We don't see much of Mel Brooks these days (barring a great cameo in Curb Your Enthusiasm a couple of years ago) but he's keeping busy. According to Variety he's still "having a lot of fun doing Spaceballs: The Animated Series", and has a "serious horror film in the works" by the name of Pizzaman.
Not the scariest title, and the involvement of Life Stinks and Dracula: Dead and Loving It co-writers Rudy De Luca and Steve Haberman is also food for rather alarmed thought. But lest we forget, Brooks-as-producer was behind David Cronenberg's The Fly and David Lynch's The Elephant Man. So it's not all parody and slapstick.
There are no plot details yet, but, says Brooks, Pizzaman "is a flat-out horror film", and that, in case people think it's a comedy, "I'll keep my name away from it." He's not doing terribly well at that so far, is he?
