The future's so bright, I've gotta wear... shades.
RIP Willy Wonka
Gene Wilder apparently has passed.
He was 83.

He was married to Gilda Radnor, no? Perhaps the next world just became a much funnier place.

Today I learned Young Frankenstein was not a Mel Brooks film, but was actually a Gene Wilder film based on a two page rewrite he did after watching Frankenstein on TV and deciding it needed a happier ending.
Wilder's agent called him a short time later and said he wanted to put together a picture starring Wilder, Marty Friedman, and Peter Boyle. Wilder asked his agent why he'd thought a vehicle starring those three would be a good idea, and his agent reportedly said, "Because as of today, I'm now yours, Marty's, and Peter's agent."
Mel Brooks only signed on because the studio offered him $250k to direct.
