In the beginning, there was nothing. Then, Harold Ramis had an idea. “I was thinking about two things in comedy that I love,” says the writer-director-producer. “One was Mel Brooks’ Two-Thousand-Year-Old Man, and the other was an improvisation I staged 35 years ago with John Belushi and Bill Murray. Bill played a Cro-Magnon man with a completely hip and contemporary vibe, and John played a Neanderthal Man as an idiot. For this movie, I had those inspirations in mind when I thought it would be really interesting to put someone with a contemporary consciousness in an ancient setting.”
