Scary!

Movie studios in HTG Hollywood must employ a number of functions in order to be successful. Sometimes things don't work out as originally planned. But sometimes it is possible for those new plans to turn out well. Miracle Pictures recently discovered this during its production of the upcoming film Thanks, Dad.

In the father/daughter relationship comedy, Marlowe himself stars as Charlie Spooner, who has the habit of annoying his daughter Moira, played by HTG newcomer Bailee Madison. In the original script, Marlowe had written in the wife, Catherine. To play the role, former Spice Girl and current America's Got Talent judge Mel Brown was cast.

"Marlowe as terribly excited," stated a representative from the studio. "He had always wanted to work with Mel B. This would have been her first HTG job. But, for some reason, there was a mix-up."

When work began, it wasn't Mel Brown who showed. It was the legendary Mel Brooks. For a yet unknown reason, the 90-year-old was given the call.

"Although Marlowe was disappointed to not be meeting Mel Brown that day, he was tickled to see Mel Brooks. He was so happy, in fact, that he made Mr. Brooks the film's director. I guess some things just work out that way."

Also featured in the film are Nolan Gould and producer Lucian. Thanks, Dad opens on July 8.
