http://consequenceofsound.net/2 With a new Star Wars trilogy in the works, comedian and filmmaker Mel Brooks says he’s actively working on a sequel to his iconic spoofing Spaceballs, which would begin filming after the December 2015 release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. During a recent appearance on Adam Carolla’s Take a Knee podcast, Brooks confirmed his desire to make the film, which would be entitled Spaceballs: Search For More Money. He said his intention is to bring back as many as the film’s original cast members as possible, including Rick Moranis, who has all but retired from acting in recent years. In a 2014 interview with Parade, Brooks mentioned that screenwriter Tom Meehan had “some great ideas” for a sequel. However, Moranis’ participation (or lack thereof) has proved the biggest obstacle. “Without Rick, I wouldn’t do it,” Brooks explained. “I’ve got the helmet in storage, just waiting for him.” He added that he’s spoken with Moranis a few times over the years, but he’s “really strict” about remaining retired. 015/02/mel-brooks-says-a-spaceballs-sequel-is-in-the-works/
Not sure.. I thought Farley passed on too. I was thinking of the new guy on SNL that kinda looks like Belushi.
Sadly many of the originals are dead.... Dom Deluise (Pizza the Hut) Joan Rivers (Dot Matrix) John Candy I'm pretty sure Dick Van Patten is dead as are the careers of Michael Winslow and Daphne Zuniga I respect Moranis as well, guy hasn't done anything in years. For those that don't know he retired after his wife passed away and she was his inspiration and he lost it so he retired. It's a shame because he was so good in other movies like My Blue Heaven, Parenthood, Little team that shares a stadium with the Jets, Honey I Shrunk the Kids and one of my favorites Strange Brew.
Seriously!? If they do it, and actually call it "Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money." I'm going to lose my shit.
Spaceballs the FLAME THROWER!! That movie has more 1 liners than any other movie I've ever seen. It wouldn't be anywhere near the original, but would be great no matter what imo. It's just been so long, that it would be hard to do. I mean I was a year away from being born when that movie was made. So they would need pretty much a whole new cast, unless they made it an all new, original movie.
Not my favourite Mel Brooks offering by a long stretch, but I'm hoping they do this. Wouldn't be the same without Moranis, but the others can be worked around.
