You couldn't make Blazing Saddles today because Westerns aren't nearly as popular as they once were, and so it'll be harder for jokes to land
Also Gene Wilder hasn't done anything for 8 years
Dude...too soon.
Mel Brooks did an animated movie called the Legend of Hank that was more or less a kid friendly remake of Blazing Saddled to prove he could make it today.
...how kid friendly? Haven't been able to introduce my kids to his stuff yet!
It's definitely nowhere near a PG-13
It's basically just Blazing Saddles, only it's about a village of cats in an Eastern Setting who are protected by a Samurai, guy wants an excuse to destroy the town, realizes that if the town kills an official Samurai he can destroy the town... So he pulls a sneaky and hires a naive dog with a desire to become a samurai to be one in a world where cats are racist against dogs.
It backfires when the dog is good at his job enough to dissuade the bigots
What in the wide, wide world of sports is that supposed to mean?
Period Westerns aren't much popular. However:
...and so on.
