The Producers: Bad movies & crimes against humanity. [Ewe boll not involved]

[frankthedm]

"The Producers" The Mel Brooks' film that takes making bad movies to the level of a crime against humanity, gets a remake.

'Its spriiiiiingtime for Hitler!"

It isn't really a remake, though, as much as a movie version of the musicals version of the movie.

Which they then plan to make a play about in a few years.

Which then gets made into a movie.

Which will get a video game.

That spawns a sequal.

That will be made into a musical.

And a movie.

And...

 

[Mallus]

...that takes making bad movies...

Biallystock and Bloom are making a Broadway musical.

My all time favorite Mel Brooks movie.

I will likely enjoy the musical as well.

The Auld Grump - Winter for Poland and Fraaance!

I hate this movie. The fact that I first saw it when I was still living in Poland, and that the humor didn't hold up in translation at all probably has something to do with it... without the laughs, the whole thing becomes supremely distasteful. (though to be honest, I don't find Mel Brooks all that funny even in the orginal English)

 

[Viking Bastard]

Yeah. I can get how it's not that funny in Poland.

I love it.

I haven't seen it myself, only that there's a version on stage in Toronto.

What part are you from?

I loved the original; one of my favourite comedies and my favourite Mel Brooks movie. My mother saw the Broadway production of The Producers and loved it. I'd be interested in seeing its latest incarnation.

I was born in Toronto, and live in Ontario, but my family's from around Sanok, another small town of about... I don't know how many people about 90km south from Rzeszow, I think. I can't remember.
