Variety is reporting that famed Animal House director John Landis is planning to make a film about famed EC and Mad magazine publisher William Gaines:
Pic’s centered on an anti-establishment group of artists and writers, led by a reluctant Gaines and cohort Al Feldstein, as they produce their comicbooks. At the peak of his success, Gaines became a First Amendment figurehead due to his unapologetic testimony before a Senate subcommittee investigating juvenile delinquency.
