Anubis Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Mel Brooks let this out during a Producers interview: Mel Brooks Writing Spaceballs Sequel Source: Ain't-It-Cool-News September 28, 2004 In a Q&A with Playbill magazine, Mel Brooks says that he's currently working on a Spaceballs sequel. Here's the clip from the interview which starts off by talking about the big screen adaptation of The Producers. Playbill: Will you have a role in it? MB: It's doubtful, but I'm writing myself back into the Spaceballs sequel that I'm now writing, so you haven't seen the last of my face. Why another Spaceballs? It wouldn't feel right have anyone else play Yoghurt and the first one was the best experience I've had making a movie since Blazing Saddles. Playbill: When can we expect that? MB: Best case scenario: a week before the new Star Wars opens. Worst Case Scenario: a year after the new star wars opens All I can say is sweet. Spaceballs is one of my all time favorites.

Knight26 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I can see the title possiblities now: Revenge of the Schwartz Return of he Schwartz The Spaceballs Strike Back Attack of the Spaceballs A new Spaceball That Phantom Spaceball Hopefully it will be as funny as the original, though who will play Barf now *nods head in reverence of the late funnyman John Candy* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent ONE Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Parody movies are only funny once. If a sequel is made it is usually just a rehash of all the same crap. Just look at Austin Powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingNor Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 no problem, they can recast barf with a new actor, and then use computers to replace Candy in the Special Edition SpaceBalls. that way no one will be confused when they watch the original. also, now the hairdryer shoots first.

Roy's Blues Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 The omly Actor I know of that could pull Barf off *snicker* Larry Joe Campbell AKA Andy on According to Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurin Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Look at Airplane! sequel Are you crazy?!? Bill Shatner in Airplane 2 was mesmerizing! No matter how bad the rest of the movie might be, it was worth it for just those scenes. . . H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjenius81 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I dunno i enjoyed Austin Powers sequals. The second movie was the first one slightl tweaked, but the third one had a lot of new jokes and was a great movie. Airplane II was great, not as good as the first, but it was still damn funny. Just because a sequal isnt as good as the first, doesnt mean it itsnt a good movie. Spaceballs 2 will be good and getting the old cast back shouldnt be too hard (aside from Candy) as most of them had careers that ended up going no where.

Max Jenius Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 lol I hope he can get most of the original cast... or maybe make a Spaceballs prequel with Toby Macguire as young Dark Helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsu legato Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Oh noes!!!!!! Mel Brooks raped my childhood!!!! Anyway, this is a bad idea for the sole reason that Mel Brooks hasn't been even remotely funny in over a decade. Did anybody actually see Dracula: Dead And Loving It? I've had funnier root canals than that film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwinges Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I thing Arte Lange would make a great barf. I hope its a prequel I can't stand the guy that played Lone star. They need a better looking princess too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Togo Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I guess I'm the only one who didn't think Spaceballs was funny. Mel Brooks has three classics: The Producers, Blazing Saddles, and Young Frankstein. Everything else has been pretty bad, in my opinion. He should leave well enough alone. I do want to say that I believe that Blazing Saddles may be the funniest movie ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Jenius Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I guess I'm the only one who didn't think Spaceballs was funny. I don't think its funny anymore, but the first couple times I saw it I liked it. The humor is a bit dated, but some spots are good for a chuckle.

Dangaioh Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 wasn't the whole purpose of Mel Brooks movie all about cliched antics? it's a whole lot more watchable than any woody allen produced movie I can think of. BTW, the new title of the movie should be called... SpaceBalls Movie II: The Sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to have to agree as well. Not to mention, Mel Brooks has yet to top Young Frankenstein or Blazing Saddles. He's just a pale shadow of his former self.

ewilen Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 History of the World, Part I was funny. Very funny. I remembered the Producers as being funny, but when I rewatched it recently, I found it horribly dated. Are they thinking of taking the stage version and making a new movie?

Capt Hungry Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I'm sorry..........but Spaceballs is not one of Mel Brooks better movies. His best movies are Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and High Anxiety. Sure Spaceballs has it's moments, but it's just not Mel at his best.

Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money Gosh you guys are the Comic Guy incarnants: never just get excited about a new movie. Some of you guys would probably talk smack about the new Resident Evil 4, even with how good it looks. I for one was wondering what face of the earth Mel Brooks fell off of, I'm glad to see he's back. Everything about this election year's reminding me of his "Roman Senate" part of History of the Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I loved Spaceballs, and A History of the World Part 1. I am kinda worried though, Dracual Dead and Loving It did suck the big one. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Leader Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 We already know the title, remember? Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money lol, you know... as much as I planned on seeing the movie anyway, I'd ESPECIALLY go see it if it had that title... if he had the audacity to put that on there, it would rock just that much more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Brooks has been sliding downhill for quite a while... just like all the other greats of hollywood. His first few movies were the best of the best (The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstien), his middle camp were funny in spots but otherwise forgettable (High Anxiety, History of the World, To Be or Not to Be, Spaceballs), his later works are mainly avoidable (Life Stinks, Robin Hood Men in Tights) and his most recent efforts are just downright terrible (Dracula Dead and Loving It). I myself would rather see Mel retire and look back on a wide career than feel the need to keep cranking out bad movies. Having lost his two best character actors (Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn) I feel Mel is still to this day searching for their replacements, most of his post-Wilder/Kahn movies just lack that "magic" that the early works have.

Anubis Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 My favorite is still Dark Helmet - "Careful you idiot! I said across he nose not up it." Gunner - "Sorry sir doing my best." Dark Helmet - "Who made that man a gunner?" Major - "I did sir, he's my cousin." Dark Helmet - "Who's he?" Col. Sanders - "He's an a-hole sir." Dark Helmet - "I know that, what's his name." Col. Sanders - "That is his name sir a-hole, Major a-hole." Dark Helmet - "What about him?" Col. Sanders - "He's an a-hole too sir. Gunners Mate 1st Class Phillip a-hole." Dark Helmet - "How many a-holes we got around here anyhow?" The entire bridge crew stands up "Yo!" Dark Helmet - "I knew it I'm surrounded by a-holes." Flips down the mask, "Keep firing a-holes!" I love that movie. Next best is "I'm the bearded lady, who are you one of the freaks?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryHolmes Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Hey, Men In Tights rocked. Carey El-he-with-the-last-name-I-can-never-spell-properly-ays was an absolute riot as Robin Hood, but the Sherrif of Rottingham just stole the show, by far. I find that Mel Brooks is more hit than miss, though I have yet to find a way to enjoy Blazing Saddles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that Mel Brooks is more hit than miss, though I have yet to find a way to enjoy Blazing Saddles. Men in Tights was very funny. Mind you, I saw Prince of thieves first, so it's not like it could have been a much worse Robin Hood movie. Blazing Saddles was hilarious. The ending was a little off, but the rest of the movie is hysterical. Just don't watch it on network TV. They cut all the best parts out. I can't believe they even edited the camp fire scene. I'm deffinately looking forward to a Spaceballs sequel. I just wander what they'll about Barf. "Not in here, mister. This is a Mercedes!"

Syngyne Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Having lost his two best character actors (Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn) I know Madeline Kahn died, but what happened to Gene Wilder? IMDB still lists him as alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
