‘Spaceballs’ sequel is HAPPENING!

Another remake. Whoopie.

It’s a SEQUEL. Not a remake.

Whether it's a sequel or a remake - the original is 37 years old. Well over a generation ago - almost 2 generations, depending on how you measure generations.

Dragging Spaceballs out of mothballs now ls the equivalent of making a sequel to a 1950 movie in 1987.

R3 which they’ve done. However, it’s a sequel. Not a remake. Regardless

They tried to make Josh Gad happen a few years ago. It didn't happen.

I think he works more behind the scenes than in front of the camera.

It's my (millennial) son's favorite movie and I love it too. I am really excited about this. Is Mel Brooks still alive?

Interesting. The first one was unwatchable and a box offfice bomb.

It didn’t bomb. It underperformed in theaters but was a massive hit on VHS. This is what young people like you fail to realize, things were different back then. You shouldn’t put your nose where it doesn’t belong.

Back then a movie could flop in theaters and then make hundreds of millions via VHS rentals and sales. Digital has killed that extra revenue for filmmakers and studios, and part of why it’s harder for them to make money now.

A couple of years ago Mel did a Netflix series "Illusory of the World, Part II" and it stunk. Not a laugh to be had in the entire series.

He doesn't have it anymore.

Christ, they're both hard to look at in 2024.

Spaceballs was a parody of the original Star Wars.

We already have three sequels to Spaceballs.

They're called The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker.

R9 For example, SHOWGIRLS (1995) was a massive flop in theaters but was a huge bestseller when it was released on VHS several months later.

i wonder why it never got revised, after a fipm flopped in theatres l but thrived in rentals, in the mwdias eyes it was still seen as a flop forever more.

Josh? Gad!

Josh Gad? wtf.

Anyone who’s seen the Spaceballs cartoon series knows this will end in tears.

At last!

No thanks. This will be an inferior attempt at recapturing the original's magic and failing miserably.

What it may lack of the original's magic I'm certain it will more than make up in vulgarity and wokeness.

Is he going to play Barf?

Oh, thank God!

[quote]Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis are set to reprise their respective roles as Lone Starr and Dark Helmet in the new Spaceballs movie from Amazon MGM Studios, with Keke Palmer joining the cast.

The newfound popularity of this film the last 20 years came as a real shock to me. I saw it in the movie theaters when it was released and I didn't love it.

I recently re-watched it and it's fine - I just don't get the fandom. But I'm a lot older obviously.

Feels like a stoner teenage/college movie that got legs and just continued.

I'm fine with a sequel - God knows they've put out much worse shit.

The Family Guy Star Wars parodies were better. Hell, Robot Chicken did better.

Apparently busy Daphne Zuniga has agreed to reprise her role as Princess whoever. You know she was probably yelling through the gates of Mel Brooks' home at 5:30 in the morning - "I'm AVAILABLE - I'll DO IT MEL!!"

I saw the trailer for this - it said coming in 2027!!! I hope Mel can hold on until then. He's 98 already! Although he looked GREAT in the trailer.
