Which strategies has Mel Brooks used to survive, adapt and thrive
in the cultural industries? How has he gained his reputation as a
multimedia survivor? Alex Symons takes a unique, artist-focused
approach in order to systematically identify the range of Brooks's
adaptation strategies across the Hollywood film, Broadway theatre
and American television industries. By combining a cultural
industries approach together with that of adaptation studies, this
book also identifies an important new industrial practice employed
by Brooks - defined here as 'prolonged adaptation'. More
significantly, Symons also employs this method to explain the so
far neglected way that Brooks's adaptations have contributed
towards changing production trends, changes in critical attitudes,
and towards the ongoing integration of the cultural industries
today. An essential read for film students and scholars researching
adaptation, this refreshing new approach will also be valued by
everyone studying the cultural industries.
