This is my new cover artwork for the upcoming Shout Factory Blu-Ray release of Mel Brooks 1968 comedy classic "The Producers": Zero Mostel as flamboyant Broadway producer Max Bialystock embracing/enticing meek accountant Gene Wilder as Leo Bloom. Mel Brooks had final approval on the art and I was told that when it was finally shown to him he announced: "I LOVE IT!" Oh happy day! The Producers has long been one of my favorite films, so this was really a thrill to work on.
Being released on July 2nd, The "combo pack" will include a Blu-Ray
and a DVD disc, as well as a "making of the Producers" documentary

Preordered, thanks! This is the 4th time I've purchased The PRODUCERS -- on VHS, Laserdisc, DVD and Blu-ray. I think the only other movies I've ever done that with are STRANGELOVE and The WIZARD of OZ. Great cover, too!
ReplyDeleteAny chance of The BANK DICK coming out on Blu-ray with your cover illustration, Drew?
ReplyDeleteNo plan Mike, as far as I know.
ReplyDeleteThis is all so excellent on so many levels. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Mel Brooks has first dibs on it, but what is the original illustration going for?
ReplyDeleteSorry, original art has already been sold.--DF
ReplyDeleteI must have watched The Producers 20+ times until one day I broke the DVD taking it out of the case. I never replaced it but kept meaning to. Now, I have a great excuse to repurchase it. The artwork is, as usual, excellent. Great likenesses of Mostel and Wilder. Thanks for the heads up, Drew!
ReplyDeleteLooks great but look at that price! How's a 26 year old ex-swimwear model going to afford that?
