A Brando New Film

Marlon Brando can afford to be choosy about the films he does. In his eighty years, he has picked up eight Oscar nominations, two wins and countless classic roles. He can particularly afford to be choosy given the salaries he commands for even the smallest of cameos. He famously earned $1million for his blink-and-you'll-miss-it role as Jor-El in the Superman films, and picked up $3million for his last film appearance in 2001's The Score. Now Brando is set to return to the screen, and in a film with a total budget that is less than he typically earns for saying ten lines.
