Any fans of Spaceballs out there?

I found this article, thanks to people at IGN, that just made me go for a loop! I am a tremendous fan of the first Spaceballs and I know any other fans out there would enjoy this prospect.

 

Spaceballs II: Jar-Jar Strikes Back

The Winnebago may fly again...

 

September 30, 2004 - The Schwartz is still with comedic filmmaker Mel Brooks, who is reportedly considering a sequel to his hit Star Wars parody, Spaceballs. Brooks told Playbill magazine that he was currently writing a screenplay for a Spaceballs II.

 

"Why another Spaceballs? ...the first one was the best experience I've had making a movie since Blazing Saddles," said Brooks, whose more recent parody films include Robin Hood: Men in Tights and Dracula: Dead and Loving It.

 

The original Spaceballs, which came out in 1987, starred Canadian comedian Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet, Bill Pullman as the Han Solo-type Lone Starr, the late John Candy as Barf the Mawg, and Brooks himself as both President Skroob and Yogurt. Brooks intends to play Yogurt in the new film; perhaps it will be a prequel to the original Spaceballs.

 

Brooks intends to capitalize on the release of Lucas's third Star Wars prequel by getting his parody out at about the same time – a deadline that could be tough to make. "Best-case scenario: [spaceballs II opens] a week before the new Star Wars opens. Worst-case scenario: a year after the new Star Wars opens."

 

The title is not set in stone either. Brooks has mentioned in the past that he'd like make a sequel called Spaceballs III: The Search for Spaceballs II. One pithy fan suggested the new movie be called "Spaceballs I", and the original one renamed Spaceballs It-Was-Always-Episode-IV. We'll let you know what Brooks decides on.

So exciting! I hope Brooks shows Lucas how's it's really done. :P

Yes! I love Spaceballs, even better than the original Star Wars trilogy--maybe it helps that I saw Spaceballs after Episode IV, and then saw the other two movies in the trilogy. :P

 

Spaceballs will now continue with its motto. WE BRAKE FOR NOBODY . . .

 

 

 

 

 

. . . NOT EVEN MICROSOFT. :D

I'm worried that it won't be as good as the original.

I'm predicting some rather creative academies when it does come out.

Oh, been there, done that. ;)

 

I still remember that Academy when our IDF's failed... the ship stopped, I flew forward, head first, into the helm station.

 

Smoke 'em if you got 'em. :)

Oooh, yes, some Spaceball-like Academies would definitely be something I'd love. Muwahahahahaha! ;)

I've actually seen the same thing done in an Advanced sim once.
