However, production on the film never began and according to the production company behind the picture, the film is “no longer in development.”DeLuise became a household name in the ‘80s with his comedic commercials for Ziploc bags.DeLuise leaves behind a wife – actress Carol Arthur – and three sons, all of whom followed in their father’s Hollywood footsteps.
