According to a recent interview, Mel Brooks is writing a musical based on one of his hit movies – Young Frankenstein.

I just reviewed The Producers remake and frankly, I didn’t think the movie based on the musical was on par with the original. At the same time, Mel’s comedy seems well-suited to becoming a musical.

I’ll still miss Gene Wilder though. I believe Young Frankenstein is such a memorable movie because of his neurotic persona.

Matthew Broderick didn’t even come close in the The Producers remake.
