"The Producers" from the mind of mel brooks
Mel Brooks told the Hollywood Reporter that his movie musical The Producers will begin filming in February at a new studio in Brooklyn because of a new tax credit designed to bring more movies to New York.
The Universal Pictures film stars Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick in the roles they played on Broadway; Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell co-star.
While the movie is all about New York -- taking place in Central Park and elsewhere in Manhattan -- Brooks said that without the new state-supported tax credit, it couldn't have been filmed there.
It's scheduled for release at Christmas 2005.
Now honestally i would definatally see this movie, only because of nathan lane, matthew broderics, and becasue its from the brilliant mind of mel brooks
Originally posted by Mr ZeroI know that I was saying allot on my part..and believe me I consider gene wilder god..perhaps it would have been more appropriate to say that they were both great just different.
Are you saying the play is better than the zero mostel / gene wilder movie? Can you be serious?Who was the cast when you saw it? I was tempted by the london version because I like richard dreyfus - but I dont anticipate it being better than the movie... sheesh...
but honestly when I seen they play I literally had tears in my eyes and my ribs hurt from laughter...and the actors weren't even people I recognised (and can't remember there names of hand) and it was still remarkable..I believe you will surprised
