A trailer for the movie dropped today:

Mel Brooks, who turns 99 on 28 June, will be 100 when the movie is released, maybe 101 if it is after 28 June 2027. Believe it or not, that will not earn him the title of oldest director ever.

Mel Brooks began his career as a writer for Sid Caesar’s ‘Your Show of Show’ in 1950. It was on the show where he met Carl Reiner. Together they created the comedy sketch The 2000 Year Old Man.

Then in 1965 Brooks created the iconic TV series Get Smart with Buck Henry.

Brooks write the screenplay for The Producers in 1967.

After that came ‘Blazing Saddles’ (1974), ‘Young Frankenstein’ (1974), ‘Silent Movie’ (1976), ‘History of the World Part 1’ (1981), ‘Spaceballs’ (1987), ‘Robin Hood: Men in Tights’ (1993), ‘Dracula: Dead and Loving It’ (1995).

In 2004 he played himself in a season of ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’.
