With all the old people in it no longer available, it makes me wonder how they can top it? Sequels never seem as good as the original.

„God willing, we will all meet again in Spaceballs 2 - De Soich for more money.“
- Yogurt, Spaceballs
(I wonder, why haven’t they worked on a sequel twenty years ago? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️)
Probably need the money.
I'd heard rumors of Spaceballs 2 since at least 2016.

"May the Schwartz be with you" my friend & as for Spaceballs II it looks like it’s going to make a comeback in 2027. As for the movie hopefully it’s wonder & although it’s not going to be the same without John Candy in his honor I’ll have to go see it.
Will you join me, I’ll buy the popcorn?
youtube.com/shorts/NWGO-lykPwE?si=QkbHaRrLCQqXzOQi Maybe this guy can be in the movie.
I hope he doesn’t wear that hat during a thunderstorm.
Sequels often face the challenge of living up to their originals, especially with significant cast changes. "Spaceballs II" might introduce new talent or clever storytelling to honor the original's humor. While it's tough to top a classic, it could bring a fresh perspective to the beloved world. I'd give it a watch for nostalgia and curiosity about how they capture the original charm. 🚀
A challenge it will be & hopefully it can come close to the original.
Do you get movies in the cloud?
@Static_In_The_Attic Spaceballs 2 will be directed by Will & Harper’s Josh Greenbaum, who is also known for Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar and the R-rated dog comedy Strays. Not much is known about the project, but Amazon MGM Studios is set to produce alongside Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem writers Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez. According to Deadline, Brooks will reprise his role as Yogurt. Josh Gad and Keke Palmer lead the cast of newcomers, alongside returning cast members Bill Pullman as Lone Starr and Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet.
Mel Brooks is “still the funniest and sharpest person,” says director Josh Greenbaum. “It’s a total joy.”
“Back in the day, we didn’t have Netflix. You just went to your seven VHS tapes that you had in your house—and that was one that was on repeat,” director Josh Greenbaum told Esquire in September. 'So I started speaking with Josh Gad and then, of course, Mel Brooks to work on this. I’ve been working with him. He’s ninety-eight, and he’s still the funniest and sharpest person. It’s a total joy."
With so much new Star Wars material available, there are plenty of avenues to go down. One big idea that comes to mind: Baby Yogurt. They can have that one for free.
“There’s been a ton of Star Wars content,” Greenbaum continued. “It’s just exploded beyond the fact that there have been not three but six Star Wars films made—and that’s just in the Star Wars universe. So there’s a lot of new [material to satirize], but we also certainly focus on continuing the old, so it is a true sequel."

I have doubts it'll be any good. Josh Gadd is directing it and I don't think he's capable of making a solid, satirical comedy in this era.
I want liberal - LI. BER. AL. - references to Independence Day, as in Captain Lonestar becoming President Lonestar and making another epic speech, an appearance by the aliens, and a Randy Quaid/Russell Casse cameo.
And they had better call it "The Search for More Money".
I will watch it , but I wouldn’t go to the theater to see it , I will just wait until it comes on Netflix etc.. Part one to me wasn’t even that great , as most people make it out to be , it’s ok , but not a movie i rant and rave about I think Rick Moranis was the best in that movie in my opinion.
Mel Brooks is 98 years old. Rick Morainis has not been in a movie in 30 years, John Candy is dead, What's the point?
Good question as sequels are shit without the original cast.
Rick Moranis is coming out of retirement, Mel Brooks is still alive, as is Bill Pullman and Daphne Zuniga. We've only lost John Candy and Joan Rivers. We need comedy back in our culture.
Do trump and musk have the lead roles. Are they. going to be playing the balls. They better get a stunt man if Biden going to be playing the dick
I think it'll be terrible, but I'll still see it. Not sure they can pull it off without Barf...
I would have to watch the first one first... lol
and, I don't think I have
No I won't see it. I didn't watch the first one
Of course I would watch it, it's definitely one of my favorite parody movies.
I might watch it when it comes to a streaming service.
Not unless it featured buxom babes !!!
When? Where? WHO is in it?
probably not
