I can't get over how IDENTICAL Vincent is to Orson here.

This never happened in real life. People criticize the scene for that, but I don't. It's poetic, the worlds finest film maker inspired the worlds worst one

I love the fact that Orson Welles doesn´t say anything about Wood wearing women´s clothes but instead connects with him as far as the hardships of getting a movie done.

Epic how Orson doesn't flinch in the presence of a man wearing a beautiful, fluffy, Angora sweater.

"Gee, Orson, what do you wanna do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night, Ed. Try to get our movies made OUR way for a change!" They're Eddie And The Brain, They're Eddie And The Brain, One makes schlock movies, The other raised Kane. To make their visions live, There's nothing they won't give, Get ready for Eddie And The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain!

"Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?" Such great words, even if Orson Welles didn't actually go on record saying them, still it sounds like something he would have said.

Jesus, Vincent is a criminally underrated actor. This was a short but brilliant performance

Love this scene. The director of the world's best movie (Citizen Kane) meets the director of the world's worst movie (Plan 9 From Outer Space) and discover how much they have in common when it comes down to it. Both film makers facing the same problems. Great scene even if it never happened in reality.

The look Ed Wood gives when Wells says "They want Charleton Heston to play a Mexican..." never fails to make me laugh.

Orson Welles had a wonderful, unpretentious sense of humor about himself and the film industry. It's easy to imagine that if he had lived to see this movie and scene he would have loved it, and been greatly touched.

RIP Orson Welles (May 6, 1915 - October 10, 1985), aged 70 And RIP Ed Wood (October 10, 1924 - December 10, 1978), aged 54 You both will always be remembered as legends.

Vincent D'Onofrio, amazing!!!! Great actor.

Fun fact: the bartender in this scene is played by Conrad Brooks, who was in "Plan 9 from Outer Space", and was in fact portrayed in the film itself by Brent Hinkley.

Maurice LaMarche's imitation of Orson Welles's voice is so close to the original, it's almost scary! He can also do an exceptional Vincent Price voice impersonation; in fact he did most of the celebrity impersonations in the animated series The Critic. Having originally been in stand-up comedy has some perks, I suppose...

''Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?'' A quote for dreamers like us. I Hope everyone continues to do whatever it takes to reach their goals.

If everyone had Wood's drive, ambition, and passion, this world would be a better place. Yes, he made shit but he was so optimistic and was a go getter.

Orson Welles was the type of person who would give someone like Ed Wood the time of day. This meeting never happened in real life, but I like to think this is how it would have played out if it had.

The absolute most inspiring scene for ANY creative person. Here we have the best filmmaker and the worst, coming together over the same problems. I know you all know this and you don't need it lectured to you, but damn does it do my heart good to watch something like this.

I just love this scene. Both the physical actor and the voice actor dubbing the lines made me forgot that it wasn't the real Orson Welles ^_^

"Ed Wood" is an amazing movie Tim Burton in his prime before he either sold out or just dried up. And this scene is pure genius. The (according to critics) best and worst (US) directors ever, and they have so much in common. Funny scene, and also deeply moving.

People criticize this movie for not being accurate, but for it me doesn’t matter. This is one of the best movies I ever saw.

How can you not love this? Vincent D'Onofrio and Maurice Lamarche as one, portraying a film icon. Who ever you are, one person disliking this video... I bet you emphasize "in" before "July", don't you, you monster?

Vincent has the look. Maurice has the voice.

I just love this scene. In the film Ed idolizes Welles as a legend but he never seems to measure to his talents. It's only when he meets him while he's at his lowest does he realize that they're both just two men experiencing similar problems. I think that's why Ed is so comfortable talking to him because he sees that Orson is also not immune to the setbacks of being a director

I had no idea that was even dubbed! Brilliant editing and performances from both Lamarche and D'Onofrio

I know that Wood never met Welles in real life but I have a different interpretation of this scene. In my opinion, this meeting is all in Ed's imagination. Ed's had his creativity compromised and he's at his breaking point. So naturally, he's probably turn to his inner love of film for guidance. And that love of film is personified by his hero Orson Welles. I know that's probably not what Burton intended but it's still an interesting interpretation.

This is why I love this movie so much.

This is just like when M. Night Shyamalan met Steven Speilberg. Speilberg offered him to write the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but Shyamalan refused, thinking he wouldn't do a good job. Shyamalan was so convinced that he was such filmmaker, that couldn't see his own mistakes.

This movie's version of Ed Wood is one of my greatest inspiration.

Maurice Lamarche, one of the greatest living voice actors

I asked my film teacher what his opinion of Ed Wood was and he said, "For those of you who don't know, Ed wood is someone who's made films that (laughed alittle) are considered the worst, but there's definitely a creative process to it that I respect"

Two opposite ends of talent meet and are equally hampered by forces beyond their control. This scene has pure cinematic magic and both have at least one movie on the List of 1001. That makes them equal in eyes of later generations.

This is a great scene! It’s beyond crazy to me the lack of control Welles had after Kane. It’s almost like his filmography was in reverse most filmmakers get limited with their first feature and then gain some leverage after a few. But Welles had everything at the start and then went to never even being able to release his final film. It’s released in about a week! I can’t wait to see it!

One of the in-jokes of this movie is that Wood shot Bride Of The Monster around the same time Orson Welles was shooting Touch Of Evil. And although Welles didn't suffer studio interference during production of his movie (partly by shooting most of Touch Of Evil at night when the Suits wouldn't be sniffing around the set), he found Universal had recut it while he was on a trip to Mexico scouting locations. So in that way both Welles and Wood were in the same boat as filmmakers. BTW, it was Welles' idea to change the Charlton Heston character to a Mexican drug cop instead of a U.S. district attorney. Heston had already been cast albeit it he agreed to appear in the movie only if Welles directed, and Welles made the change in character and other changes after he was assigned the director's chair.

Whoever is playing Orson Welles nailed it

- Gee, Orson, what do you want to do tonight? - The same thing we do every night, Ed - try to take over the cinema!

Today it just looks so far seeing Johnny Depp actually committing that deeply in a role.

Vincent D'Onofrio fucking KILLS IT as Orson Welles

I love Maurice LaMarche (voice of Orson Welles), one of my favorite voice actors!

It's crazy how much he does look like Welles.

I almost died from giddiness. I really saw Ed Wood meeting Orson Welles.

Vincent & Maurice doing Orson Welles in a Tim Burton movie. Love it!!!

vincent d'onofrio portraying orson welles was truly incredible. He legit played the part

My favorite scene, along with the rest of the ending, from my second favorite movie, only behind Magnolia. Definitely my favorite movie about filmmaking.

Is that Vincent D’inofrio with the Brains voice? It is!!!!!!

Why no one in the comments seems to notice this little great performance of Vincent D'Onofrio, i would confuse him with the real Welles if the light as a bit more dim and the voice a bit higher. Not to forget the film was made nearly a decade after the man had passed away aged 70.

Background music is so beautiful

One of my all time favorite movie moments.

I don't care what anyone says. Ed Wood was an inspiration and a testimate to how you can never stop trying in a world that will never want to you to be yourself and live your dream.

The first time I saw this I thought they used archival footage of Orson.

Such a beautiful scene :')

This is one of the best scenes in a biopic that never happened in real life, honestly you could probably do a moment similar to this scene with two other famous directors Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg. As his career went on Orson Welles had many troubles from studios and apparently struggled financially during his later years (although he could still afford a chauffer) so this scene does make sense in many ways once you learn more about both men. Has anyone ever considered making a biopic about Orson Welles, I think it could be interesting.

That last line is beautiful

I'm shameful to admit this: I seen both Ed Wood and Full Metal Jacket multiple times. And I JUST found out that Orsen Welles is played by the same guy that played Private Pyle. I am ashamed of myself.

Ed Wood: "Is it all worth it?" Orson Welles: "It is when it works." Best answer to such a question. Such an exchange not only applies to the movie industry, but also the publishing industry, the video gaming industry or for that matter any industry.

This movie is sooo good.

To break it down for ya that's Maurice LaMarche doin Orson Welles

This is a marvellous scene...It's the Tim Burton's homage to two great personalities in the history of cinema!

Vincent is a really good here if anybody Could do Orson wells life story it’s Vincent, I’m blown away just by his mannerisms here

I remember watching this in my film arts class. Naturally, we had watched Lost in La Mancha about a week or two previously, so all of us started dying at the Don Quixote reference. Fantastic movie though, and this scene is beyond great.

0:05 Man looking THAT upset dressed in women's clothing in the 50's, you get him whateeeeeever drink he wants and FAST.

Uncle Moe!! He's never missed an opportunity to do his Orson Welles impression.

Pretty good casting for Orson Welles, Vincent from Full Metal Jacket, Men in Black, Adventures of Babysitting, Law in Order, the Cell and Daredevil.

Visions ARE worth fighting for... unless you try to emphasize "in" before "July". lol

One thing bothers me...Charlton Heston fought adamantly to have Welles direct "Touch of Evil", did he not? In fact, he insisted on it to the producer and would not have done it without Orson. OK, he has no trace of a Spanish accent as Vargas and make-up coated him with some kind of bronzer but I find him completely believable in the role; it's one of the best things Heston did in one of the greatest film noir ever made.

"I hate it when that happens." Welles knew all too well the impact of studio meddling - the original ending of his film _The Magnificent Ambersons_ was not only removed by the studio without his involvement or consent, it was also destroyed. We will never know how Welles intended for that film to end.

The people I truly revered in the last century were Orson Welles, Jonathan Winters, Oscar Levant, and still going strong, Tom Waits. My own private Mt. Rushmore.

What I got from this scene is surround yourself with people who inspire you to follow your dreams , shoot for the moon if you miss you'll be amongst the stars

If you watch the Coen brothers’ “Hail, Caesar!”, Alden Ehrenreich (the actor who plays Han in “Solo”) looks very much like a young Orson W elles. I thought the resemblance was uncanny and it reminded me of this scene so I watched this, remembering Vincent D’Onofrio’s strong impersonation. I must say that Ehrenreich more closely resembles Welles, but more from the “War of the Worlds” era. Of course they would still need Maurice LaMarche to dub the voice.

Does anyone else think maybe that Welles wasn’t actually there and is in fact a representation of the creative spark and passion that was inside Ed all along?

The funny thing is, Wells was so idiosyncratic that this scene is totally believable.

I loved this movie. It was well cast and alot of fun.

"And they're always trying to cast their buddies - it doesn't even matter if they're right for the part!" *cough!* Tim Burton! *cough!* Helena! *COUGH!* *COUGH!*

When I first watched this scene, I thought it sounded less like Orson Welles and more like Maurice LaMarch's Orson Welles impersonation. I half expected him to start trying to sell me Rosebud Frozen Peas or Mrs. Pell's Fish Sticks. Then I found out it was indeed Maurice LaMarch's voice, and it all made sense.

This moment actually never happened. I like to think is just a dream Ed Wood has to encourage himself. Is a very beautiful scene, and the performance of D'Onofrio as Wells is mesmerizing

Did Orson Wells just tell me something that I think sparked my FILMAKING!! what a freaking legend

At 1:03, Welles takes the cigar out of his mouth with his right hand, but a second later we see him holding it with his left hand. So apparently there was not only some movie magic with his voice, but some sleight-of-hand with his cigar as well.

How thrilled must Maurice LaMarche have been to bust out his Welles impression for something other than a joke. Voices are hard enough, but to actually ACT through it takes serious skill.

Thank you......Orson. 👍👍👍👍

Orson Welles had such INCREDIBLE... ACTIING... TALENT!

Visions are worth fighting for.

Ironically, Orson Welles and Ed Wood had the same problems in Hollywood.

even when he comes back and tries to be all angry and intimidating.. he still is so damm cheerful..love this movid

With Maurice Lamarche dubbing Welles' voice, I was half expecting the scene to close out with "And remember, Ed, there is no fish stick like Mrs. Pelles. Oh yes, they're even better in black and white!"

Little known fact. Famous voice actor Maurice LaMarche dubbed all of the actor's lines for 'Orson Wells'.

I LOLed at the part when Orson Welles gave Ed Wood the inspirational and touching speech of chasing his own dreams, then CUT to Johnny Depp in drag marching back into the studio and talking to stuffy men in suits.

Visions are worth fighting for

This scene is more worthwhile than the entirety of Mank

Vincent looks exactly like Orson it makes me wonder what his impression might have sounded like pre-maurice voice dub.

so maurice lamarche dubbed the voice here?

Words of wisdom Orson Welles

"Whatchu working on?" "It's a script for a champagne commercial."

Never seen the movie but I wasnt aware that D'Onofrio played Welles on screen here while Maurice LaMarche waa uncredited as the voice. Really nice synergy here to give us a solid portrayal.

The line about Heston bugs me because it totally distorts things (as so many movies do). It was Heston alone who was responsible for Welles directing Touch of Evil. And secondly, Welles admired Heston very much, and told Peter Bogdanovich, he was one of the most pleasant and easiest-to-work-with actors he ever directed.

I remember seeing this in theaters and being stunned by how much Vincent D'Onofrio looks like Welles at that age.

So many film studios should listen to Orson’s words. The movie industry today is plagued with studio mandate and focusing on making films that will start franchises rather than let the director do the work.

Sometime later, Orson Welles sees Plan 9 From Outer Space and thinks "Good Lord, I've enabled a monster!"

I've always thought the actor playing Welles here was damn near spot on.

Welles' second film, "The Magnificent Ambersons", was taken away from him and chopped up. It's still a tremendous movie.

I wonder if Vincent D'onofrio knew they were going to overdub his voice.
