In addition to touring the studio lot, where much of the movie was filmed, Brooks is expected reminisce about his friend and collaborator Wilder, who died last Sunday from complications from Alzheimer’s disease.

“Young Frankenstein” is one of Wilder’s most fondly remembered films. The announcement comes on the heels of AMC Theaters bringing other Wilder favorites “Blazing Saddles” and “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” back to theaters this past weekend.
