Mel Brooks Doc in the Works From Judd Apatow


A documentary about Mel Brooks by Judd Apatow is in the works.

A new documentary will look at the life and career of filmmaker Mel Brooks, whose films like The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Spaceballs defined comedy for several generations of people through the past seven decades. Later movies, including High Anxiety, History of the World, Part I, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights, helped establish his legacy as a comic genius. Earlier this year, the Academy gave Brooks an honorary Oscar recognizing his “comedic brilliance, producing acumen, and expansive body of work.”
