The Other Side of the Wind, which was co-written, co-directed and produced by American actor and filmmaker Orson Welles, took 48 years to film, produce, edit and release. The drama finally premiered in 2018, and stars John Huston, Bob Random, Peter Bogdanovich, Susan Strasberg and Oja Kodar.
Unfortunately, Welles passed away from a heart attack in October 1985 when he was 70 years old, but there were still many efforts from others to release the film. In 2014, the rights were acquired by Royal Road, and the completed project was overseen by Bogdanovich and producer Frank Marshall. It finally premiered at the 75th Venice International Film Festival on August 31, 2018, and was released on Netflix on November 2, 2018. In addition, a documentary about the production process titled They'll Love Me When I'm Dead was also put out.

The plot of the film was inspired by the suicide of the author and Welles' good friend, Ernest Hemingway, in 1961. He didn't start writing the script until five years later, while he was on a trip to Spain and had just wrapped another film called Chimes at Midnight.
Despite the multiple breaks during production, financial issues, legal complications and various missing elements the film lacked, it was worth the wait. The Other Side of the Wind is widely regarded as a masterpiece and holds many wins and nominations from various critics' associations in the United States and internationally.
