Thanks to Colin Hand for sending along this link to a nice interview with Frank Marshall about his latest movie, Eight Below, which also covers Marshall’s long association with Peter Bogdanovich.
However the highlight for Welles fans is a tidbit about Marshall’s ongoing involvement in producingThe Other Side of The Wind, which is apparently now an on-again project for Showtime:
Box Office Mojo: Any plans to work with Peter Bogdanovich in the future?
Frank Marshall: Actually, we’re re-cutting and updating the John Ford documentary (Bogdanovich’s Directed by John Ford with narration by Orson Welles). We’ve done new interviews with Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, Walter Hill and others. It’s really exciting. It will air on Turner Classic Movies this October. Ford is so important to my history in the business. We’re also working with Showtime on finishing Orson Welles’ last movie, The Other Side of the Wind, which I worked on in the 1970s (as production manager). We have a script. We shot it all I worked on it for over five years but we never put it together. Showtime has been incredibly supportive. I’m producing what will be the final movie that Orson directed.
