Ed Wood 1994 Full Movie

Ed Wood – Full Movie Story

In 1952, aspiring writer and director Ed Wood is struggling to enter the film industry. Upon hearing of an announcement in Variety magazine that producer George Weiss is trying to purchase Christine Jorgensen’s life story, Ed meets with Weiss to direct a now fictionalized film titled I Changed My Sex!, but is not hired.

Meeting His Idol, Bela Lugosi

Ed then meets his longtime idol, horror film actor Bela Lugosi, with whom he becomes friends. Ed soon persuades Weiss to let him direct the film by convincing him that having a star in the film would sell tickets, and they could sign Lugosi for a low price.

Challenges and Controversies

During production for Glen or Glenda, Ed and Weiss argue over the film’s title and subject matter, but Weiss eventually plays by Ed’s rules, on the condition that the film’s footage meets seven reels. As filming gets going, with the story now about a transvestite, Ed takes to film production with an unusual approach; shooting only one take per scene, giving actors very little direction, and using stock footage to fill in gaps.

Struggles and Successes

The movie is released to critical and commercial failure, preventing Ed from getting work at Weiss’ Screen Classics or making a partnership with Warner Bros. executive Feldman. On the advice of Fuller, Ed decides to finance his next film independently. In his efforts to fund Bride of the Atom, Ed gets Bela a guest spot on a TV variety show, and meets The Amazing Criswell, who helps Ed in selling himself better.

Following a failed fundraising dinner at the Brown Derby, Ed meets Loretta King, whom he mistakes for a wealthy heiress; he asks her to fund the film and ends up casting her as the lead instead of Fuller, with Fuller being assigned a smaller role, which further strains her relationship with Ed.

Trials and Tribulations

Afterwards, Lugosi dies, leaving Ed without a star. After learning that his landlord’s church is struggling to produce a series of religious films about the twelve apostles, Ed convinces him to allow his church to fund his script for a sci-fi film, Grave Robbers from Outer Space, which could result in a box-office success and generate enough money for the landlord’s dream project.

Legacy and Recognition

Ed Wood was unable to gain mainstream success in the film industry before his death in 1978, and was posthumously named “Worst Director of All Time”. However, this honor ended up earning him worldwide acclaim and a new generation of fans.
