CANNES, France, May 19 (UPI) -- News has been circulating at the Cannes Film Festival that veteran actor Marlon Brando will star as himself in a low budget film by a Tunisian filmmaker.
Director Ridha Behi is set to begin shooting her $5 million film "Brando and Brando" this summer, BBC reported Wednesday.
The film is about a young boy who heads to the United States in search of the legendary actor.
Brando, 80, also has been involved with the development of the project, including working on script revisions with the director.
The film's producer, Norma Heyman, said the script was "one of the best I have ever read in my life.
"Marlon Brando has turned down every single film, but Ridha's script has done the trick. It's very special," she said.
The Oscar winner last appeared in the 2001 crime drama "The Score" with Robert de Niro and Edward Norton, for which Brando earned $3 million for a cameo role.
