Marlon Brando narrates documentary from beyond the grave

Late Hollywood legend Marlon Brando has narrated a new documentary about his life from beyond the grave. Listen to Me Marlon, which premiered at Robert Redford’s Sundance Film Festival in Utah this week (ends01Feb15), charts Brando’s rags-to-riches tale and uses extracts from the actor’s audio diary to tell the story in his own words.
The project came about after the tapes were released by the late star’s estate.
Director Stevan Riley tells Vulture.com, “(There was) probably about 300 hours of it (the audio tapes). When we finally got it all transcribed, we had a pile of paper about four feet off the ground… I knew this stuff existed, but I didn’t know how much.
“Marlon actually kept all this stuff in a bunker outside of his house. He didn’t keep any memorabilia at home, but it was all out there. There was also loads of written material to go with the audio and visual material. It’s amazing, because he was so private and so rarely did interviews… There were drawers full of tape recorders.”
The film will air on U.S. TV later this year (15).
The Godfather star Brando died in 2004 at the age of 80.
