Movie Writing
When Mel was offered the new project by the talent agent, it couldn’t have come at a better time. At that time he was looking for his next big break, and so immediately jumped at the opportunity. Mel had just one condition for the talent agent. He wanted to write the movie himself with a small team of writers. David agreed and Brooks took the project as his own, added his own spin and made it into the blockbuster that we all know and love.
The Birth Of Max Books
While Brooks was busy producing Blazing Saddles, another reason why he was so intent on making the movie a success was because his wife was pregnant. Well while the filming was underway, his wife actually gave birth to his son, which they called Max. Now Max is grown up himself and clearly inherited some of his fathers’ talented writing genes. He later became a successful author of the best-selling novel, World War Z.
