Shout Factory has revealed that it is planning to release a Collector's Edition of Mel Brooks'
The Producers (1968), starring Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, and Dick Shawn. Exact technical specs and supplemental features to be included on this upcoming release are unknown at the moment, but the preliminary release date set by the studio is July 2.
From the endlessly funny mind of filmmaker Mel Brooks comes this triple-Oscar-winning explosion of pure comic lunacy about low-rent Broadway producer Max Bialystock (Mostel) and his high-strung accountant Leo Bloom (Wilder). They discover that, with the help of a few gullible investors, they can make more money on a flop than on a hit. So armed with the worst show ever written -
Springtime For Hitler - and an equally horrific cast, this double-dealing duo is banking on disaster. But when their sure-to-offend musical becomes a surprise smash hit, they find themselves in the middle of a Broadway blitzkrieg.
