"Playbill : What's the secret to The Producers longevity?

MB: I think it's just a matter of right time, right place. There was a thing called video and then there was a thing called DVDs, then it became more successful, and so the time was right for it, ripe for it actually, to go to Broadway. Now, it's the right time for it to be made back into a movie.  

Playbill : With Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane?

MB: Most definitely. There might be a few changes, for instance an Australian chap named Bert Newton plays Franz Leibkind in the show down under and he gives the performance of that role I've ever seen frankly. I'd love Newton to be involved. I'd also like Nicole Kidman to be involved, and apparently she's keen.  

Playbill : Will you have a role in it?

MB : It's doubtful, but I'm writing myself back into the Spaceballs sequel that I'm now writing, so you haven't seen the last of my face. Why another Spaceballs? It wouldn't feel right have anyone else play Yoghurt and the first one was the best experience I've had making a movie since Blazing Saddles.  

Playbill : When can we expect that?

MB : Best case scenario : a week before the new Star Wars opens. Worst Case Scenario : a year after the new star wars opens."

1. one word: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

the first was really bad enough. ;-)

2. Please, please please

don't go nuts with the computer graphics Mel. The cheesiness of the original Spaceballs made the movie. Honestly I think Mel has his work cut out for him.. Parody of computer generated movies has got to be difficult.

3. He's going to make Producers in NYC

Got some tax credits, so instead of shooting it somewhere else, will be shot in a studio in Brooklyn, as well as around the city.

"Springtime for Hitler" the second worst.

9. In typical Mel Brooks fashion it will be loooong after....

...any shelf life on the source of satire. Doing a Robin Hood parody at least 5 years after the Robin Hood movie came out, and the same with his Dracula movie are prime examples of this. And Spaceballs came out how many years after Star Wars?
