Surely You Can’t Be Serious: The True Story of Airplane! by David Zucker is now available for free ePub download or online reading.<\/p>\n
Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n Surely You Can’t Be Serious is an in-depth and hysterical look at the making of 1980’s comedy classic Airplane! by the legendary writers and directors of the hit film.<\/p>\n Airplane! premiered on July 2nd, 1980. With a budget of $3.5 million it went on to make nearly $200 million in sales and has influenced a multitude of comedians on both sides of the camera.<\/p>\n Surely You Can\u2019t Be Serious is the first-ever oral history of the making of Airplane! by the creators, and of the beginnings of the ZAZ trio (Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker) \u2013 charting the rise of their comedy troupe Kentucky Fried Theater in Madison, Wisconsin all the way to premiere night. The directors explain what drew them to filmmaking and in particular, comedy. With anecdotes, behind the scenes trivia, and never-before-revealed factoids \u2013 these titans of comedy filmmaking unpack everything from how they persuaded Peter Graves to be in the movie after he thought the script was a piece of garbage, how Lorna Patterson auditioned for the stewardess role in the back seat of Jerry\u2019s Volvo, and how Leslie Nielsen\u2019s pranks got the entire crew into trouble, to who really wrote the jive talk. The book also features testimonials and personal anecdotes from well-known faces in the film, television, and comedy sphere \u2013 proving how influential Airplane! has been from day one.<\/p>\n Four decades after its release, Airplane! continues to make new generations laugh. Its many one-liners and visual gags have worked their way into the mainstream culture. This fully organic expansion of the ZAZ trio\u2019s fan-base, prompted solely by word-of-mouth, comes as no surprise to longtime fans. When all around us is in flux \u2013 laughter is priceless..
