Internet streaming service Netflix said Tuesday it would fund the
completion and restoration of iconic filmmaker Orson Welles’s last
movie, the unfinished “The Other Side of the Wind.”
Shot by Welles between 1970 and 1976 from a screenplay he co-wrote with his lover Oja Kodar, it stars the actress alongside legendary actor-director Peter Bogdanovich, John Huston and Dennis Hopper.
Veteran producer Frank Marshall, who was Steven Spielberg’s right-hand man on many of his biggest movies, worked on the original production and has been at the forefront of efforts to complete it for more than 40 years.
