There are many many many unhappy ticketholders for the London production right now, I can tell you that.

It's unfortunate. I hope that this doesn't cause problems for the start date of the film production...

Apparently it doesn't, they're still scheduled to start filming on Feb 10th. But we'll see.

I'm thrilled Nathan has chosen to take care of HIMSELF and health over the needs of Mel Brooks.

And if his back is not healed in time, screw the film. Let them wait. Or not even MAKE the damn thing.

Master

I wasn't suggesting any sort of rush to make the film. Nathan SHOULD do whatever he needs to heal (although one never truly heals completely from back injuries) before they roll cameras...

He slipped a disc, he's not having a heart bypass. Jesus Christ.

And 22,000 people are dead in the East. Nathan will survive, and so will Max Bialystock and the London audiences.

I think he's replacing Idina!
