It better be "The Search for More Money"
- Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money
  
  Has to be!
- I was honestly disappointed we didn't get Spaceballs: The Sequel
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.
- 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.
- I want to see a super serious trailer with Dark Helmet a la Darth Vader... with an optional comedic break near the end.
- There's an interview that he did recently floating around YouTube. He seems like he's ready to be back.
- 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.
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
  
  The Expanse
  
  While I wouldn't say they've "ruined it" it felt like a significant drop in quality the moment Amazon took over.
We asked what the fans want. Instead, we're making this movie.

nice
- Classic Mel.
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!
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.
- 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.
Damn, they're finally making 'The Search for More Money.' Too bad Disney kind of beat him to it.
History of the World Part II was honestly fucking great. It also had very little to do with Mel Brooks. It had brilliant comedians at the helm writing and steering everything: Ike Barinholtz, Nick Kroll, and Wanda Sykes. A goddamn DREAM TEAM, and they pulled it off regardless of the reviews.

This outing had better heavy hitters really leaning hard into the comedy. I've heard good things about The Naked Gun remake which is a lot of people in this same arena, plus Seth Macfarlane. That's quite a big team.

Please don't ruin this great movie with a sub-par sequel.

Rick Moranis, I'm speaking directly to you because I know in my heart you are using Lemmy.

You better fucking show up.
- He's already signed on, along with Bill Pullman
  
  What about Michael Winslow?
  
  you just made my fucking day. thank you
- Rick Moranis, I’m speaking directly to you because I know in my heart you are using Lemmy.
  
  hi it's me rick thank you for continuing to believe in me it's children like you that keep the christmas magic alive
  
  The REAL Rick Moranis wouldn't have horrible grammar and punctuation. He's Canadian.
  
  Get outta heeeeeeere ✊
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.
I hope Bill Pullman's son is in this too as Lonestar's son. And his name is Bob.
hahhaha! YES!

if Brooks is making it, sure.
Oh god, no!
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.
Please let this be true
So, Jack Black as Barf?
- i expect Josh Gad as son of Barf
  
  That would work too. Lots of great potential choices.
- Don't put that out into the world. We have enough horrors as it is.
