Al was at last night's screening of TOP SECRET! at The Silent Movie Theater in Los Angeles, introducing the film. Before and after he was interviewed by comedian Scott Auckerman, and they mostly talked about TOP SECRET! and how the ZAZ movies shaped his brand of comedy. (Before the feature, they showed the educational short from AL'S BRAIN, Al's appearance on Circus of the Stars, and the CNR video, which was cool seeing with an audience.)
Anyway, at one point it came up that Al hadn't written or directed a movie since UHF, and Auckerman asked if he had anything in the works. Al hesitated a bit, but eventually said he would break some news that "he hadn't even tweeted yet": that he has a production deal with an "entity", and is currently beginning work on a new screenplay for a made-for-TV movie that he will also direct!
No other beans were spilled, other than we can look forward to seeing this film sometime in 2010 (hopefully along with Album #13!)
Anyone care to guess at what the movie will be? Or what "entity" he has a deal with? I wonder when we'll hear something official, if he already has the deal...? In any case, great news!!!
