They'll Love Me When I'm Dead, which takes its name from a prophetic comment Welles made to Peter Bogdanovich, centers on Welles' return to the U.S. in the early 1970s to shoot his ill-fated Hollywood comeback film. The documentary concludes with his death in October 1985. "Welles is the protagonist of my documentary," Neville said.
