Cartoon went largely unnoticed, missing the subtitle (so far) “the search for more money” and if they hit that release year Mr Brooks will be over 100 years old.
He also fought in WW2.
So, Jack Black as Barf?

That would work too. Lots of great potential choices.
No way
Oh god, no!
History of the World Part II was honestly fucking great. It also had very little to do with Mel Brooks. It had brilliant comedians at the helm writing and steering everything: Ike Barinholtz, Nick Kroll, and Wanda Sykes. A goddamn DREAM TEAM, and they pulled it off regardless of the reviews.
This outing had better heavy hitters really leaning hard into the comedy. I’ve heard good things about The Naked Gun remake which is a lot of people in this same arena, plus Seth Macfarlane. That’s quite a big team.
Please don’t ruin this great movie with a sub-par sequel.
Rick Moranis, I’m speaking directly to you because I know in my heart you are using Lemmy.
You better fucking show up.
Rick Moranis, I’m speaking directly to you because I know in my heart you are using Lemmy.
hi it’s me rick thank you for continuing to believe in me it’s children like you that keep the christmas magic alive
The REAL Rick Moranis wouldn’t have horrible grammar and punctuation. He’s Canadian.
Get outta heeeeeeere ✊
If Rick Moranis isn’t in this one, then it’s going to flop.
From what I remember, he left acting in the 90s to raise his children, but I’m pretty sure all your kids have grown up and moved out by now, Rick. Don’t let us down.
They’re grown up, but its possible they might be shrunk down.
Name one reboot, rehash, sequel, etc in the last twenty years that have included a star from the original movie as an attraction to make it cool that wasn’t shite.
He’s already signed on, along with Bill Pullman
What about Michael Winslow?
It seems like he’s expected to return as well.
My kids will never understand why I’m excited about this, but I am
you just made my fucking day. thank you
Well, this is certainly not something I expected to see today. Not sure how I feel about it. Amazon has a great history of ruining things they touch.
side-eyes Invincible
…almost everything
Fallout and The Boys are also very good. Also continued The Expanse well.
The Boys was great. For about 1.5 seasons and then became an expensive, repetitive, gratuitous mess that made no effort to keep changing the formula. I actually convinced myself it was okay enough to get through the whole series then looked back and thought “I can’t remember a single significant plot development that led to anything real beyond the first season.”

They almost ruined that series with the budgeting/ animation. They saved it with the finale. I’m not going to hop the animation hate train, though. It definitely came down to budget/ time constraints.
What do you mean? Invincible handled the animation perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhndpv7sEqE
I’ll take rough animation over that cgi trying to look like animation crap that never looks good.
I think they do a good job of choosing when to turn the heat up on that budget and when to dial it back.
I don’t think they had that as well dialed in during Season 2, but I couldn’t complain much about the Conquest fight. It could be miles and miles better, sure.
Curious what you consider they’ve ruined? I’ve liked a lot of the stuff they’ve put out compared to other services.
And MGM is no slouch.
Lord of The Rings
That is a very fair answer, if not them someone else unfortunately though. It was doomed to get more content eventually.
The Expanse
While I wouldn’t say they’ve “ruined it” it felt like a significant drop in quality the moment Amazon took over.
Except Alcon was still making it and the budget didn’t change. Season 6 got cut down to 6 episodes due to Amazon, though.
That and the whole there being three other books worth of material that the series just noped the fuck out of because amazon didn’t want to keep making the series. They did the same thing with The Wheel of Time.
Actor contracts etc the longer a show goes on($$), and the time lapse between book 6 and 7. Still would be more than amazing to see on screen. And if one has seen the show and not read the books I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Masbe that was the core of the issue.
There’s a 30 year gap in between the last episode and when the story starts again. That’s a perfect place to end the show, and then pick it back up down the road.
well that’s not something they can really do with a single movie like Spaceballs 2.
Uh one of the main actors got in shit for sexual abuse, that ended any chance of having future episodes.
Amazon wouldn’t have left that cash cow behind, but there wasn’t going forward with that actor, or even rewriting them.
You can see how they went back and changed the end of the season already filmed scenes to rewrite the cancelation story in.
There was also a massive time shift coming up, it just wouldn’t work.
Didn’t they do History of the World Part 2? That was a trainwreck.
that was hulu.
It better be “The Search for More Money”
I was honestly disappointed we didn’t get Spaceballs: The Sequel
Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money
hahhaha! YES!
if Brooks is making it, sure.
Hey at least Mel Brooks won’t have to wear makeup to play Yogurt. Dude is 98.
Ya heard of me?
Who hasn’t heard of…(Stop now before I type out the script).
He was hilarious, but I hope he knows he probably can’t do it quite the same and maybe get replaced by the novice, homogenized milk. I really got no idea what fat content of milk is used for yogurt but think you get the idea. He could even be quite fabulous.
He’s 99 end of this month 😲.
I just want him around long enough to see this made, and to get his parts in for Yogurt.
I’m hoping his soul refuses to rest until The Search for More Money is completed!
I keep thinking, will he even make it to the release? 2027 is a long way away for someone that’s 99. It’s also crazy to think that he was still in his 60’s when the first was made.
A reboot of a beloved 1980s classic?
What are the odds it’s going to be any good?
Low
Stranger things have happened.
There was a rumor many, many years ago of Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2
well now they won’t have to make that one i guess.
Damn, they’re finally making ‘The Search for More Money.’ Too bad Disney kind of beat him to it.
I hope Bill Pullman’s son is in this too as Lonestar’s son. And his name is Bob.
We asked what the fans want. Instead, we’re making this movie.
nice
Classic Mel.
HOLY SHIT, RICK MORANIS IS COMING BACK!
(And a bunch of other original cast members too, which is also very cool, but Rick Moranis basically quit acting to be a stay-at-home dad three decades ago and this is the project significant enough to lure him back. It’s gotta be a pretty good script if it’s capable of that!)
WOW! After his wife died and he took a step back from acting - perhaps not shrinking his kids in the mean time - it has to be good if he’s in it! (Though, due to all the previous reboots/sequels/rehashing of previous IP), it probably won’t be :(
He’s been trying to get back into acting for a while now. This is a great movie for fans to get to see him in.
I would love it if he and Dave Thomas reunited for more Great White North. They could be old dudes with Gen Z grandkids.
There’s an interview that he did recently floating around YouTube. He seems like he’s ready to be back.
I was wondering if he was coming back. Really the most important character
It would also be impossible to replace him. I’d say that imo it was his most iconic role.
Also the movie’s most iconic character.
What about John Candy though!!!
Gonna miss him as Barf. RIP
My wife says dogs don’t live that long so they can spin it that way 🙂↕️.
God damn it, man. Sobs
I know right. If they don’t find a way to honor him I will be very disappointed. Better be big goddamn statue of him in that movie.
I’m worried he just got into the chocolate on the ship. I hope they got a really nice shoebox and a lovely plot in the yard for him. He was his own best friend after all.
My wife brought that up about chocolate. I prefer the age thing myself, seems more dignified to me.
I think John Candy would have found it funnier to not be dignified. But he’d also likely just be honored anyways to be included.
True, can’t wait to see how this turns out. Rick Morrison making his comeback with this movie is the greatest news I’ve heard in a long time.
I didn’t think we have the technology to bring him back
We kinda do have it, but it would be wrong to do so. As much has I love to see John Candy in a new movie it just wouldn’t be him.
But they will do this with some dead celebrity for sure mark my word. Hell they done it before with shitter technology. Just look up the John Wayne Budweswire commercial from the 90’s if you want an example.
We sort of do but it will be a nightmare abomination of stitched together dead things.
(I’m talking about AI, not actual frankenstein tech, John probably would have been cool with that way of coming back.)
