New Orson Welles restoration to bring us The Magnificent Animated Ambersons

posted in: All News | 0

A new version of Orson Welles’ infamously butchered second picture, The Magnificent Ambersons, is being created to match what seems to be Welles’ original plans.

According to WellesNet, the filmmaker Brian Rose has spent the last couple of years recutting the Ambersons based upon notes from 1942 that reveal how Wells had cut his workprint. This leaves several scenes unfinished, and those will be reconstructed with animation and voice actors.
