Of course, John Candy and Joan Rivers are dead. And Rick Moranis is retired. so it's probably not going to happen. *sigh*

 

[Dicer]

Aside from the missing people, Mel Brooks comedy isn't accepted in this day and age. it wouldn't be the same...

 

[Deleted member 80556]

This would definitely fit in my "does not need a sequel" category for films.

 

[Deepo]

He should do a prequel.

 

[Team Alucard]

The search for more money

 

[Mailbox]

He should do a prequel.

Let it be bad on purpose and be a statement in the state of the Star Wars prequels....


Or you know, don't touch a classic.

 

[tapedeck]

No. Just let it stay the perfect moment in time movie that it was.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

He should make a new movie. Mel Brooks rules.

 

[Dougald]

Hasn't he been saying this for years? As much as I'd love it, I think this ship has sailed

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

Blazing saddles sequel with same language and tone. Set Twitter on fire.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I don't think he has it in him to make a proper parody of current big budget/sci fi movies. I think a sequel to Galaxy Quest could probably do a better job.

 

[Bo Knows GAF]

I'd rather see another "History of the World."

 

[Snaku]

Goes without saying that Yogurt would now be complete CGI, blackflipping all over the place slinging Spaceballs merch.

 

[lunchtoast]

I dunno, there was that Spaceballs cartoon and it was really bad.

 

[CalamityPixel]

"Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2!"

 

[davepoobond]

Still waiting for history of the world part 2.

 

[Revolutionary]

Please don't.

-shudders at the memory of the cartoon

 

[eXistor]

I remember him saying this years and years ago.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

I don't think he should. SpaceBalls is a classic as it is.

 

[lazygecko]

I had no idea there even was a Spaceballs cartoon.

 

[Acorn]

He should make a new movie. Mel Brooks rules.

This so much.

I don't care what it's about. Get Gene Wilder too.

 

[Patapwn]

No no, not a sequel, a reboot

You're welcome hollywood

Spoiler

(and sorry fans of spaceballs)

 

[teruterubozu]

I'd rather see another "History of the World."

He still owes us part II with Hitler on Ice.

 

[hom3land]

Just combine history of the world part 2 and spaceballs 2. I want my Jews in spaces!

 

[NotLiquid]

Spaceballs was perfect as is, as much as I wanted to have one way back when I first saw the movie.

On the topic of parody movies teasing sequels we never got, where the hell is my Kung Pow 2, Oedekerk?

 

[CTLance]

"Not again!"

 

[Delta Assault]

Spaceballs was genius. But what would a sequel be about? Making fun of the prequels? We're kinda past that now.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Really? The broadway adaptions of his movies always tend to be darlings at the box office and awards.

I've accepted it as fact that Kung Pow 2 is never happening

 

[Data West]

I had no idea Mel Brooks was still alive. That's great!

 

[statham]

Melissa McCarthy in the John Candy role. Kristen Wiig as Joan Rivers.

 

[Oblivion]

Would prefer a sequel to Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

But either way, I fear Mel may be showing his age by this point.

 

[markot]

Of his old movies. Not of 'Dracula: Dead and loving it'

 

[Konka]

Dudes 88, he's allowed to show his age!

 

[DieH@rd]

Sure, why not. I would watch it gladly.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

He could make it about what the stunt doubles were doing up until they got captured.

 

[Currygan]

it's been so many years he said it he probably forgot and thought he had a new idea

 

[Lunar15]

If he did it about the prequels, or loosely based it on them, I'd be interested.

His stuff's still good.

 

[lazygecko]

I always get his inquisition song stuck in my head whenver people mention the new Dragon Age.

 

[Daniel Jackson]

Spaceball is overrated anyway.
I like the parody to that other great Star-franchise a lot better. Galaxy Quest.

 

[megamerican]

I would only be interested just to see Moranis out of retirement. IMO Space Balls has been his film that's aged the worst.

 

[markot]

I agree. I can barely watch space balls.

Blazing Saddles > Young Frankenstein > The Producers.

 

[Frozenprince]

They wanted to do Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2 in the early 90's. But they could never get it off the ground.

It just wouldn't be the same now.

 

[Ferrio]

I read Moranis would be up for ghostbusters if the script was good enough, maybe the same with spaceballs?

 

[JC Lately]

And I want to win the Powerball this week. That aint happening either.

It's nice to want things.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Initial reaction:

Time to think reaction: Given the prequel episodes 1-3 imagine all the material this guy has to work with. Our revenge on Jar Jar could nearly be complete.

 

[Plinko]

He says he won't do it without Moranis.

Moranis is never coming out of retirement.

This isn't happening.

 

[markot]

I read Moranis would be up for ghostbusters if the script was good enough, maybe the same with spaceballs?

Saying 'if the script was good enough' in todays hollywood essentially means he would never have to worry about working again.

 

[Flappy]

Spaceballs 2: We Still Aint Found Shit

 

[gatti-man]

If Rick Moranis came back Id sell my house and kickstart it myself.
