ORSON WELLES

There are endless examples of other Motion Pictures that successfully promoted towns, cities, and different country’s. THE BEACH, starring Leonardo de Caprio, was a huge success. According to O Jornal O Sul, the Maya Bay Beach location on the island of Koh Phi Phi in Thailand, increased by more than 2000% the number of visitors after the film was shown around the world. Since filming in 1999, the average num-

ber of visits was 171 people per day. But, after the film shown, globally…the average on visiting tourists was over 250 boats a day, and over 4000 visitors who came ashore.

Thailand was visited by more than 35 million tourists in the year 2015, but there was a significant increase in 2016, because in that year there were 10 million tourists, thanks to the premiere of THE BEACH.

BRAVEHEART, tells us the story of the legendary thirteenth century Scottish hero, William Wallace (played by Mel Gibson) came out in 1995 and the next year the amount of people visiting Scotland increased by a massive 300 percent.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2 the second movie in the franchise starring Tom Cruise was shot in Sydney. It has been proven that the movie itself, increased tourism to Australia by over 200 percent.

Even FROZEN, the famous Disney musical in 2013, has not only won the heart of every child, but also fired up the tourism in Norway. Although the movie takes place in the mythical kingdom of Arendelle, it is loosely based on the Scandinavian country of Norway. According to recent Government Reports, travel to Norway from the United States jumped over 37 percent after the movie was released.

That is one more reason why Producer Frederico Lapenda is determined to produce a movie that is indigenous to the history of Brazil. A story that cries out to be made, in the place where it happened. A story filled with glamour, the beauty of Rio, and the drama of espionage in wartime from the sands of Copacabana Beach, to the marble halls of the Presidential Palace. This is the story of the legendary actor, director and writer Orson Welles, who left Hollywood and came to Rio in 1942 … to ride a float in our Mardis Gras…and to be a spy.

To write this exciting new film about the true history of Brazil, Frederico Lapenda has commissioned an Emmy Nominated, and Writer’s Guild Award Winning Writer, to fashion a new screenplay about an incredible life-changing event in the life of Orson Welles. An event that could only happen in our Brazil. An event that impacted our culture, and changed the course of film …. forever.

Lapenda says that films bring tourism, which generates a gigantic impact on a country’s economy. It create jobs, exports the local culture and it gives locals a chance to understand other cultures. According to Gilson Machado the president of Embratur, our federal state owned agency, “tourism joins together almost 52 sectors of the whole economy. It is said to be the fastest way to an economy recovery. In the whole world, the tourism industry is bigger than the chemical one, representing almost 10.4% of the world GDP. Also, it generates 7 times more Jobs than the automotive industry.”

Lapenda who had secured financing to shoot the film, walked away because the investor did not have the same vision for Brazil that he did.

Lapenda went on to say: ‘The power and leverage of negotiation lies with the ability to walk away from a deal.’ This story about my Brazil, is one of the best film I have ever been associated with. And I simply refuse to do a film that fails to do justice to Mr. Welles, and to Brazil.”
