Brando Takes Tennessee's "Arm"
Marlon Brando, never one to shirk from controversy, will team up next year with American History X director Tony Kaye to film One Arm, a boxing saga, based on a screenplay by the late Tennessee Williams.
British director Kaye, who is in a raving dispute with New Line over the in-house editing of his soon-to-be-released skinhead flick, showed X to Brando.
According to Kaye's spokesman, Steve Jaffe, the veteran star, also often a critic of the Hollywood establishment, liked what he saw. Hence the deal, although Brando probably also looked favorably on Williams' name being attached to the One Arm script, which Kaye had purchased from the author's estate.
It was the screen adaptation of Williams' now-classic play A Streetcar Named Desire in l951 that made the then-svelte Brando a major movie star. No longer fighting trim, Brando, 74, will return to the Williams' oeuvre to play a prizefighter who lost his arm prior to his shot at the world heavyweight championship. The bulk of the film will be Brando-narrated flashbacks of the young fighter, a role not yet cast.
A year ago, Brando--last seen onscreen in the 1996 dud The Island of Dr. Moreau--announced his "final" film role would be as the Latin-American dictator in a screen version of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Autumn of the Patriarch. That film is being directed by another Hollywood maverick, Sean Penn--it's a project that could also shoot in l999.
Meantime, Kaye's name is still attached to X, but he continues to lobby to get it removed from credits.
