He was 67 ... Hunt began his association with Welles in 1970, working on "The Other Side of the Wind," a film that was never completed and around which there is still much controversy.

Hunt's exact role in OSOTW was unclear in many of the articles and books written about the film. In recent months, he was a partner in Project Welles LLC with Sanford Horowitz and John Nicholas. The trio have billed themselves as executive producers of the film, having apparently obtained the rights from the family of Mehdi Boushehri. They are seeking complete ownership of OSOTW with plans to release it commercially. You can read more at http://wellesnet.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1001&start=270#p18563
