Why is Mel remaking all his classics?

I guess it's true that you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

These are going to be absolutely terrible. Why do this to your legacy right before you die? Maybe his kids put him up to it.

Not a remake but rather a prequel, I believe?

The monster was literally dug up from the grave in Young Frankenstein. Are we getting Dr. Frankenstein as a youth without the monster? I'm confused.

The original is perfect. Not sure why he'd want to do a remake. But I could say the same about The Producers, and I loved the remake. That's probably Mel's last great movie that he put out.

ETA: Never mind - I see that it's a series / prequel

He was the grandson of the original monster-creator, so I assume it will be set then, with his grandfather and the first monster.

The entire cast for that movie was great.

And If he is making more prequels, sequels or remakes, I hope to God he doesnt remake or whatever for Blazing Saddles
