Mel Brooks doesn't sound like a man in his twilight years.
The comic genius who ushered in a whole new level of cinematic crudity with such classics as "Young Frankenstein" and "The Producers" may be 86 years old, but he isn't interested in retiring.
When he's not busy picking up honors, such as the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award, which he will accept this June, he's toying with turning another one of his films into a Broadway play, as he has done to multiple Tonys and big box office in the past. He may even try his hand at directing a slasher film, for a dramatic change of pace.
