As promised by our screen test -- next week, we'll debut the second installment of Icon Redux, our original video series that recasts classic, iconic moments with breaking new talent. In this case, very new talent -- the charming young fellows pictured here will reincarnate a famous interview given by Marlon Brando to Truman Capote.
