Orson Welles Coming Back From The Dead To Narrate A Christmas Movie in 2011 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Orson Welles is back in the movie business. A rare recording only recently discovered of the late filmmaker narrating a children's Christmas novel is being used as the basis for a film.

Drac Studios is in development on "Christmas Tails," a 3D live-action/CG movie to be directed by Todd Tucker and narrated by Welles, who died in 1985. Drac is best known as a special effects and makeup shop for movies including "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," but now is moving into full-fledged production.

"It's a movie about how Santa's dog saves Christmas, but on one level, this a story about the discovery of Orson's lost tapes," Drac president Harvey Lowry said.

Orson Welles is quite a character, arguing over the script of a frozen pea radio advertisement, and being drunk on the set of a wine commercial.

Of course The Critic took notice of the pea and the wine incident.

Well, I guess if Marlon Brando can "return" from the dead to be in Superman Returns, I guess Orson Welles can make a comeback, too.

Speaking of Orson Welles, is ANYONE going to finish The Other Side of the Wind??
