'Onofrio as Wells is mesmerizing
My favorite scene, along with the rest of the ending, from my second favorite movie, only behind Magnolia. Definitely my favorite movie about filmmaking.
The people I truly revered in the last century were Orson Welles, Jonathan Winters, Oscar Levant, and still going strong, Tom Waits. My own private Mt. Rushmore.
"And they're always trying to cast their buddies - it doesn't even matter if they're right for the part!" *cough!* Tim Burton! *cough!* Helena! *COUGH!* *COUGH!*
I love the reference to Touch of Evil and the issue of Charlton Heston playing a Mexican. It's a good film, but casting Heston as an Hispanic character was dumb, regardless of his acting prowess in the role.
Actually if it wasn't for Heston Touch of Evil wouldn't have had Welles's involvement in it at all. Heston was the one who fought to have Welles direct Touch of Evil in the first place.
If you watch the Coen brothers’ “Hail, Caesar!”, Alden Ehrenreich (the actor who plays Han in “Solo”) looks very much like a young Orson W elles. I thought the resemblance was uncanny and it reminded me of this scene so I watched this, remembering Vincent D’Onofrio’s strong impersonation. I must say that Ehrenreich more closely resembles Welles, but more from the “War of the Worlds” era. Of course they would still need Maurice LaMarche to dub the voice.
How thrilled must Maurice LaMarche have been to bust out his Welles impression for something other than a joke. Voices are hard enough, but to actually ACT through it takes serious skill.
"I hate it when that happens." Welles knew all too well the impact of studio meddling - the original ending of his film _The Magnificent Ambersons_ was not only removed by the studio without his involvement or consent, it was also destroyed. We will never know how Welles intended for that film to end.
I LOLed at the part when Orson Welles gave Ed Wood the inspirational and touching speech of chasing his own dreams, then CUT to Johnny Depp in drag marching back into the studio and talking to stuffy men in suits.
One thing bothers me...Charlton Heston fought adamantly to have Welles direct "Touch of Evil", did he not? In fact, he insisted on it to the producer and would not have done it without Orson. OK, he has no trace of a Spanish accent as Vargas and make-up coated him with some kind of bronzer but I find him completely believable in the role; it's one of the best things Heston did in one of the greatest film noir ever made.
I know what you mean. It comes across as getting sort of a cheap laugh at the expense of Heston. It was indeed a great film and Heston was great in it.
When I first watched this scene, I thought it sounded less like Orson Welles and more like Maurice LaMarch's Orson Welles impersonation. I half expected him to start trying to sell me Rosebud Frozen Peas or Mrs. Pell's Fish Sticks. Then I found out it was indeed Maurice LaMarch's voice, and it all made sense.
Ed Wood: "Is it all worth it?" Orson Welles: "It is when it works." Best answer to such a question. Such an exchange not only applies to the movie industry, but also the publishing industry, the video gaming industry or for that matter any industry.
I remember watching this in my film arts class. Naturally, we had watched Lost in La Mancha about a week or two previously, so all of us started dying at the Don Quixote reference. Fantastic movie though, and this scene is beyond great.
At 1:03, Welles takes the cigar out of his mouth with his right hand, but a second later we see him holding it with his left hand. So apparently there was not only some movie magic with his voice, but some sleight-of-hand with his cigar as well.
Does anyone else think maybe that Welles wasn’t actually there and is in fact a representation of the creative spark and passion that was inside Ed all along?
Never seen the movie but I wasnt aware that D'Onofrio played Welles on screen here while Maurice LaMarche waa uncredited as the voice. Really nice synergy here to give us a solid portrayal.
It's kind of weird to hear The Brain say something inspirational. Pinky: "Gee, Brain. Do you think this plan to take over the wold is even worth it?" Brain: "It will be when it works."
It was Orson Welles that suggested Heston play a Mexican in Touch of Evil, as the character was Anglo in the book from which the movie came. And, if not for Heston recommending Welles be the director, he would not have been director. Welles wanted the hero of the movie to be Mexican. Those modern hollywood PC police can shove the revisionist history where it belongs.
I can't get over how IDENTICAL Vincent is to Orson here.
Seriously! I just saw the movie for the first time and figured they'd edited in footage from an interview or something.
Hard to believe that's the same guy as Pvt Pyle, the Kingpin, and Thor.
Was he doing the dialogue too or did they dub over a sound alike. It's spot on.
Wikipedia says " Maurice LaMarche did Welles' uncredited voice."
darkangelzephyron Mauriche LaMarche voiced Orson here. He used this voice to also voice Brain on Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain.
+JanuarysGinger He also uses this same basic voice several different times in Futurama. For the head of Orsen Welles, as well as the narrator of the tales of interest.
I love the fact that Orson Welles doesn´t say anything about Wood wearing women´s clothes but instead connects with him as far as the hardships of getting a movie done.
Because he might think that Ed's wearing a costume and just taking a break from shooting films, which is a usual deal when you're near the filming studio.
Viktor Andersen but not when you introduce yourself as a director
Well Orson starred in his own movies so he wouldn't think much of that.
@@DarkVaati13 two.interesting.men!.
Well he is in Los Angeles.
Jesus, Vincent is a criminally underrated actor. This was a short but brilliant performance
In spite of the overdubbing for this one. I wonder how it would've sounded if he was doing it himself...
This never happened in real life. People criticize the scene for that, but I don't. It's poetic, the worlds finest film maker inspired the worlds worst one
+Uncle Fester It never happened, but everything they say is true.

I agree, you don't have to be at the same level of talent to talk 'shop', e.g. baseball players (athletes in general), writers, artists, etc.
The movie from the beginning and ending make it clear that, while a lot of what happened did occur, much of it was exaggerated or made up; but this shows why you need to do that in biopics, this is one of my favorite scenes.
Epic how Orson doesn't flinch in the presence of a man wearing a beautiful, fluffy, Angora sweater.
I know right? I wouldn't be able to contain myself in the presence of such beautiful attire!
MrLCGO You and me both.
It's Hollywood. Transvestites don't even register after a while.
That's because Orson is a man's man, he's secure in his manhood to not be disturbed by such things...well as long as the trollop doesn't get fresh and touch him in his naughty parts. lol
They're also near a studio, and he might think Ed's in costume.
"Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?" Such great words, even if Orson Welles didn't actually go on record saying them, still it sounds like something he would have said.
Such a genius film.
That reaction shot when EDWjr feels his soul glowing again, it's hilarious and sad and genuinely moving all at once.
Here we have Findus Fish Fingers
Because he DID IT but he DIDN'T say IT.
@@TheGyroBarqusShow Yes, I know actions speak louder than words, but sometimes it's refreshing to hear them, especially in this case.

"Gee, Orson, what do you wanna do tonight?"

The look Ed Wood gives when Wells says "They want Charleton Heston to play a Mexican..." never fails to make me laugh.
Actually Heston was the one who went out of his way to promote Welles as the director of Touch of Evil in the first place,
If it hadn't been for him Welles would never have had any part in that film.
I see that Mr. Welles assumes all Mexicans are 5 feet tall and brown.
That's ironic. I grimace at the thought of Johnny Depp playing Tonto.
😬 😬 😬 😬
I had no idea that was even dubbed! Brilliant editing and performances from both Lamarche and D'Onofrio
People criticize this movie for not being accurate, but for it me doesn’t matter. This is one of the best movies I ever saw.
"Ed Wood" is an amazing movie Tim Burton in his prime before he either sold out or just dried up. And this scene is pure genius. The (according to critics) best and worst (US) directors ever, and they have so much in common. Funny scene, and also deeply moving.
I just love this scene. Both the physical actor and the voice actor dubbing the lines made me forgot that it wasn't the real Orson Welles ^_^

Well it would explain why Orson isn't fazed by Ed Wood wearing women's clothing.
That's how it serves the plot, but that's not the whole: there is more going on.
Particularly it shows that at its core, their creations spring forth from the same well.

To break it down for ya that's Maurice LaMarche doin Orson Welles
Vincent D'Onofrio
This is one of the best scenes in a biopic that never happened in real life, honestly you could probably do a moment similar to this scene with two other famous directors Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg. As his career went on Orson Welles had many troubles from studios and apparently struggled financially during his later years (although he could still afford a chauffer) so this scene does make sense in many ways once you learn more about both men. Has anyone ever considered making a biopic about Orson Welles, I think it could be interesting.
- Gee, Orson, what do you want to do tonight?
- The same thing we do every night, Ed - try to take over the cinema!
0:05 Man looking THAT upset dressed in women's clothing in the 50's, you get him whateeeeeever drink he wants and FAST.
Maurice Lamarche, one of the greatest living voice actors
Vincent & Maurice doing Orson Welles in a Tim Burton movie. Love it!!!
Today it just looks so far seeing Johnny Depp actually committing that deeply in a role.
vincent d'onofrio portraying orson welles was truly incredible. He legit played the part
I just love this scene. In the film Ed idolizes Welles as a legend but he never seems to measure to his talents. It's only when he meets him while he's at his lowest does he realize that they're both just two men experiencing similar problems.

Everyone does and will have these issues, the real difference is how they handle them. That's the deciding factor
This is a great scene! It’s beyond crazy to me the lack of control Welles had after Kane. It’s almost like his filmography was in reverse most filmmakers get limited with their first feature and then gain some leverage after a few. But Welles had everything at the start and then went to never even being able to release his final film. It’s released in about a week! I can’t wait to see it!
This is why I love this movie so much.
The first time I saw this I thought they used archival footage of Orson.
Vincent has the look. Maurice has the voice.
Vincent pulled off the voice pretty well too. th-cam.com/video/s-4PPr3r_r0/w-d-xo.html
Visions ARE worth fighting for... unless you try to emphasize "in" before "July". lol
With Maurice Lamarche dubbing Welles' voice, I was half expecting the scene to close out with "And remember, Ed, there is no fish stick like Mrs. Pelles. Oh yes, they're even better in black and white!"
I almost died from giddiness. I really saw Ed Wood meeting Orson Welles.

This movie is sooo good.
This is a marvellous scene...It's the Tim Burton's homage to two great personalities in the history of cinema!
I asked my film teacher what his opinion of Ed Wood was and he said, "For those of you who don't know, Ed wood is someone who's made films that (laughed alittle) are considered the worst, but there's definitely a creative process to it that I respect"
Is that Vincent D’inofrio with the Brains voice?
It is!!!!!!
The Brain’s voice is suppose to be an impression of Orson Welles
Vincent D’onofrio’s voice was actually dubbed over because Burton was unhappy with his vocal performance.
Two opposite ends of talent meet and are equally hampered by forces beyond their control. This scene has pure cinematic magic and both have at least one movie on the List of 1001. That makes them equal in eyes of later generations.
This moment actually never happened. I like to think is just a dream Ed Wood has to encourage himself. Is a very beautiful scene, and the performance of D'Onofrio as Wells is mesmerizing
The funny thing is, Wells was so idiosyncratic that this scene is totally believable.
Ironically, Orson Welles and Ed Wood had the same problems in Hollywood.
My favorite scene, along with the rest of the ending, from my second favorite movie, only behind Magnolia. Definitely my favorite movie about filmmaking.
The people I truly revered in the last century were Orson Welles, Jonathan Winters, Oscar Levant, and still going strong, Tom Waits. My own private Mt. Rushmore.
Ladies and gentlemen: Pinky and the Brain.
ChiliConQueso "YES!"
Orson&ed.wood,they.were.king&butler.of.old.hollywood-we.need.them.today.
Pretty good casting for Orson Welles, Vincent from Full Metal Jacket, Men in Black, Adventures of Babysitting, Law in Order, the Cell and Daredevil.
It's crazy how much he does look like Welles.
I wonder if Vincent D'onofrio knew they were going to overdub his voice.
This movie's version of Ed Wood is one of my greatest inspiration.
"And they're always trying to cast their buddies - it doesn't even matter if they're right for the part!"
*cough!* Tim Burton! *cough!* Helena! *COUGH!* *COUGH!*
@Viking Song Carter as Mrs. Lovett? Failure of the worst degree.
I remember seeing this in theaters and being stunned by how much Vincent D'Onofrio looks like Welles at that age.
I love the reference to Touch of Evil and the issue of Charlton Heston playing a Mexican. It's a good film, but casting Heston as an Hispanic character was dumb, regardless of his acting prowess in the role.
alucard624 True enough, but really after the initial shock of it, you forget all about it and the movie is great.
alucard624 I think even Heston admitted that his biggest mistake was not attempting a Spanish accent when playing Vargas.
Still, a damn good film.
docdave15 Mexicans don't all look Latino, but if he didn't even have a correct accent; then yeah the characterization would be a total fail.
Actually if it wasn't for Heston Touch of Evil wouldn't have had Welles's involvement in it at all.
Heston was the one who fought to have Welles direct Touch of Evil in the first place.
Heston said he was proud of that.
Mr Depp is now a $90,000 per minute actor and Mr Welles is dead with unfinished films. HOLLYWOOD :D
If you watch the Coen brothers’ “Hail, Caesar!”, Alden Ehrenreich (the actor who plays Han in “Solo”) looks very much like a young Orson W
elles. I thought the resemblance was uncanny and it reminded me of this scene so I watched this, remembering Vincent D’Onofrio’s strong impersonation. I must say that Ehrenreich more closely resembles Welles, but more from the “War of the Worlds” era. Of course they would still need Maurice LaMarche to dub the voice.
would you look at that, they have the complete opposite talent from each other yet they have the same struggles
Ironic, isn’t it?
Little known fact. Famous voice actor Maurice LaMarche dubbed all of the actor's lines for 'Orson Wells'.
How thrilled must Maurice LaMarche have been to bust out his Welles impression for something other than a joke. Voices are hard enough, but to actually ACT through it takes serious skill.
Visions are worth fighting for.
So Vincent was the actor for this scene but his voice was dubbed by Maurice, who is also the voice of Brain in Pinky and the Brain lol
Whoever is playing Orson Welles nailed it
Vincent D’Onofrio doing the physical stuff and Maurice LaMarche dubbing him.
@@oneinathousand2156 had no idea the voice was dubbed, cool!
"I hate it when that happens."
Welles knew all too well the impact of studio meddling - the original ending of his film _The Magnificent Ambersons_ was not only removed by the studio without his involvement or consent, it was also destroyed. We will never know how Welles intended for that film to end.
I LOLed at the part when Orson Welles gave Ed Wood the inspirational and touching speech of chasing his own dreams, then CUT to Johnny Depp in drag marching back into the studio and talking to stuffy men in suits.
One thing bothers me...Charlton Heston fought adamantly to have Welles direct "Touch of Evil", did he not? In fact, he insisted on it to the producer and would not have done it without Orson. OK, he has no trace of a Spanish accent as Vargas and make-up coated him with some kind of bronzer but I find him completely believable in the role; it's one of the best things Heston did in one of the greatest film noir ever made.
I know what you mean. It comes across as getting sort of a cheap laugh at the expense of Heston.
It was indeed a great film and Heston was great in it.
so maurice lamarche dubbed the voice here?
When I first watched this scene, I thought it sounded less like Orson Welles and more like Maurice LaMarch's Orson Welles impersonation. I half expected him to start trying to sell me Rosebud Frozen Peas or Mrs. Pell's Fish Sticks.
Then I found out it was indeed Maurice LaMarch's voice, and it all made sense.
Visions are worth fighting for
Ed Wood: "Is it all worth it?"
Orson Welles: "It is when it works."
Best answer to such a question. Such an exchange not only applies to the movie industry, but also the publishing industry, the video gaming industry or for that matter any industry.
Vincent is a really good here if anybody Could do Orson wells life story it’s Vincent, I’m blown away just by his mannerisms here
Check out his followup as Welles: th-cam.com/video/s-4PPr3r_r0/w-d-xo.html
even when he comes back and tries to be all angry and intimidating.. he still is so damm cheerful..love this movid
Vincent looks exactly like Orson it makes me wonder what his impression might have sounded like pre-maurice voice dub.
Funny, this was exactly the same issues that George Lucas had with the studios.
Except all of Lucas's movies combined can't match the talent on display in any 30 seconds of Welles's OR Wood's worst films.
I remember watching this in my film arts class. Naturally, we had watched Lost in La Mancha about a week or two previously, so all of us started dying at the Don Quixote reference.
Fantastic movie though, and this scene is beyond great.
At 1:03, Welles takes the cigar out of his mouth with his right hand, but a second later we see him holding it with his left hand. So apparently there was not only some movie magic with his voice, but some sleight-of-hand with his cigar as well.
All I can hear is Pinky and the Brain
Thank you......Orson.
👍👍👍👍
Does anyone else think maybe that Welles wasn’t actually there and is in fact a representation of the creative spark and passion that was inside Ed all along?
Hmmmmmm….
Interesting theory!
Sometime later, Orson Welles sees Plan 9 From Outer Space and thinks "Good Lord, I've enabled a monster!"
One of my all time favorite movie moments.
Never seen the movie but I wasnt aware that D'Onofrio played Welles on screen here while Maurice LaMarche waa uncredited as the voice. Really nice synergy here to give us a solid portrayal.
It's kind of weird to hear The Brain say something inspirational.
Pinky: "Gee, Brain. Do you think this plan to take over the wold is even worth it?"
Brain: "It will be when it works."
It was Orson Welles that suggested Heston play a Mexican in Touch of Evil, as the character was Anglo in the book from which the movie came. And, if not for Heston recommending Welles be the director, he would not have been director. Welles wanted the hero of the movie to be Mexican. Those modern hollywood PC police can shove the revisionist history where it belongs.
Ed Wood: "What Are You Working On?"
Orson Welles: "Same Thing I Do Every Night Try To Take Over The World!"
He looks like the Great Orson Welles.
Background music is so beautiful
If you need someone to do an Orson Welles impression, Maurice Lamarch is the guy you call!!!!!!! :)
