Orson Welles’ final, unfinished film may be released next year.

The New York Times reports that Royal Road Entertainment is buying the rights to Welles’ film “The Other Side of the Wind” and is aiming to debut it on the 100th anniversary of Welles’ birth – May 6.

Shot between 1970 and 1976, Welles worked on his film-within-a-film until his passing in 1985. He left behind a 45 minute work print.

“The Other Side of the Wind” stars John Huston as a temperamental film director battling with Hollywood executives to finish a movie (anyone else thinking of Welles’ real-life situation?) Susan Strasberg, Lilli Palmer, Dennis Hopper and Peter Bogdanovich co-starred.

It is said that Welles drew inspiration for Huston’s character from Ernest Hemingway after the pair had a whiskey-fuled fight in 1937.
