If you do, you're probably asking yourself the same question I am--why go to the trouble of making a movie about Welles if you don't have an actor who can play Welles? As at least one other person has mentioned, even in his 20s Welles had an amazingly rich and distinctive voice. This guy has neither.
It's as if you made a film about Morgan Freeman--and you cast Kevin Hart in the lead. Which is a pity, as this is such a great story. (And no offense to Kevin Hart.)
Full disclosure: when I was in college, I had this great idea (I thought) of doing a voodoo Macbeth. I even called it that in my head. Imagine my disappointment to discover I was about fifty years too late. So, Welles' production has been on my mind for a while. Would have loved to see this in the hands of a more experienced team.
