MB : It's doubtful, but I'm writing myself back into the Spaceballs sequel that I'm now writing, so you haven't seen the last of my face. Why another Spaceballs? It wouldn't feel right have anyone else play Yoghurt and the first one was the best experience I've had making a movie since Blazing Saddles.

Playbill : When can we expect that?

MB : Best case scenario : a week before the new Star Wars opens. Worst Case Scenario : a year after the new star wars opens.

Yes! And it NEEDS to be called The Search for More Money.

 

[xsarien]

"The Search for More Money"

And I'll gladly give him some of mine.

 

[sprsk]

hell yes.

 

[somnific]

spaceballs II: the search for more money! excellent!!

 

[DMczaf]

I hope its better then his last movie he made, Dracula: Dead and Loving It.

 

[Coop]

I wonder what originals will return.. Rick Morranis doesnt do movies anymore right? I cant picture anybody else playing Dark Helmet.

 

[AniHawk]

FINALLY!

Best case scenario : a week before the new Star Wars opens.

That would be AWESOME.

 

[explodet]

Aww, so they're not making "Spaceballs 3 - the Search for Spaceballs 2"?

 

[Baconäger]

No Barf tho.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

I so... happy.

 

[tt_deeb]

Wow, this is some sweet news.

 

[Nester]

No Barf tho.

Oh yea..

 

[Dan]

I think it's pretty much guaranteed to be related to the prequel. I highly doubt it'll involve any characters from the first one except for Yogurt and maybe Dot Matrix.

I'll be pleased to see anything from him. I got to see The Producers twice with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, and suffice to say, Brooks still has it. He's really getting up there in age though, so if we see this project, it could very well be his last.

 

[Culex]

R.I.P John Kandy :-(

I know this is great news, but I'm STILL waiting for a DVD version of Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

 

[LinesInTheSand]

Can't wait

 

[clipunderground]

Holy shit! This would be fucking great!

 

[etiolate]

Awesome!

Indeed, where the hell is this?

Isn't that just a stage version of a movie he made 35 years ago? Not sure if it can really be considered evidence that he still "has it"

 

[LinesInTheSand]

Well... it's updated and stuff

 

[levious]

they should do a prequel. And then release a SE of the original Spaceballs (of course retitled Episode II).

 

[aparisi2274]

Actually it was supposed to be called:

Spaceballs 3: The search for Spaceballs 2.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Actually, in a recent interview Moranis revealed that he will be looking into acting again soon now that his kids are going to be going to college (single dad). He was quick to state his hate for hardcore "just follow the script" stuff, but said he enjoyed his time on the set of Spaceballs and working with Mel because he had a certain amount of freedom in the lines and what he could bring to the table.

 

[Ronabo]

So with the passing of John Candy, we probably won't see his character in the sequel.

But how 'bout his son Puke, or his newphew Spew?

 

[Dan]

It's a musical. Suffice to say, the dialogue is pretty much entirely new. And it's funny. Very, very funny. Outside of the general plotline and character list, they're very different.

He's still got the goods in him. Period.

 

[FoneBone]

Spaceballs wasn't that good....

*runs*

 

[MrCheez]

Rock!!

 

[DarienA]

Actually it was supposed to be called:

Spaceballs 3: The search for Spaceballs 2.

That would SO rock...

 

[Lonestar]

<--

:O !!!

 

[The Bookerman]

*hopes for total destruction of Jar Jar character.

 

[Mashing]

My day has been going terrible until I read this...

*does happy dance*

In the DVD commentary (which was originally laserdisc commentary by the things said in it) it mentions that scenes like the one where Dark Helmet is playing with his dolls were basically left to Moranis to work out, after giving him the basic concept. And work it out he did.

 

[Hournda]

Finally, some decent Star Wars related news.

 

[aparisi2274]

That would SO rock...

I will always remember his interview on the tonight show in 86 when the movie came out and Carson asked if he was making a sequel and he said "yeah its gonna be called Spaceballs 3: the search for spaceballs 2."

Dont know if he was kidding, I am sure he was, but it would be cool.

 

[solarplexus]

Yes! Spaceballs is one of my favorite movies.

 

[Silkworm]

If this happens, I wonder if there will ever be a "History of the World, Part 2". Come on Mel! Make it happen!

 

[Hournda]

Actually you could argue that Spaceballs really is "History of the World, Part 2." One of the things that was supposed to be in History of the World, Part 2 was "Jews in Space" which is a pretty good way to describe Spaceballs.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Do not need John Candy... it is a parody of the PREQUELS.

 

[Silkworm]

Hournda:

I suppose that's true, but didn't they say Part 2 would also have "Hitler on Ice"? That wasn't in Spaceballs ;-)

 

[=W=]

I miss good Rick Moranis movies. The last one I really liked was My Blue Heaven in 1990

 

[DJ_Tet]

Do not need John Candy... it is a parody of the PREQUELS.

Doesn't mean we don't need John Candy RIP big guy


This news is fantastic. Brooks will never, nor will anyone else, top the duo of Blazing Saddles/Young Frankenstein in the same year, but we can't let Brooks go without another comedy on celluloid.

"Funny, she doesn't look Druish..."

This news rocks!

 

[MASB]

This is great news. I hope Bill Pullman appears in some form (role or cameo).

 

[WasabiKing]

I'd rather see History of the World Part II, but I guess I'll settle...

 

[capslock]

If their intention is to get someone to laugh at a movie based on the Star Wars universe then Lucas is about 2 movies ahead of them.

 

[Hournda]

Haha, one of the characters in the movie will be Jew Jew who is a nothing but an annoying Jewish stereotype and tells lame Jewish jokes.

 

[Dujour]

I saw Space Balls way before I saw any Star Wars movie begining-to-end.

You shot my hair! >:O John Candy.

 

[Schmo Florez]

Finally, some decent Star Wars related news.

YES!

Oh and there's no such thing as an opinion on SPACEBALLS. It is a FACT that it is funny as fuck!

The Jew Jew character sounds hilarious all ready.

 

[Jim Bowie]

SAY IT AIN'T SO!

I absolutely loved Spaceballs. It won't be as good, I already know it
