Mel Brooks isn't going anywhere. The renowned funnyman said Friday that he's not shuttering his 30-year-old production shingle Brooksfilms, contrary to one New York gossip page report, and that he's developing a horror film with longtime writing collaborators Rudy De Luca and Steve Haberman. 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 "The Fly II." Brooks said the project is in the script and rewrite stage and that he's hasn't shopped it to the studios yet.

The title sounds like a farce. However, if it's as good as The Fly, this could be interesting.

People seem to be astonished that Mel Brooks is attatched to a horror film, but from what Ive gathered from seeing and reading interviews with him, he's a fan of the genre. Not only did he produce The Fly, but Ive heard him mention that he's a fan of Sam Raimi, more specifically, Evil Dead 2. And besides, just look at Young Frankenstein. That film was obviously made as a loving tribute to the genre that spawned the original and everyone knows that his son Max is into horror (World War Z). This could be interesting. ps-R.I.P Harvey Korman

Stever Haberman was one of my screenwriting teachers at USC and we all read his script in class. It's sort of ridiculous and would probably go straight to video...it reminds me od Dr. Giggles or The Dentist.
