Description

Is this a hoax, wrapped in a forgery, inside a long con? It was the Golden Age of Hollywood and with stars in his eyes and typewriter in hand, a teenage William Francis Brown set off for Tinseltown. Because of Orson Welles' colossal blunder with Citizen Kane, the brass at RKO wanted to rein in their "Boy Wonder." Saddling Orson with a young Willie Brown as his screenwriter, they forced him to adapt his War of the Worlds radio-drama as a feature film. But Orson's War of the Worlds would not be a simple adaptation of his infamous radio-drama. This film would ask sinister questions: What if the broadcasts radio listeners heard that night in 1938 were real? What if Martians had, in fact, invaded American soil? What if there was a vast government conspiracy between Franklin Delano Roosevelt, William Randolph Hearst, and a young Orson Welles to hide this truth from the American people: the truth of an "Orson Welles' Conspiracy"? Years after William Brown's death, Robert Dwight Brown would discover in his father's secret safety-deposit box a screenplay of a long, lost Orson Welles' War of the Worlds motion picture that was never actually filmed... wasn't it?
