Ed Wood (1994), clip

[vnisanianisback]

The dubbing of Orson Welles is pretty obvious. Notice how there's no ambient noise from his dialogue in the recording.

[TheEnviousdominous]

I beg to differ, he does look a great deal like Orson.

[ShaDHP23]

Master voice actor Maurice LaMarche as the voice of Orson Wells!

[gelchert]

"Can we hurry this up? I've got a fish stick commercial in an hour!"

[ericahornung]

This scene still gives me chills.

[BionicleChicken66]

Are you pondering what I'm pondering, Ed?

[nickdrummer2004]

this is a way better that when he does the brain

i think the brain is supposed to be a parody

[rejectedreject]

Visions are worth fighting for.

[littlemykey3000]

a scene which portrays with one who made the best movie ever and one who made the worst movies ever. amazing.

[Threeballer97]

I love Maurice Lemarche AKA The Brain AKA Kif Kroker AKA Orson Welles AKA too many others to name...

[MRCAB]

Horrible dubbing job, at that. Voice isn't bad, it's just that it doesn't match up.

[Philtration]

As close to Orson Wells as it gets.

Creepy and brilliant.

[DrTelf]

just noticed his cigar jumps hands at 00:46 when the scene cuts.

[ShaDHP23]

The great Maurice Lamarche, master voice actor! He should have been crdited, but at least he should feel satisfied with being in one of the best films of all time.

[FetaCheese222]

@ShaDHP23 Oh, yeah, his Welles impression is one that will never be matched.

[immblueversion]

@ShaDHP23 Well, at least he's been credited just about every other time he voiced Orson Welles.

[cococokoipho]

el mejor consejo q he escuchado en mi vida!!!!!!

[SergeantLuke]

Brain?!

[Cleon29Warrior]

"...but, they want Charlton Heston to play Mexican."

LOL

[MsAndromede]

@Cleon29Warrior

... and actually, he did play the said Mexican! :)

[Cleon29Warrior]

@MsAndromede I think he wasn't bad. He wasn't superb, but he was very satisfying.

[MsAndromede]

@Cleon29Warrior

True! Whatever we may think of Charlton Heston, he wasn't a bad actor and he was able to handle such a paradoxical situation. As far as I remember, he was even given some freedom by Welles. There's a scene where he is in a car having a conversation with a fellow actor and they had to shoot it as a full sequence and apparently Welles allowed him to do it on his own.

Oh, I need to dig up my dvd of A Touch of Evil and watch the "making of" the film. ;)

[genesis098123]

@MsAndromede and funny thing to put in the movie if you think of the fact that wells played othello

[coleseidl]

@Cleon29Warrior

The ironic part is that Heston wasn't supposed to play a Mexican. Welle's added that to the movie himself.

[jerico641]

@coleseidl

Are you sure about that?

[coleseidl]

@jerico641 Yes, I'm 100% sure. It's in several of his biographies, it's also in the audio recordings of the extensive interviews conducted with him by Peter Bogdonavich.

[gabel1337]

@Cleon29Warrior Honestly, he was great too! Touch of Evil is my favorite Welles film and while the man himself is great in it, I think Heston does the best performance in the film!

[JamesOhGoodie]

This scene is brilliant. It shows, even though they were on opposite ends of the quality spectrum, Ed Wood and Orson Welles had more in common as filmmakers than people would believe.

[obiwanobiwan13]

Arguably the best and worst directors of all-time at the same booth...

But the one thing both men had in common--THEY LOVED ART AND THEATRE AND FILMS.

RIP Welles and Wood...visions ARE worth fighting for!

[Dgamer21]

Hi Joker!

[Onlymusical]

I think it was Paul Frees who dubbed Welles' voice for this scene. D'Onofrio and Welles certainly did look alike, although this would've been the 1943 version of Welles, by this time he was much heavier. This scene is fictitious but it really adds a lot to this fine movie. By the way, I think making Heston's character a Mexican in "Touch of Evil" was Welles' idea, to make the character a little more interesting. See "This Is Orson Welles," the interview book with Peter Bogdanovich.

[coolaid77ify]

@Onlymusical

No. The talented Maurice Lamarche!

[romas1995]

vincent donorfio and johnny depp at this same movie !!

awesome !!

he actually looks like orson welles and of this really happend in real life then ed wood cant be the worst filmmaker , ed wood had what most hollywood shit machines nowadays have not , heart !

[Paperbagman555]

Wow he looks exactly like Orson Welles!

[MsAndromede]

@Paperbagman555

No, he doesn't but it doesn't matter either. ;)

[Paperbagman555]

@MsAndromede Oh come on, theres lots of similarity at 0:58 (young Orson)

[waiting4smtin]

@MsAndromede Yes he did. The scene was touched so much, so can't admire his talent of playing orsen's mannerisms, but he looked and sound a lot like when orsen was his age, Kane's time.

[FreshBakedGaming]

@Paperbagman555 I was just about to say that. This is one of my favorite scenes from this movie.

[StrikerSL9]

Maurice LaMarche is one of the best voice actors of our generation.

If Unicron (who was originally voiced by Orson Welles) ever appears in a new Transformers movie or video game, he had better be voiced by LaMarche.

Oh, and also he's gonna be Mr. Freeze in Arkham City.

God, I love this voice!

[RiseofMarine]

Vincent D'Onorfio! Hot damn!!!

[vidgirl8]

@jetanton Maurice LaMarche who does the voice of The Brain, also did the voice in this scene.

[MsAndromede]

@vidgirl8

You mean that Maurice LaMarche, who is Welles' voice here, was also The Brain's, I guess. Okay, what is "The Bain"?

[MMKayProduction]

@MsAndromede "The Brain" is a character from the animated show "Animaniacs" and its spin-off "Pinky and the Brain." Pinky and the Brain were two laboratory mice who were set on taking over the world. I figured most everyone knew about those shows...

[MsAndromede]

@MMKayProduction

Inside the USA maybe, not outside.

[MsAndromede]

@jetanton

Oops, I'm afraid the reference escapes me...

[potzina1]

J'adore ce film! C'est un de mes Burton préférés...et Vincent y est très bon quoiqu'il en pense. D'une certaine manière, on doit un grand merci à Tim Burton. Si Vincent n'avait pas été déçu par sa performance dans le film, il n'aurait pas réalisé 5 Minutes...On doit un chef-d'œuvre à Tim!! :D

[MsAndromede]

@potzina1

J'avoue avoir du mal avec ce film. Le personnage de Ed Wood me met mal à l'aise. J'ai toujours eu du mal avec l'amateurisme naïf qui fait sourire soit de manière moqueuse soit de manière méprisante. Et puis, Johnny Depp en fait vraiment trop! lol J'adore Johnny, mais bon... ;)

Euh, classer "Five Minutes..." parmi les chefs d'œuvre est peut-être exagéré. Vincent a fait un excellent travail ici mais je me demande toujours pourquoi il fait parler Welles avec un accent anglais. (?)

[potzina1]

@MsAndromede J'exagère toujours quand il s'agit de Vincent! Bon, pour tout dire, je perds la raison dès qu'il est au générique d'un film!
