Billy Zane is unrecognizable as Marlon Brando's “Godfather” in the preview of the biopic

Billy Zane made a stunning transformation into the late film actor Marlon Brando.

The 58-year-old looked like a spitting image of Brando's Don Vito Corleone from Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 mob drama “The Godfather.”

Zane plays Brando, who died in 2004 at age 80, in the upcoming biopic Waltzing with Brando.

Zane looked unrecognizable as he wore a black tuxedo, a white button-up shirt and cufflinks, and a rose pinned to his jacket. His gray hair was slicked back and he sported a mustache as he looked like a sinister version of Brando.

Most of the biopic was filmed in Tetiaroa, where Brando and Judge worked on sustainable architecture and practices.
