'The Producers - The Movie Musical'

Mel Brooks' Broadway Smash on the Big Screen

From Mike Durrett, for About.com

The long-awaited film of Mel Brooks' acclaimed Broadway version of Mel Brooks' classic comedy movie, "The Producers."

Nathan Lane (Max Bialystock) and Matthew Broderick (Leo Bloom) reprise their roles from the play, along with Gary Beach and Roger Bart as the odd couple, Roger DeBris and Carmen Ghia. They're joined by Uma Thurman and Will Ferrell as the stunning Ulla and Nazi Franz Liebkind, all in step to mount a flop production of "Springtime for Hitler."

Universal Pictures' official "The Producers" movie site celebrates the transformation of the impressive source material to the big screen by its Broadway director, Susan Stroman. A first time film director, she strived to use Hollywood's supreme movie comedy, "Singin' in the Rain," as her cinematic template.

See the movie trailer, TV spots, and scene clips, plus a photo gallery and the posters and reviews for Max's earlier stage productions. Desktop wallpapers, screen saver, production notes, and a story synopsis. To enhance your visit, soundtrack recordings from "The Producers" songbook are audible, too.

Go: "The Producers"

Sony Pictures' UK "The Producers" site is downsized with a coming attractions preview and little else.
