What We Do in the Shadows remodeled a cult film into TV series magic, and now a number of the staff behind that’s going to strive for an additional win with Very Younger Frankenstein. We’ve identified for some time that the present, teased as a prequel to the 1974 Mel Brooks comedy starring Gene Wilder, was within the works. But it surely’s now official: the collection has been picked up by FX.
Deadline bought the news, writing that the FX and Hulu collection comes from WWDITS‘ Stefani Robinson, Taika Waititi, and Garret Basch; Brooks is aboard as an government producer. Robinson wrote the pilot, which was directed by Waititi and options Zach Galifianakis, Dolly Wells, Spencer Home, Nikki Crawford, Kumail Nanjiani, and Cary Elwes.
We don’t know but who these actors are enjoying, a lot much less if Very Younger Frankenstein will likely be a black-and-white manufacturing in homage to the movie (which was itself an homage to classic monster films). Nonetheless, it feels like there is likely to be some creative license taken with this new spin on the fabric, which looks like the proper technique, particularly contemplating how the adjustments made for WWDITS‘ shift to TV maximized hilarity with such nice success.
“Very Younger Frankenstein blends inspiration from the fan-favorite film with the creative, irreverent spirit that has outlined FX comedies over time, making this a totally authentic tackle the traditional story,” FX Leisure president Nick Grad stated in an announcement to Deadline. “Within the arms of FX veterans Stefani, Taika, and Garrett, alongside the long-lasting Mel Brooks, we all know that followers could have as a lot enjoyable watching this collection as we’re having making it.”
