Cybersurfing: Brooks orders “Pizzaman”
Mel Brooks (YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN) recently gave an interview to the Hollywood Reporter, in which he denied that his company, Brooksfilms, was about to close shop. The company was formed back in 1980 when he produced THE ELEPHANT MAN; it was also responsible for David Cronenberg’s 1986 masterpiece THE FLY. According to Brooks, the company has another horror film in the works:
The latest project, “Pizzaman,” is a serious horror film that marks Brooksfilms’ return to the genre. The company produced the successful “The Fly” and its not-so-successful sequel, “The Fly II.”
Brooks said the project is in the script and rewrite stage and that he’s yet to shop it to the studios. He is writing it with Rudy De Luca and Steve Haberman, who previously worked with him on “Life Stinks” and “Dracula: Dead and Loving It.”
Other websites have picked up on this story, but I have not seen any that make the obvious point: this does not sound like a very promising idea for a horror film. As a spoof, maybe, but as a serious film?
