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.
Damn. Mel brooks is looking spry for 99.
I genuinely thought he had passed several years ago, I had a real Mandela-Effect moment when I saw this trailer, I thought at first “There’s no way this will be funny without Mel leading it.” Then he appeared and seemed old but energetic and thought “there is no WAY they used AI to resurrect him, this is horrible!”
It took a few minutes for me to figure out what reality I was in and I still have my doubts about Spaceballs sequel, not because I don’t think it will be funny, but because the general population who discusses things and overanalyzes things get the loudest voice and review bomb movies that are supposed to be just fun and not a pointed social statement.
Dick Van Dyke is also still around and doing projects heading towards 100.
If keeping busy is keeping them around I look forward to each of their 150th birthday parties.
Definite proof that it’s good to be the king!
Other than what’s it’s parodying I’ll never understand the love for Spaceballs. Terrible movie in my opinion.
Yeah, well, you know, that’s just like, uhhhh, your opinion, man.
You might be a tad on the young side. These kinds of movies were a product of their time and likely wouldn’t hold up for people who grew up in the age of Tiktok, Vine, youtube shorts, etc.
I wish that were the case.
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!)
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.
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!!!
I didn’t think we have the technology to bring him back
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.)
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.
Gonna miss him as Barf. RIP
My wife says dogs don’t live that long so they can spin it that way 🙂↕️.
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.
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.
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…right? Though, due to all the previous reboots/sequels/rehashing of previous IP, it probably won’t be :(
I have a feeling it will be a disappointment. Not because the quality of the movie will have changed, but because all of us have changed.
We asked what the fans want. Instead, we’re making this movie.
nice
Classic Mel.
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
Has to be!
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.
Didn’t they do History of the World Part 2? That was a trainwreck.
that was hulu.
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.
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.
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.
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.
well that’s not something they can really do with a single movie like Spaceballs 2.
Masbe that was the core of the issue.

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.
Hey at least Mel Brooks won’t have to wear makeup to play Yogurt. Dude is 98.
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!
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.
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.
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.
I like the scroll mentioning all these sequels and spinoffs but then says there was only one Spaceballs this whole time…
I guess even Brooks himself has tried to forget the short-lived animated Spaceballs series.
Please let this be true
So, Jack Black as Barf?
Don’t put that out into the world. We have enough horrors as it is.
i expect Josh Gad as son of Barf
That would work too. Lots of great potential choices.
Oh god, no!
