Well, I guess if Lucas is doing it, Mel might as well too.

He did say the sequel was comming, but I thought it would be in movie-form.

[Hurricane29]

A movie sequel is in the works I beleive.

The article does mention a rumor about a movie at the very bottom.

I just hope it's better than that horrible attempt at a Blazing saddles TV show.

I'd much rather see Mel Brooks get started on Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money.

[Keith]

Well, if Mel Brooks is involved, it has a chance of being good at least. Unlike the Blazing Saddles TV pilot (wish I could forget I ever watched that), which he clearly had no involvement in whatsoever.

I'd rather see Brooks remain in semi-retirement. If he had actually produced a funny movie in the last decade I could work up some enthusiasm for this, but the sad fact is that his last several films have been....well, er...crap.

If you're thinking of "Black Bart," that wasn't a "Blazing Saddles" spin off. It was a total steal from Blazing Saddles, as AFAICT, Mel Brooks had zero input (and should have sued the living daylights out of the producers of that pilot).

I have heard, though, that Brooks' last foray into TV, the short-lived late '70s ABC show "When Things Were Rotten" (a Robin Hood Spoof that was the basis, I guess, for Men in Tights) was pretty bad, though. But then Mel's had more hits than misses, right?

Nope. It's an official sipnoff. Brooks wasn't involved but WB would never let something like that stop them. The 30th anniversary special ed. DVD of Blazing Saddles has Black Bart on it. It's so bad I havn't been able to sit through 5 whole minutes of it.

The way you're talking, we shouldn't have had Macross Plus because Macross 2 was so bad.

You're assuming I liked Mac+.

[Keith]

I sat through the whole damn thing, consider yourself lucky you stopped at 5 minutes... Which reminds me, remember that terrible tv sequel to The Jerk?
