Interesting facts

Always Brando is a 2011 film directed by Tunisian director Ridha Behi. Originally titled Brando and Brando, it was set to star Marlon Brando and Christian Erickson until Brando's death. The film premiered at 2011 Toronto International Film Festival then Abu Dhabi Film Festival where producers Ziad Hamzeh and Ridha Behi received the Black Pearl award for best producers.

Production

Production resumed two years later under the new title of Always Brando. The original script called for the protagonist to come face to face with Brando, but following Brando's death, and while still embodying this story, the film will now chronicle Behi's own problems in making the movie, and will include footage of Brando that Behi shot before Brando's death, becoming part fiction and part documentary.
