In 1970, Orson Welles (yes, that Orson Welles) never completed work on his film “The Other Side of the Wind.” The film, which was set to star John Huston and Peter Bogdanovich, was never completed, and after the untimely death of Welles, was thought to be lost forever. Enter Netflix and their endless bank account. Now, with the help of Frank Marshall and other producers, the film is finally finished and has a new score to boot. So, classic film fans will finally get a chance to see Welles’ final work.
“They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead”
Release Date: 11/2
Consider this your Orson Welles one-two punch combination. The perfect addition to your Orson Welles Netflix night, “They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead” is the latest documentary from Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville and traces the life of the legendary filmmaker during the final 15 years of his life. The film also chronicles the initial production of “The Other Side of the Wind,” and shows the behind-the-scenes drama that led to the film’s incomplete status.
“Outlaw King”
Release Date: 11/9
Sure, on paper, Chris Pine with a Scottish accent sounds ridiculous. But in the hands of filmmaker David Mackenzie, who worked with Pine on the incredible film “Hell or High Water,” “Outlaw King” looks like an incredible piece of work. The film, which tells the untold, true story of Robert the Bruce, who transforms from defeated nobleman to outlaw hero, is scheduled to make the festival rounds this fall before landing on the streaming service. But in our first look at the trailer, it appears that Pine and Mackenzie have a fun, brutal, medieval epic on their hands.
