Brooks' next film "Pizzaman."


By: Vickie J. Rubinson

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mel Brooks' latest project is "Pizzaman,"- a serious horror film that marks Brooksfilms' return to the genre. The company produced the successful "The Fly," and its not-so-successful "The Fly It."

Brooks said the project is in the script and rewrite stage and that he hasn't shopped it to the studios yet.
Brook's writing partner, Rudy DeLuca's collaboration with the legendary comic, goes back to 1976's "Silent Movie," and continued with "High Anxiety," "Life Stinks" and "Dracula: Dead and Loving it."

I last saw Brooks hanging out at a popular Italian Beverly Hills Restaurant mugging for delighted diners, while munching on knocchi with pesto sauce. He then got up and sang "Happy Birthday to" our party and gave me a giant hug. I also once interviewed to be his personal secretary some years ago, but didn't get the job. Bummer, but the interview was one of the funniest ever.
